The Agony Scene has signed to Abacus Recordings. The band previously released The Darkest Red on Roadrunner and The Agony Scene released on Solid State. They had this to say about the signing, and progress towards their third album:

We are currently writing songs for our new album which should see a spring release in 2007 on Abacus Recordings. We have a few written so far and they're sounding great. We plan to hit the studio this fall so we can get this record out to you guys asap. We will also be announcing a new drummer in the next couple of weeks.

You can check out some of the band's material on their myspace page.
