Well, they just served up said surprise by announcing ANOTHER new album on deck this year.
The band will also drop failure will follow on May 12, as well.
failure will follow showcases the sludgier side of the band, as evidenced by the new single "basin of vows". Watch the 57-second preview of the song via the visualizer on YouTube.
