The new album will soon be launched through a virtual launch extravaganza which will last for six weeks. Fans can attend the event with tickets, similar to a concert.
In their latest statement, the band informed that their fans can buy the tickets for the event to "unlock a six-week interactive experience – your direct access to limited merchandise and special editions of the new album, Scaled And Icy." 'Choker', the second track on the same album will debut during the event.

Release date
The album will debut virtually on May 21, 2021, but the second track 'Choker' will be launched way early on April 29, 2021. Fans with tickets can access the portal and listen to 'Choker' anytime.
Concept
'Scaled And Icy' is an 11-track record album primarily produced and written by Joseph. The singer composed the tracks at his home studio while he was forced to isolate during the pandemic. Meanwhile, his musical partner Dun synchronized the drums remotely from another part of the country and that was how the album eventually came together.
"‘Scaled And Icy’ is “the product of long-distance virtual sessions and finds the duo processing their upended routines along with the prevailing emotions of 2020 – anxiety, loneliness, boredom and doubt”, stated a press release.
How to live stream
Excited fans need not wait any longer as they can head to the live Twenty One Pilots website to book their tickets as soon as possible.
