Edit - I'm an idiot and didn't even read the quote I put up - looks like Ivar is still part of the band.
I just heard the new song off the album "Storm Son" and it is... interesting. This album definitely signifies a bit of a genre shift, leaning more towards their progressive rock influences. It's not necessarily a bad thing, they've kind of been riding the wave started with their 2010 album Axioma Ethica Odini, but their two follow-ups since that haven't topped it.

I just hope they don't go full Opeth from here on out and make mediocre prog albums.
