Art Against Agony has announced their new album "Shiva Appreciation Society" on their website and Facebook page (July 23):
The release of the album is scheduled for later this year, and pre-order is expected to be available soon.
SAS is going to be the third album of the progressive metal/jazz band - the first featuring mridangam drumming by the_maximalist, who already appeared live with the band since last year - and follows last year's release of two EPs ("The forgotten story" and "Russian Tales"). 
Tha band has also shared pictures and snippets from a forthcoming video for a single lifted from the album.
Bass duties appear to have passed from the_heretic to the_twin.

The Germany-based international art collective has also announced (August 22) the dates for a "Shiva Appreciation European Tour 2018" that will visit countries including Germany, France and Austria.

AAA just released a video for SAS' song "Nandi":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=razSQkKYnAc

According to AAA's statement on their Facebook page: 
"Within the video, we narrate our version of Plato's allegory of the cave: What you see in the materialistic world is merely an image - bodies, faces and names, that appear for a short time in flesh, yet with death and destruction very soon dissolve and disappear again. [...]"

The full version of the song (contained in the album) features a guest solo by HAKEN's Richard Henshall.
