The record will be launched on October 27 via Century Media, and comes after the band insisted they wouldn't release new music following their 2007 reunion.

Lindberg tells Horns Up Rocks: "We didn't announce we were doing a record until we had all the material. We wrote in secrecy, so we weren't stressed about what other people might think or how they'd react.

"We had an idea that we should try anything that comes into our heads - but also that anything could be thrown away. So it was a lot of 'kill your darlings.' Everybody had to agree about everything that was recorded."
