A listing on Amazon.com has the release date set for May 23 in Japan.

So while that doesn’t really help those in America or Europe, it can be assumed that the album will drop right around the same time, if not on the very same day. It’s pretty much confirmed that we will get the new Rush album in late May.

Time to get pumped Rush fans! The countdown to Clockwork Angels starts now.
