Norwegian death metallers Extol have checked in with the following update:

“Hi everyone! It´s been awfully quiet from the Extol camp lately. We know many of you are eager to know what´s going on and when to expect something new from Extol. Due to other projects and obligations it´s gonna take a good while before we can start working on new material.
