Following The Signs are back with a point to prove. The Cork-formed nu-metalcore five-piece have released their new single “Stuck In Place,” taken from their EP ‘Evolve,’ both out now. It’s the most focused and ambitious work they’ve put their name to, and the single delivers the volatile blend of crushing metalcore, nu-metal groove, and progressive elements they’ve been sharpening since 2018.
‘Evolve’ expands on themes of societal pressure, survival, and rebellion across five tracks, with “Call To Rise” serving as a rallying cry for those living under oppression, whether imposed by individuals, systems, or governments. Punishing riffs, towering breakdowns, and searing vocals are balanced by atmospheric moments that give the record genuine dynamic range. This isn’t a group content to stay in one lane.
Following The Signs have been building their international profile steadily, with recent live performances in Warsaw and Kraków playing to their largest audiences yet. The response outside Ireland confirms what the Cork scene has known for a while: this is a group with real reach, delivering sonic aggression alongside a message that travels.
‘Evolve’ is out now. Following The Signs are Alan Jevens on vocals, Noel Crowley and Vincent Renoux on guitars, Rory Taylor on bass, and Chris Hanlon on drums.
