New music from Dropkick Murphys is headed our way. The band will release Signed and Sealed in Blood , the follow-up to 2011’s Going Out in Style , in early 2013.

"We had such a great time writing our last album, Going Out in Style , we were excited to get back into the studio right away," said bassist and co-lead singer Ken Casey in a statement. "Where Going Out in Style was a concept album-kind of intricate and difficult, this one is catchy, fun, and as sing-along as can be."

In addition, The Murphys have also released the album's artwork, which features a red rose in the middle of a black-and-white crest. The band is asking that their die-hard fans take photos and videos of themselves getting a tattoo of the album’s artwork before September 19, so they can use them in an upcoming video for their single, “Rose Tattoo,” and for the forthcoming album’s packaging.
