Sleeping With Sirens Release Heaving New Single ‘Paralyzed’ Taken From Upcoming Album ‘An Ending In Itself’

Entering sharp new sonic terrain as they approach the release of their eighth studio album, emo-metalcore icons Sleeping With Sirens have stunned fans with a surprise drop of a brand new single Paralyzed, releasing the fresh track ahead of their upcoming new record An Ending In Itself, due out on June 12 via Rise Records.

Showcasing a powerful expansion on their trademark sound, Paralyzed finds Sleeping With Sirens leaning into their heavier roots without sacrificing their trademark modernity and flair. Fresh on the heels of previous single Forever/Always, Paralyzed showcases the band’s most crushing new entry to date from their forthcoming album, with caustic and palpitating verses, soaring choruses, and throwback alternative and metal nods that reflect an amalgamation of shared influences, as frontman Kellin Quinn elaborates, “Paralyzed is one of the heaviest songs on the new record. We had a blast making it and really leaned into the bands that shaped and inspired us growing up – artists like Thrice, The Used, and Haste The Day. It’s aggressive, emotional, and captures a side of us we’ve always loved exploring.”

Produced by Will Yip (Turnstile, Circa Survive, Movements), Paralyzed offers a towering peek further into what lies in wait on album #8 for Sleeping With Sirens, with the new record set act as both a homecoming and a reckoning for the band, reviving the restless spirit of their classic sound with the nuanced experience of recent years, and also marking their first album to be released with Rise Records since 2013’s Feel. Described by Kellin as both a culmination and a continuation, An Ending In Itself will also complete the recent emotional and thematic arc of How It Feels to Be Lost and Complete Collapse while reconnecting with the spirit that first propelled the band forward, capturing lightning in a bottle, Sleeping Sirens-style, like never before across the space of twelve tracks.

“It feels like a final chapter to the last couple of records,” Kellin shares “But it also has a lot of our second record, Let’s Cheers to This, in it. That energy where we weren’t trying to fit in anywhere and we just made the record we wanted to make.”

“A lot of what this record is about is not giving up hope,” adds Kellin, “and finding faith in the middle of hardships.”

Poised at the crossroads of post hardcore, pop and alternative rock, Sleeping With Sirens have spent fifteen years sharpening their signature sound, constantly stupefying airwaves and fans alongside releasing seven studio albums, one EP and one live album. With thousands of shows under their belts, Sleeping With Sirens have also become infamous for their future-forward perspective, as well as for their magnetic live performances and a deep connection with their audience that has catapulted the quintet into a generational global fixture.

A band now in command of gold and platinum certifications, chart success, millions of streams, sold out shows and a long-term commitment to trusting their intuition along the way, Sleeping With Sirens ultimately offer catharsis against the uncertainties of life, rallying with moments of calm and chaos armed with the urgency of punk, melodic ambition and vulnerability. Whether helping to define the early mid-2000s Warped Tour era or redefining new creative frontiers to this very day with long-time fans and an entire new surge of younger audiences in tow, Sleeping With Sirens are truly an immersive force to be reckoned with; and their most recent sonic outings further elevate the pursuit for meaning in a world gone mad.

The brand new release of surprise single Paralyzed is a resounding declaration of sonically transcending the past, present and future in a way only a band like Sleeping With Sirens can. A haymaker coated with raw emotion and oscillating dynamics, part confessional portal and instantly daring to become a fan-favourite, Paralyzed is another home-run primer ahead of the hotly-anticipated release of An Ending In Itself.

Paralyzed is out now.

An Ending In Itself is due out June 12.
