it makes more sense to make a brand new post for news for the whole album and not just the single since I would imagine a separate post will get generated once the album drops.

Based on what they've previewed on Patreon, it appears they will have a ton of new merch to sell with the album. Stinks they can't fully tour for this album run. Europe for sure is out of the question since they are now entering a third set of COVID-19 shut downs. I could be wrong, but I believe Australia and New Zealand have COVID-19 beat to respectable numbers, so I guess they can tour locally.
