Sotajumala working on 4th album

Finnish death metal band Sotajumala are working on their fourth studio full-length album. Here is a message from the band:

"We've been quiet for a fairly long time, but we can finally say that there's light at the end of the tunnel. We've been working on our fourth album off and on for the last 3+ years and while it's not quite ready just yet, we felt that an update was due.

It's been a long and difficult process, but we decided early on that we would not rush this album. It'll be done when we say it's done, not a day sooner. We realize that this has not been the best career move for us, but this band has never been a career for us either. We've simply been writing what we've felt like when we've felt like it. There have been months of hiatus followed by intense writing followed by more hiatus. Nothing has been forced. Love us or hate us for it, this is how we work.

Whereas we've typically entered studio with just enough material for an album, this time we just kept writing and ended up with enough songs for a double album. Over the past month we've went through the material and picked the strongest songs for the album. We're obviously biased, but this is going to be one crushing album! It's a natural progression and rest assured, it still sounds like Sotajumala.

We will start recording on September 15th with Sami Koivisto and everything should be ready in November. Seeing as we don't have a label yet, it's hard to give an exact release date, but with or without a label, we're shooting for an early 2015 release."
