On May 15, 2016, Suicidal Tendencies posted a video of Lombardo laying down tracks for the band’s follow-up to 13 , which was expected to be released in September. This video implied that Lombardo had become a permanent member of Suicidal Tendencies. On June 17, 2016, Suicidal Tendencies announced in a newsletter that they were in the final stages of mixing the new album, which was expected to be released on September 30, 2016. Mike Muir revealed in June 2016 interviews that the album would be called The World Gone Mad , and that the band planned to release a new EP in January 2017. However, the title of the album was later shortened to World Gone Mad . It was supported by the band’s first single in 22 years (since 1994’s “Love Vs. Loneliness”) “Clap Like Ozzy”. To promote World Gone Mad , Suicidal Tendencies supported Megadeth , Amon Amarth and Metal Church on the Dystopia tour in the United States in September–October 2016, and headlined two tours in 2017: the Persistence Tour with Agnostic Front in Europe in January, and a U.S. tour in February–March with Crowbar and Havok . Muir had stated in interviews that World Gone Mad may be Suicidal Tendencies’ final studio album, though he later retracted this statement, saying, “You can’t believe what anybody says nowadays – everybody’s effin’ lyin’.”
