Chicago, IL's Yakuza will release a new studio album next year -- just ten years after the release of Beyul .

The band has scheduled time at Palisades Studio with engineer Sanford Parker (Yob, Voivod) later this month with an estimated spring release date. The record will be released on War Crime Recordings in the US and Svart Recordings elsewhere.
