Sleeping With Sirens have released their new single “Paralyzed,” the latest track to be unveiled from their forthcoming eighth studio album An Ending In Itself, due out on 12th June 2026 via Rise Records. A visualizer has been released alongside the track, and pre-saves and pre-orders are open now.
“‘Paralyzed’ is one of the heaviest songs on the new record,” says vocalist Kellin Quinn. “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.”
An Ending In Itself was produced by Will Yip, whose credits include Turnstile, Circa Survive, and Movements. The record is described as both a homecoming and a reckoning, reviving the restless energy of the band’s classic sound while drawing on the experience gained through recent releases. Kellin describes the album as completing the emotional arc of How It Feels to Be Lost and Complete Collapse, while reconnecting with the spirit that first propelled the band forward.
It also marks the band’s first release with Rise Records since Feel, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. Earlier Rise releases include With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear and gold-certified Let’s Cheers to This, which spawned the platinum single “If You Can’t Hang.”
The lead single and title track, “An Ending In Itself”, has already attracted widespread praise from Rock Sound, Kerrang!, Alternative Press, and Dork. The band also performed it acoustically for the first time to fans in New York City alongside Subway Creatures, with the performance racking up millions of impressions across social media. Most recently, the band put out a raw, performance-driven music video for “Forever/Always”, a nostalgic, high-contrast visual set in an early spring forest that channels mid-2000s alternative and metal aesthetics.
Fans can get their hands on exclusive coloured vinyl with signed inserts, and a zine CD featuring 24 pages of behind-the-scenes photos and handwritten lyrics are available to pre-order now.
The 12-track album is listed in full below:
- An Ending In Itself

After fifteen years, seven studio albums, one EP, one live album, and thousands of shows, the band has built an enduring connection with their fanbase. The lineup currently comprises Kellin Quinn (vocals), Nick Martin (guitar), Justin Hills (bass), Matty Best (drums), and newest addition Tony Pizzuti (guitar). The group helped define the Warped Tour era of the early to mid-2000s and are now experiencing a renewed surge, with younger listeners discovering their back catalogue in numbers. It’s a far cry from their 2023 CtrlAltDel UK tour, which saw them hit venues across Bristol, Birmingham, London, Leeds, and Manchester with support from Static Dress and Charming Liars.
