He gave us hope before the September 19th post when he uploaded this picture last year. At the time we all thought that we're getting an ep until that September post which came out of the blue.

Something should come up very soon (announcement or interview or anything to shed light on what's happening).

So,this is before the 19th of September?

Maybe his intention was to release an EP but then realised he had enough material for a new album.
Then(?) he signed a new deal and as always he did not deliver.So we wait...
I think we will get a new album till march.

Two years ago, he said he’d never make another record, such was his disdain for the slog of recording, touring and writing. He seems to have had a rethink since. “I was serious,” he says of his pronouncement. “I’m fed up with the whole ‘album’ thing now, I just prefer to write tunes and put them out in a different way.”

But when the urge comes you have to obey it, he says. “You can’t help when songs get written. A few ideas decided it was time.”

Those few songs are likely to coalesce into an album in the early part of next year, he says, and promises the tracks will be like those on the band’s previous album, The Day is My Enemy, only more “old school”.

Plans change all the time.

So calm down.

This band owes you nothing, anyway. They've already made 3 classic records. Everything else is just a bonus at this point.

It's not a question of anybody owing anything to anyone.
It's the question of announcing stuff and a time, and then keeping radio silence until after the date has passed.
