About two weeks after the release of Persona Non Grata , Holt spoke to The Aquarian Weekly about a potential follow-up album. When the interviewer reminded him to “be careful about losing [his] cell phone”, in reference to a similar incident in which Metallica and original Exodus guitarist Kirk Hammett lost his cell phone containing riffs that he had recorded for Hardwired… to Self-Destruct , Holt responded: “I have my stuff backed up, but if I lose my phone, I wouldn’t care. I’ve used the stuff I have really wanted to and by the time we do the next album, I’ll probably record another thousand riffs that I don’t listen back to.” In a December 2021 interview with Guitar.com , Holt promised that there would not be another seven-year gap in between two studio albums. The Bay Strikes Back tour returned in October 2021, and went until October 2023.
