Yes it's true. British progressive blackened death metal band (what a mouthful) Akercocke have announced their reunion and published their first song in over nine years.
From their facebook-page:
We have returned after a 5 year absence from the live circuit. We are reinvigorated by the return of our original guitarist Paul Scanlan and the ranks are completed by Dam front man Nathaniel Underwood on bass guitar. Following the great experience the band enjoyed in 2008, we are proud to return to the Bloodstock Festival Main Stage for a second time. Expect fan favourites from the past and killer new tunes from the present. See you down the front!

Obviously, a decent reunion demands new music, and also in that Akercocke delivers. Check out their newest song.
