The band's fifth full-length album was recorded at Tonteknik Studios in the band's hometown of Umea. The follow-up to 2006's Somewhere Along The Highway, Eternal Kingdom is set to be a much heavier and darker affair than previous albums.
The artwork for Eternal Kingdom can be viewed on the left (click to enlarge).
Guitarist Erik Olofsson had the following to say: "It is with great ambition and struggle we have created a very heavy album. The sound is strong and progressive. Our compositions do not hold back on anything this time!"

Eternal Kingdom will be released on June 16th in the UK/Europe and July 8th in the US.
