Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott was interviewed recently by the Polish media and says the band will release the new album on their own.
Joe talked about the band's record dales, his memories of playing in Poland, 2015 studio album, Phil's health/fitness regime and whether he is a rock icon.
Joe had already mentioned the possibility they may decide to self release after weighing up their options. This interview, although a bad translation, suggests they have decided to go ahead and release it via Mailboat Records/Bludgeon Riffola.
The second paragraph below has been adjusted from the Google translation to make a bit more sense. Read the original via the link.

Rzeczpospolita - Joe Elliott Interview Quotes - Translated
2015 Studio Album Style
"The new album is in preparation, will be released later this year. It will be a combination of old and new and the unknown. We have the comfort that they can honestly say that my group has never recorded a bad album. We recorded albums as diverse as "On Through the Night ',' High 'n' Dry "," Slang "," Euphoria ", which we did not write the audience. People love us mainly for such albums as" Pyromania "," Hysteria "and" Adrenalize " but never - themselves. After the most hit albums managed to record the album "Slang", softer and less commercial. The album next year will celebrate the 20th birthday, not grown old."
2015 Studio Album Release
"They made themselves known to us all the major record labels. We decided, however, that we will release a new album ourselves. The album is so good that it can deal with its promotion alone. Unless you show me a contract (we) can't refuse (laughs)."
