It's called 'Specter at the Feast' and will be released on March 19th.
The lead single is called 'Let the Day Begin', and for some background to the song, it is a cover of Robert's dad's band The Call, and is a nice tribute to him after his untimely passing a couple years ago. I can't imagine how emotional this must have been for Robert to record and sing his dad's song.
You can listen to it here right now!

Yessir! I'll gladly enjoy some new BRMC. Can't fucking wait to hear the rest of the album. This is a rockin' first single. Already heard good things about the songs. Bring on March, bitches!

I love how they updated the song with the multi-tracked sprawling guitars and thumping drums that people have come to associate as the 'BRMC sound', but still kept all the spirit of the original. It's the same reason why I enjoyed when Oasis did covers so much. They did the same thing.

Whoa, sounds great! I'll admit I lost some faith in them after the last few albums, but this is great.

I'll have to give this and the new album a good listen. I really like them though I haven't heard much since Baby 81 a couple years ago.

I've listened to the single like 50 times in a row now. It's so damn good and addictive. I love whatever vocal effects they put on Robert's voice at the end. Does anyone else think this song sounds like a mix between early U2 and The Verve? That's the best way I can describe it. Those spacey guitar effects at the very end of the song sound a lot like what The Verve would do at the end of their songs.

It'll be a huge live track.
If there are any Oasis fans checking out this thread who haven't seen Black Rebel live, they're really worth it if you like rock n roll which melts your face off.
I've lost count of how many BRMC gigs I've been to, it must be 20.
