Irish nu-metalcore outfit Following The Signs return with 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 has 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 InPlace‘ signals a new era for the band as they gear up for their most ambitious release to date.
Lyrically, ‘Stuck In Place’ is said to be a fierce statement on the suffocating realities of modern life. Vocalist Alan Jevens explained: “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.”
