A Perfect Circle guitarist Billy Howerdel was asked in a new interview with Las Vegas Weekly if a new A Perfect Circle album was currently in the works, he responded, “No, I’d love to—when the time is right. It would be awesome. I’m trying to write songs with that in mind, but … right now, I’m focusing most of my energy on a new Ashes Divide record, which is under way with 11 songs. Still working on finishing vocals and writing lyrics, and hopefully get that thing mixed in January or February.” A Perfect Circle’s last album eMOTIVe was released in 2004, but it was mostly a covers album and only featured two original songs. The last A Perfect Circle album containing all new material was 2003′s Thirteenth Step.
