Former Max Webster frontman and longtime Rush friend Kim Mitchell is now a DJ on Canadian radio station Q107. Yesterday Andy Curran of the Toronto-based 80s-era band Coney Hatch - who is now with Rush's management - came into the studio. Kim put the following post on his blog regarding the visit:

So he seems to be repeating the this will sound like an old Rush record theme that producer Nick Raskulinecz spoke about. The good news keeps pouring in.
If you don't know already, the rumored working title for the album is Snakes and Arrows. Also, Alex Lifeson stated in a recent interview that the album is slated for a late April or early May release; the recording process was filmed for a possible future in-studio DVD; and the tour will start in June and include North America and Europe with a break for Christmas then onto South America.
