ABBA has dropped its first album in four decades.
The Swedish pop group consisting of Benny Andersson, Frida Lyngstad, Agnetha Faltskog, and Bjorn Ulvaeus confirmed "Voyage" has officially been released.
The band announced their studio return via Twitter back in September after initially teasing something could be coming soon.
"We are on our way back! Thank you for waiting," ABBA tweeted. "#ABBAVoyage is the concert we've always wanted to perform for our fans. The journey is about to begin!"
"Voyage" is slated to release Nov. 5 and the group is billing their concert series as "revolutionary," seeing as they’ve "been digitised using state-of-the-art motion capture technology," a follow-up tweet said.

The "Dancing Queen" performers, who had broken up in 1982, created an "Abbatars" concert and album concept back in 2016, which was designed by the visual effects company Industrial Light and Magic, founded by "Star Wars" creator George Lucas, according to The Guardian.
Fans have been anxiously awaiting the first new music in nearly four decades from the iconic Swedish pop band — which has earned a reported $2 billion in a career that’s spanned arena stages, 400 million records sold, the Broadway stage and movie screens.
