Story Of The Year release their seventh studio album, ‘A.R.S.O.N.’, out everywhere now via SharpTone Records.
‘A.R.S.O.N.’ is where energy, emotion, and precision collide. It proves that Story of the Year thrives in the tension between rage and restraint, destruction and rebirth, channeling catharsis with deliberate control. An acronym for ‘All Rage, Still Only Numb’, the title sets the stage for a record that turns their explosive intensity and heaviest material yet inward, grappling with anxiety, emotional unrest, and the shadows we carry. Fusing the sharp, modern post-hardcore sound that’s earned them countless fans with polished production and flashes of their early roots, ‘A.R.S.O.N.’ captures a band pushing forward: matured, focused, and fearless as ever.
“With ‘A.R.S.O.N.’, we wanted to continue the energy and momentum that we built on ‘Tear Me To Pieces’. We once again put every bit of heart and soul into writing songs that we truly love and connect with,” shares frontman Dan Marsala. “‘A.R.S.O.N.’ has some of the heaviest songs we’ve ever written, but also some of the biggest choruses of our career. We’ve never been afraid to take chances with our writing, and this record is no different! We went back with the amazing Colin Brittain to produce and co-write, with help from co-producers Dan Book and Kevin McCombs. Such an amazing team of talented humans! They continue to make our band sound better than ever!”
