Def Leppard will release their highly anticipated new self titled studio album on 30th October and there are 31 days to go.

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.

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.

"I've been asked quite a lot recently. What would you have said to somebody that would have said to me in 1979 that you'd be more busy when you're 54 years old than you are when you're 19. I would've laughed at them but that's what it's turned out to be. There is a demand and I and the rest of the guys in the band are extremely flattered and blessed that we get the opportunity to exploit that demand if you like by coming out and playing shows and still being able to create new music which will be the pinnacle of next year we hope."

"We've just written 15 songs for a new album. We're actually blown away cause normally it takes us about five years to write two songs. And we've got 15 songs all ready - we've gotta finish them off but we're gonna have an album out next year. So for us that's our big goal. Next year's gonna be a really important year we've got this great album that we've recorded. It's been really going fast and flowing so we're ultra excited about that."

"We thought we'd get four. We thought if we were lucky we'd get four songs and you know release them as an EP or try and get it on a film soundtrack or something. So you know the fact that we didn't stop and everyone was coming even Rick Allen you know who doesn't usually do that came in with a couple of great ideas and you know we're doing one of the songs that he started - that he brought in so that's really cool. That's a different dynamic."

"We got on so amazingly just in the studio it was just flowing it was very kind of open minded and the songs reflect that. There's no real barriers it kind of reminds me of a Manraze album a little bit and the fact that you know it doesn't sound like a Manraze album but the approach."
