After releasing a series of singles, including "Centuries" and the Big Hero 6 track "Immortals," the inevitable has happened: Fall Out Boy has announced a new album. Today (Nov. 24), the Chicago rock band revealed that it will be dropping its sixth studio album American Beauty/American Psycho at the top of the new year.

According to a blog post on Fall Out Boy's Tumblr, American Beauty/American Psycho (shortened to AB/AP) will be released on Jan. 20, 2015 via DCD2/Island Records.

"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," the band wrote about its new single and album, which is seemingly names after two classic 2000s films. "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..."

The album announcement came shortly after Fall Out Boy debuted a new single, also called "American Beauty/American Psycho" on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show. "American Beauty/American Psycho" will be the next single from FOB's new album and will officially be released on Monday, Dec. 8.

American Beauty/American Psycho will be available for pre-sale beginning Dec. 15, with the band promising multiple pre-emptive downloads before the record actually drops.

American Beauty/American Psycho is Fall Out Boy's sixth studio album and its second since returning from a hiatus last year. Fall Out Boy last released Save Rock & Roll in April 2013.
