Important they use momentum gathered from these tours - assuming rumour is true - to get the new record out and capitolise, although no-one seems to be in any hurry.

Nowadays, album releases take a backseat to touring. There's not much money in album sales, so why make it a priority? Still, it's been an eternity since WCFYA, and the state of the band seems pretty stale without new songs.

Why make it a priority? Cause metal fans aren't going to invest money into tickets and merch continually on the back of old records. New material = new merch and tour opportunities and promo stuff = $$.
