It doesn't necessarily have to be "they" are the ones who got a weird way of doing things. Could be their label insisting on doing it like that, you want to be able to tour immediately when an album drops, even if its not a very long tour. And the main appeal of this band are its members and the supergroup (I don't really like that word) status it got.
So when people hear a new song and go to a show next week, they expect to see five ex In Flames dudes and not half of replacements. I imagine the label can't be happy with Jesper missing shows when he is arguably the biggest selling point of the band.
Again, I don't claim these are the actual reasons but I'm sure there is logic behind such an extensive waiting time. At the same time, if someone told me a year ago that THE would take a longer time to release a new album than Wintersun...
