Green Day announces "epic as f**k" album trilogy

Following 2009's 21st Century Breakdown album, Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt have announced the aptly named albums ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré.

The first album will be released September 25, with the subsequent chapters coming out November 13 and January 15, 2013, all through Reprise Records.

The band is still completing the albums in Oakland, California.

They said in a statement, "We are at the most prolific and creative time in our lives.  This is the best music we've ever written, and the songs just keep coming.

"Instead of making one album, we are making a three album trilogy.  Every song has the power and energy that represents Green Day on all emotional levels.  We just can't help ourselves... We are going epic as fuck!"
