As for potential new material, Chimaira vocalist Mark Hunter stated shortly after the announcement of the reunion shows that there will not be any new material coming, though guitarist Rob Arnold says the situation is a little more nuanced.

In an interview with The Ex-Man With Doc Coyle, Arnold said new material isn't entirely out of the question. Arnold then went on to explain that putting out new material is a lot more complicated than just crapping out some songs, and that the band is very aware that everyone wants new Chimaira.

"I won't say that new Chimaira material, while we're not talking about it, is completely off the table. But there's a very good chance we may never have it, but there may be. We all know in Chimaira that people want more music but like you guys I'm sure, we're not a band that's going to throw something together just because. There's going to be so much planning and stewing to make that happen.

"We've actually tried – maybe you heard – we were kind of geared up after that last show as you know, things were great. As you know, God Forbid is probably fired up right now, but then the pandemic hit and it just wiped everything out. It just stopped completely. Now for these shows it's re-getting everything going again."
