Former Blink-182 member Tom Delonge and his Angels & Airwaves project have relaunched their website in anticipation of their upcoming record, I-Empire.

The new site features what appears to be some new music as well as samples of lyrics. Delonge recently made a series of cryptic statements about the band, noting:

I have a lot of incredible things happening here and music is just one part of it. A couple of years ago I started talking about what I wanted to do with music and the things that I wanted [the band] to lead the charge on and it’s all happening. It’s taken a lot of money, effort and technology but it’s happening.

The band released their debut, We Don’t Need to Whisper last year.
