And the drummer reveals the new tracks encapsulate everything they've done before while still paying tribute to their musical influences.

On the subject of album he tells Talking Metal Digital: "We continue to pay homage to our roots - a lot of the bands we grew up listening to during the 70s. I think it's a wonderful mixture of everything that inspired us and everything we've done. I think people will hear many different influences."

Allen says the majority of the 16 tracks they've been working on are almost finished and reveals some are "just about ready to present."
