The new studio album “A.R.S.O.N.” by Story Of The Year will be released by SharpTone Records on February 13, 2026, as reported by blabbermouth.net. You can stream “Gasoline (All Rage Still Only Numb)“—the album’s first single—down below. “Gasoline (All Rage Still Only Numb)” is one of the group’s heaviest releases to date, and it sets the tone for the new LP. With its hardcore breakdown, distorted guitars, and unrestrained screaming vocals, the song is a flaming message about complete annihilation with no remorse.
‘Gasoline’ is a song about hitting your breaking point and saying fuck everything. It’s about being wild and reckless, and giving into the impulse to burn it all down and start anew. – Ryan Phillips
“A.R.S.O.N.” is the next development of Story Of The Year’s distinctive sound and unvarnished, intimate lyrics, which have brought the band a devoted fan base throughout the world. “All Rage, Still Only Numb” is an acronym that translates the band’s signature energy into a potent examination of inner darkness, anxiety, and mental torment. A captivating, legendary aural trip through the struggle to survive this existence is provided by “A.R.S.O.N.” with a dynamic blend of contemporary post-hardcore, polished production, and hints to their emo beginnings.
In a lot of ways, ‘A.R.S.O.N.’ picks up where ‘Tear Me To Pieces‘ left off. We used the same team — Colin Brittain producing again, with the main objective of simply writing great songs. Nothing was forced, no trends were chased, it was simply about getting to the essence of what makes Story Of The Year sound like Story Of The Year: Big guitars, snappy drums, and Dan’s ability to seamlessly oscillate between screaming and singing songs about desperation, loss, and the complexity of relationships.
