Notorious black metal collective WATAIN has issued the following statement:

Ladies and gentlemen, followers, allies and supporters,
this is a solemn transmission from the Temple of Watain.
 
We hereby announce that in III years’ time – upon our 30th anniversary –
Watain’s eighth and final full-length album will be released.
 
The album will mark the closure of a thirty-year-long magical Work, the last crossroad of Watain, after which the band will cease to exist. The ending of a triad of decades during which we have shared our sacred path through this strange world with you, our loyal audience, on a steady course towards the beckoning darkness of The End.
