Hawthorne Heights announces "Fragile Future" (on Victory!)

After plenty of drama and tragedy, Hawthorne Heights have confirmed earlier reports that they would be releasing their next album on Victory Records.

The album and band were held back for the past while due to suits and counter-suits launched by the band and label over the past twelve months. Label boss Tony Brummel commented:

Everyone at Victory is ecstatic about the forthcoming album from Hawthorne Heights. It is by far their best material to date. When Victory and Hawthorne started our relationship in 2003 it was always about beating the odds. Our country has just seen and experienced historic change with the Democratic nomination of Barack Obama. Everything happens for a reason and there is tremendous positivity in the air.

We have lived in a reality of petty disputes, unresolved misunderstandings, unhealthy friction and negative sensationalism for too long. Forgiveness and the ability to reunite are powerful gifts. They create a spirit. Couple that spirit with great music and you have something that is extraordinary and transcendental. You cannot change the past but you can affect the future. There is a bigger lesson and story here than just releasing a new album. Victory, and I know Hawthorne Heights, are thankful to be a part of that.

The record is titled Fragile Future and is due out August 05, 2008.
