Story Of The Year have premiered a new video for their song “See Through.” That track is from their latest album “A.R.S.O.N.” (“All Rage, Still Only Numb”). The following was said about the video:
“The music video for ‘See Through,’ directed by Jordan Phoenix, transports Story Of The Year to a mysterious laboratory, where frontman Dan Marsala takes on the role of a mad scientist determined to create his dream girl. But when the experiment takes an unexpected turn, his creation quickly descends into chaos. Quoting Gary Wallace in Weird Science, the band says, ‘Making a girl. Actually making a girl. Like Frankenstein…except cuter.’”
As previously reported, former GWAR vocalist Chuck “The Sexecutioner” Varga recently passed away following a battle with cancer. Now, the band have shared a new tribute for their late bandmate.

The group said the following:
“There are some losses that hit harder than others. The world lost Chuck Varga a few days ago, and GWAR lost one of its own.
Chuck was the Sexecutioner and was one of the founding members of GWAR. He was there when this strange, disgusting, beautiful thing was being born, helping create the world that would become GWAR.
As Sexecutioner, Chuck brought an unforgettable presence to the stage and helped establish the larger-than-life mythology, chaos and depravity that would come to define the band. As one of the visual artists his illustrations and costume design helped establish GWAR’s distinct visual style. He was there at the beginning, and even before when GWAR was struggling to establish what it was going to become. Chuck went on to excel with his scenic artistic talents in movies, theatre and other visual mediums. Sadly, now the Sexecutioner has gone back home to reunite with his Scumdog Brethren Oderus Urungus and Flattus Maximus.
For those of us who knew Chuck, he was more than a character in a monster suit, he was an artist, a vocalist, a true performer and most importantly a brother to everyone in the band. He was one of the people who helped make GWAR possible.
Our hearts go out to Chuck’s loving wife Bambi, his family, his friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Hail Sexecutioner!
Hail Chuck Varga!”
