Ahead of the February 13 release of their new album A.R.S.O.N., Story Of The Year is back with a track from the forthcoming LP, “Disconnected.” The offering is preceded by the lead single, “Gasoline (All Rage Still Only Numb).”
Guitarist Ryan Phillips says, “‘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. When I showed Colin [Brittain] the original version of the song, he loved everything besides the main guitar riff I had at the time.”
He continues, “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!”
