From the band’s myspace page:

Hello all.

Some of you may already know that we’ve been down in L.A. recording drums for our new record. Many of you have been wondering how we were doing that without being signed. Well, we have been working on this deal for some time while we were preparing to hit the studio!

All of the stars lined up perfectly and we finished the writing process the same week we inked our new deal with Nuclear Blast! Now there can be official studio reports so anyone who give a sh1t can keep up with what’s going on. We will start those up for you right away.

Here is the official statement from the band and Nuclear Blast as printed this morning on www.Blabbermouth.net …Now it’s time to get back to work!
