The Swedish outfit confirmed they'd decided to complete a new studio project, despite previously saying it wasn't on the cards since their 2007 reunion.

The band said: "What we learned from the last couple of years is that we enjoy what we do to the fullest extent. We love playing music together, and we love to hang out as friends.

"We are fully aware that we have made some very drastic statements about the longevity of At The Gates - but things change, situations change and people change."
