Fall Out Boy have confirmed that their new album will be released early in the New Year, and have given fans a preview of what they can expect from the band's sixth LP.
The title track of American Beauty/American Psycho was given its premiere last night, and sees the band going in a seriously hard-rocking direction; or, as bassist Pete Wentz put it, "turning left when everyone expected us to turn right".
You can check out the new song below; the album will be hitting shelves on January 17.
Here's a Facebook statement from the band:
"the moment where a shadow lets you know where the sun was streaming in. the odd place where light and dark meet. there is a threshold. we all can feel it- it is something palpable... the idea that no matter how much an animal is domesticated- there is still something wild in it. declawed but we take/make the best monsters. we semi-civilize them. we put bears in suits on tricycles.
"we keep wolves warm from the winter in hen houses. then we wonder why they maul the hearts of what we hold the most dear. but make no mistake you brought them into your house and thought they could become a pet. we have infiltrated you. now we are inside you like a disease. this is a modern love story- coming together and unravelling all at once...."
