Post hardcore mainstays Story Of The Year return at full throttle with the announcement of their eighth studio album ‘A.R.S.O.N.,’ arriving February 13, 2026 via SharpTone Records. The band kick off the new chapter with “Gasoline (All Rage Still Only Numb),” one of the heaviest tracks in their catalog, driven by scorched guitars, a punishing breakdown, and vocals that swing between fury and release. Written as a moment of rupture and clarity, the song captures the instant when restraint disappears and instinct takes over, delivering raw energy with purpose and precision.
An acronym for All Rage Still Only Numb, ‘A.R.S.O.N.’ pushes Story Of The Year’s emotional core into sharper focus, channeling anxiety, inner pressure, and survival through big hooks and relentless momentum. Produced once again by Colin Brittain, the album builds on the foundation of ‘Tear Me To Pieces’ while zeroing in on what defines the band at their strongest: massive guitars, propulsive drums, and lyrics that live close to the edge. It is a record that sounds combustible and controlled at the same time, the kind that demands volume and rewards catharsis, reinforcing why Story Of The Year continue to stand as one of the genre’s most enduring voices.
