Belfast heavy rock four piece Foreignwolf announce the arrival of their new EP ‘Merely Mortal’ on April 3, 2026. The band consists of vocalist and guitarist Gerard McCann, lead guitarist Dave Brady, bassist Conor Forbes, and drummer Max Couhig. This upcoming release follows the debut of their new single and video “Imposter Syndrome” which is available now. The group continues to build momentum within the rock and metal scene through honest lyrics and powerful vocal delivery.
The new record serves as a breath-taking step forward for the heavy metal outfit. These tracks utilize massive riffs and strong hooks that maintain a sharp emotional core throughout the listening experience. Foreignwolf draws on a specific blend of melody and substance to create a sound that feels deeply personal. Their music earns support from major outlets including BBC Radio One and Sirius XM as they expand their reach across the UK.
The band describes the collection as an exploration of the parts of being human that people often avoid discussing. This EP looks at self-doubt, fear, emotional dependency, and the connections people struggle to let go of. The members share a desire to capture the feeling of trying to grow while still feeling fragile and imperfect. Their close-knit dynamic informs the raw energy found in the new recordings and upcoming live performances.
Foreignwolf prepares for a massive period of activity involving new music and videos. ‘Merely Mortal’ arrives as a significant milestone for the group since their formation in 2019. The band members focus on delivering a heavy sound influenced by the likes of Deftones and Alter Bridge. This release signals a new chapter for the Belfast musicians as they bring their signature energy to a wider audience.
