After teasing some new music months ago, the band revealed that the next album could drop in 2017. Drummer Jeremy Gara now confirms that a new LP is indeed coming this year. In discussing the new record with Red Bull Poland, Gara stated:

“…they are all recorded. The album should be out this year. We are still at the stage of mixing and decide which songs will be on the record, because we recorded a little more than we need. But we’re almost done…I know we’re a popular band, but we always stick to the same rule; we record until we feel that the music is ready.”
