Classic Rock recently revealed the front cover of the Limited Edition Fanpack released in the UK on 30th October.
The album recording started in February 2014 when the band thought they might record one or two songs for a possible online release.
They ended up with 12 in that first session and decided to make a full album. This countdown tells the story of the album over the 2014/2015 recording period as told by the band in various interviews.

"And then after that we went on to explore different styles that required more of a thoughtful production approach. You know bit by bit but like I say it's a diverse record. There's some stuff on it that's pretty strange that we've never done before like we have a psychedelic track. It still sounds like Def Leppard. It's still unmistakeably Leppard."
"There's one song. A great song that Joe wrote but we're all singing lead vocal on it which is highly unique."

Album Title? - "We do but I'm not telling you. I'm sorry. And I can also tell you that it's not terribly imaginative. So you can probably guess."

"Yeah, yeah we just finished the new album. So - well we finished the recording part of it. Now it's mix time so I'm just getting my head out of studio-land for a while."
Album Release? - "Not sure yet. We're still working on that because there's been a lot of interest because we're a free agent. We're not signed to a label. We self financed the recording of this record and that's prompted a lot of people to stick their heads up like gophers out of little record company holes all over the world. You know so we're entertaining offers, let's put it that way."
