Story Of The Year announce The Black Swan album, UK tour dates

Missouri alt-metal outfit Story Of The Year will be touring the UK in May in the wake of an invasion by their new album, The Black Swan.

The Black Swan will be Story Of the Year’s third full-length offering, and frontman Dan Marsala seems pretty stoked with it:

“Making this record felt like starting over. We’re like a brand new band. You can hear it in these songs, we’re excited again. I think we’ve really stepped it up on this record.”

Well, there you have it. The Black Swan will be released on 21st April, and the band hit British soil about a month later. You can catch Story Of The Year at the following venues:

• 20 May - London, Mean Fiddler
• 21 May - Birmingham, Academy 2
• 22 May - Manchester, Academy 2
• 23 May - Glasgow, QMU
• 25 May - Leeds , Slam-dunk Festival

If you’re wondering what they sound like, you can check some tunes out on their MySpace - where you’ll find “Wake Up”, which will be the first single from The Black Swan, among other tunes and snippets from the album. There’s a proper Story Of The Year website for grown-ups, too.
