The group's outing gets underway two days after the May 13 release of "Good Mourning," and non-stop touring is planned through late June. The trio will also warm up for the run with three late-April performances.

Group bassist Dan Andriano talked about finishing up the new album in a message that he posted on the band's website in late January.

"Today is January 31st, and it is the last day I will step into this studio for a long time," he said. "We have finished all the music, sounds, and singing...it's all done. It's kind of sad, I've spent a lot of time here recently, and we had a lot of fun making this record. I hope it shows when you listen to it."

"Good Mourning" is the follow-up to Alkaline Trio's 2001 release, "From here to Infirmary." The new set's track list is posted at Vagrant Records' website.
