It's been four-and-a-half years since Greek thrashers Suicidal Angels released its most recent album Years Of Aggression, but the wait for a follow-up record is almost over, as the band has finished recording, mixing and mastering it for a tentative 2024 release. This new record will be their first release back on Nuclear Blast Records, who released the second Suicidal Angels album Sanctify The Darkness back in 2009 before the band moved to NoiseArt Records for the rest of their albums.

Commenting on the band's return to Nuclear Blast, guitarist and vocalist Nick Melissourgos told The Metal Crypt: "We signed with them again. Our new album is going to be released on Nuclear Blast. The new album is ready; recorded, mixed, mastered. We have already finished a couple of videos and are in the process of talking with Nuclear Blast again and making a plan for when it would be the best possible period for releasing our new album."

As for a possible release date, he said: "No, we haven't set the release date for it yet. We're still talking to them about when would be the best possible time to get it out. The fact is that we also changed our booking agency right before this summer as well. Somehow the whole situation is still new to us, so it needs a bit of arrangement, which will take a bit more time than it would usually plus, the war in Ukraine cost a lot as far as the business side is concerned. I mean, if you wanted to release a vinyl at the beginning of the year, you had to wait around 8 to 12 months. Now the wait is shorter, but it's still a long time compared to before COVID. In the past, if you delivered the master tape to the vinyl pressing plant three months before the release date, that worked. Nowadays you need at least eight months to get your vinyl out. You'll be on the waiting list as the queue is so long."
