Edguy recording new album!

So there's 7 tracks to preview now at edguy.net, in addition to the previous four (Robin Hood, Nobody's Hero, Rock of Cashel and Pandora's Box), there's Faces of Darkness, Breathe and Behind the Gates to Midnight World.
 
Is that 'fo sho? In the Interview I scanned and linked to earlier on in this thread, Tobi says they'll do "Probably five or six club dates in November or December". Not that I'm saying it makes it a sure thing, just that I'm under the impression it's only a matter of time before they announce a UK tour.
I think maybe next year would be more likely...all depends on the powers that be!
 
The new samples disappoint me, everything sounds samey, can't stand Tobi's shouty rock voice... not looking good...
