Story Of The Year are back with a brand new single ‘Disconnected’. The song  comes as a second offering from their upcoming 8th studio album ‘A.R.S.O.N’, which will be out February 13th 2026 via SharpTone Records.

The new single ‘Disconnected’ is a vulnerable, no-holds-barred track that captures the frustration of wanting to get better without knowing where to start and resisting the urge to implode in loneliness. The track is accompanied by a music video that’s as visually captivating as it is moody, expertly capturing the head-spinning feeling of being caught between the desire to heal and the feeling of falling apart.

‘Disconnected’ is one of those songs that nicely encapsulates where we are creatively these days; Big anthemic vocals and massive guitar riffs over high energy drums.” explains guitarist Ryan Phillips. “When I showed Colin [Brittain] the original version of the song, he loved everything besides the main guitar riff I had at the time. One day by chance I played him a song that I had planned for a solo record. It was this long piano piece that slowly gained momentum and then finally exploded into this really heavy low tuned whammy bar riff. He stopped the song and said ‘Dude, that’s the riff we need. We have to use that as the main riff for “Disconnected”’ He cut it together and it worked perfectly. Sometimes that’s how it goes!
