FOLLOWING THE SIGNS UNVEIL NEW SINGLE “STUCK IN PLACE”

 FIRST TASTE OF 2026 EP 'EVOLVE'

Irish nu-metalcore outfitFollowing The Signsreturn with their brand-new single “Stuck In Place”, the first official release from their forthcoming EP 'Evolve', to be released in 2026.

Formed in Cork, Ireland in 2018, the band have carved a reputation for blending crushing metalcore with the raw groove of nu-metal and progressive textures, as heard on their debut album Conflictions and subsequent singles Birthright and Stand Tall. Now, 'Stuck In Place'signals a new era for the band as they gear up for their most ambitious release to date.

Lyrically, 'Stuck In Place'is a fierce statement on the suffocating realities of modern life. Vocalist Alan Jevens explains: “When I wrote‘Stuck In Place’ I was thinking about the modern world, where we are now and what I believe is to come. The verses reflect the frustration of working endlessly just to survive in such an expensive time, while pointing to the corruption of governments and the consequences of unchecked greed.
The chorus speaks of what lies ahead, nuclear war, environmental collapse, but also the need to rise against those in power. The song travels through despair, rebellion, and the dream of a better world, tying into the broader narrative of our upcoming EP,Evolve.”

Musically, the track captures everything Following The Signsare about, massive riffs, towering breakdowns, searing screams and atmospheric cleans, all channelled into a visceral soundscape that reflects the chaos and hope within the lyrics.

The band will be bringing their new material to the stage with a string of live dates, including:
October 17th – Fibber Magees, Dublin
October 24th – Dali, Cork
November 8th – Scream for Me Festival, Cavan
November 15th – Pharmacia, Limerick
November 21st – Warsaw, Poland
November 22nd – Kraków, Poland

With 'Stuck In Place', Following The Signsprove they are not only one of Ireland’s most vital underground metal acts but a band with an urgent voice in today’s fractured world. Expect more details on the Evolve EP to be announced soon.
