It's not a lot, but I gathered up enough info to say, Ascension will be realsed this year. I am 99% sure....
1. Jared said in a interview awhile ago that he would start putting more instruments in his CD and he would start working on it 2013
2. In another interview he said "Their ninth studio LP, “Ascension,” should come out during “the first half of 2013." Well that is what the interviewers got
3. The new Cd was already planned for 2013
Hope you like my findings
