The announcement is just in time for Vince’s performance at ComplexCon this Friday.

The album will follow up Big Fish Theory, which was critically acclaimed for the dark and raw emotions that he displayed. The album was a form of its own art.

We cannot wait for the new album, and we know it will not disappoint.
