On January 14, 2026- Story Of The Year released their new single “Disconnected” that is so cathartic in every aspect between the vocals and instrumentation. “Disconnected” has bold vocals that encapsulates the true meaning of wanting to be a better person, but during that process you fear of ending up alone. The single expresses loneliness and finally understanding that if you stay disconnected from everything around you that instead of moving forward; you stay stuck in the past
“‘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. 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!” – Ryan Phillips (Guitar)
