Here are some videos Ian has posted:

In the second video Ian confirms that Dave Cobb will produce the album, so this will be the first time that Europe has used the same producer for two studio albums in a row.

I'm still not convinced if this is a wise move. Because to this day I still think that War of kings doesn't sound so good at all. But they (Europe) did get a lot of good press and thumbs up for the album so who am I?

That's from the studio in Stockholm where he records his solo stuff, so I doubt it's for Europe

You might be right, he is working simultaneously on both albums, but in the post hashtags he mentions #Europetheband #newalbum, so it might be Europe's stuff after all. They mentioned that the new tracks sound 'heavy' and 'majestic', but this preview is somewhat different
