The legendary alternative rock outfit Sleeping With Sirens has officially revealed that their highly anticipated new record, titled An Ending In Itself, is scheduled to arrive on 12th June 2026. This forthcoming project marks the band's eighth studio effort and features production by the acclaimed Will Yip, known for his work with Turnstile, Circa Survive, and Movements. The record functions as a powerful homecoming and a necessary reckoning for the group, effectively breathing new life into the restless energy of their vintage sound while incorporating the sophisticated perspective they have gained over the last several years.
To coincide with this major announcement, the band has premiered a visceral and performance-heavy music video for their latest single, “Forever/Always.” The visual aesthetic draws inspiration from the raw energy of mid-2000s alternative and metal media, merging nostalgic, high-contrast cinematography with a sharp, contemporary sensibility. Filmed within the depths of an early spring forest, the group’s minimalist performance creates a lingering and memory-soaked environment that perfectly complements the track.
Regarding the deeper meaning behind the music, vocalist Kellin Quinn explains the sentiment driving the lead single. “Forever/Always to me is a thank you to the person or the people in your life that are there for you in good and in challenging moments,” shares Kellin Quinn. “I’m thankful for the people I love, for my friendships, for the people that keep me grounded, for the people that lift me up. My hope is that this song brings you and your friends closer together.”
Building upon the momentum of the band’s previous works, Kellin Quinn characterizes An Ending In Itself as a dual force of culmination and continuation. The album serves to finalize the intense emotional and thematic narrative established through How It Feels to Be Lost and Complete Collapse, all while successfully bridging back to the raw, ambitious spirit that originally launched the band into the spotlight.
The record's debut single, also titled ‘An Ending In Itself,’ was unveiled last month and presents itself as a profound meditation on the complexities of navigating personal hardships. Quinn previously described the track as an intentional love letter dedicated to anyone currently enduring a difficult struggle, a message that resonated deeply and earned significant critical acclaim from major outlets such as Rock Sound, Kerrang!, Alternative Press, and Dork.
This upcoming collection consists of twelve unrelenting tracks, the titles of which are detailed in the list provided below:
An Ending In Itself
Forever/Always
God In My Head
Need You Here
Left On Repeat
House Of Matches
Waiting For You
Paralyzed
Process
PTSD
Looking Back At Me
Storm Clouds
Fueled by a potent blend of raw angst and massive, soaring melodies, this upcoming album represents a significant milestone as the band's first release under Rise Records since their effort Feel, which famously debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. Their storied history with the label also includes earlier foundational releases like With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear and the gold-certified Let’s Cheers to This, the latter of which spawned the massive, platinum-certified hit single ‘If You Can’t Hang.’
Across a career spanning fifteen years, seven studio albums, a standalone EP, a live record, and thousands of live appearances, the group has cultivated an unbreakable bond with their listeners. They consistently attract a deeply devoted fanbase by delivering high-energy performances that highlight their entirely unique trajectory within the modern alternative rock landscape. After helping to define the sound and culture of the Warped Tour era during the early to mid-aughts, the band is currently enjoying a powerful resurgence as a new generation of younger listeners discovers the depth of their catalog for the first time.
The current lineup, comprising Kellin Quinn on vocals, Nick Martin on guitar, Justin Hills on bass, Matty Best on drums, and their newest member, guitarist Tony Pizzuti, remains dedicated to refining their signature sonic identity while fearlessly venturing into unexplored creative territories. This forward-thinking mentality, paired with a profound and enduring relationship with their audience, has firmly established Sleeping With Sirens as a household name that continues to be more relevant today than ever before.
