Well, with all the lot of talking we already had about this, I think we all more or less had imagined two scenarios:
1. According to the "Mark’s as yet untitled new album is currently scheduled for completion in March 2018" news, seemed logical that the new record would be released in Autumm 2018
2. According to Guy, they were delayed mixing so we started to think about a Early 2019 or Spring 2019 release
With Guy telling in his forum that the delay in mixing didn't affect the schedule, we went to scenario number 1, so, it's great there is an official announcement backing our guess, really hoping for next announcement with real new information!
