Tenacious D has officially announced their first collaborative project since the fallout between Jack Black and Kyle Gass, marking a long-awaited reunion for the comedy rock duo. The group revealed the news on their official Instagram page, confirming that their next release is just around the corner. The announcement follows months of uncertainty after the pair’s temporary split.
The rift came when Gass made controversial remarks during a live performance, prompting Black to take a step back from the band. This pause in their partnership left fans wondering whether Tenacious D would return at all. The news of a fresh project is therefore being met with excitement and relief by their loyal following.
Now, with tensions seemingly behind them, the duo is ready to get back to what they do best: blending irreverent comedy with high-energy rock. Their announcement hints at renewed creative chemistry and a determination to leave the controversy in the past.

The Complete Masterworks Vol. 3
The new release, The Complete Masterworks Vol. 3, is set to arrive on October 3, 2025, via MVD Entertainment Group. Described as the band’s most comprehensive collection yet, it stands as both a celebration of their history and a testament to their enduring appeal. The project will be available in Blu-ray and DVD formats, ensuring fans can experience it in high quality.
At the heart of the release is a full recording of their sold-out headline performance at London’s O2 Arena on June 16, 2023, during the Spicy Meatball Tour. This concert footage captures the band at their most vibrant, performing signature tracks like “Tribute,” “The Metal,” and “Beelzeboss (The Final Showdown).”
Beyond the live show, the package also features the duo’s animated film Post Apocalypto, which was written, illustrated, and voiced by Black. This addition highlights the pair’s multimedia creativity, blending music, storytelling, and animation into a single, fan-focused experience.
A Defining Moment for the Duo
In their official statement, Tenacious D called the project “the one they’ll remember us for,” boldly predicting that it would “sell like hotcakes.” This confidence reflects the group’s intent to make The Complete Masterworks Vol. 3 not just a release, but a definitive career highlight.
The timing of this project is significant. It bridges the gap between the band’s hiatus and their renewed collaboration, serving as a tangible sign that their partnership is back on track. For fans, it’s more than just a collection — it’s proof that Tenacious D can weather storms and emerge stronger.
With the release date set and pre-orders now open, anticipation is building. Whether you’re a long-time devotee or a casual fan, this upcoming chapter promises to capture Tenacious D’s signature energy, humor, and musical prowess — perhaps like never before.
