The Black Swan has Arrived!

Epitaph annonced today that Story of the Year's next album "The Black Swan" will be released on April 22, 2008! This is sure to be a special disc as the guys had anything but a clean break from their last record label, Maverick.

As posted by Dan Marsala, SOTY's lead singer, in his personal blog:
"We are very proud of this one and I can't wait for you guys to hear it. I'm sorry this writing and recording process has taken so long, but I'm sure everyone has read about us signing a new record deal and all that shit. It's been a long year for us, and a shitload of work, but all of the fucked up shit that we've been through has sparked a new fire in this band. We're ready to get back on the road and burn down every fucking club in the world. 2008 is going to be a big year for us. Signing to Epitaph is one of the best things that could have ever happened to our band. They are an amazing label that actually cares about music, not just making fucking money."

I believe that says it all about this one. Fuel to the writing fire that is the fury we've come to know and love from these guys. Expect this album to have the appeal of Page Avenue, while carrying the heavy, fast riffs of In The Wake of Determination.
