Def Leppard will release their highly anticipated new self titled studio album on 30th October and there are 19 days to go.
Read a new Track By Track guide to all 14 songs based on what we currently know about them.
The band revealed the final running order for the album on Instagram on 14th September.
The first single/radio track Let's Go was then premiered online a day later and released digitally on 16th September.
A new lyric video for this song was released via YouTube on 2nd October.
Classic Rock have now revealed the front cover of the Limited Edition Fanpack released in the UK on 30th October.
The album recording started in February 2014 when the band thought they might record one or two songs for a possible online release.
They ended up with 12 in that first session and decided to make a full album. This countdown tells the story of the album over the 2014/2015 recording period as told by the band in various interviews.

"It's not yet we're actually still doing it. We're finishing up. We've got 15 songs and it should be ready - it should be released by the time we get out there. It's very close."

"We cut a bunch of tracks and we basically left it all on Joe. We said Joe go and write some lyrics and sing on this. So the weight is on his shoulders to get this done in time. I know that he's currently doing a little club tour around the UK and Ireland with his project band Down 'n' Outz. But before and after that he's in the studio doing some vocals. And he'll be doing that right the way through to January and - basically Phil and I are kind of phoning in some other parts you know. We do some Pro Tools sessions at home and then we send them over to Dublin to fit into the record. So the bulk of the record is done. It's just the finishing touches and a lot of the lead vocals that need to go on from here on."

"We have 15 songs that we're finishing off, Joe is singing I think today. I may go in, in January, just to finish off some solos and a bit of backing vocals. So I would imagine (it'll be out) April-May-ish. I don't want to promise anything because I don't really know."
