Earlier this year, frontman Tobias Forge confirmed he was already working on the follow-up to last year's Prequelle album.
"I have tons of bits and pieces and stuff written, and I know that once I really start working that there’s going to be a record which feels very inspired," he told Billboard. "The dramaturgic nature of the records and the stories are getting more and more intertwined nowadays, which I like."
