Since 2014, Wheatus has been in the process of recording a sixth studio album. Tentatively titled Beasts of the Unknown , Brown has stated that the direction of the record will be “80’s metal”, inspired by the bands he grew up listening to as a teenager. The first track from the album, “Zelda”, first appeared in the band’s live setlist in late 2014. Recording was due to take place in late 2015, until plans for a tour celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of their debut album were announced. During this time, drummer William Tully left, and Leo Freire replaced him. Joey Slater also replaced Karlie Bruce after she left for a second time. Wheatus then toured with Busted on their 2016 Pigs Can Fly arena tour.
