Story Of The Year releases their new single, Disconnected. The track is the second offering from their upcoming 8th studio album release, A.R.S.O.N., out everywhere February 13, 2026 via SharpTone Records.
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. Cathartic screams, punchy guitars and massive drums drive the song’s intensity as frontman Dan Marsala confesses, “I’m sick of being disconnected from everything I need.” The music video is a moody, visually captivating accompaniment that captures 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 & 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!”
