FOLLOWING THE SIGNS Release New Single ‘Break The Frame’

Irish nu-metalcore contenders Following The Signs return today with their explosive new single, ‘Break The Frame’, the latest track to be unveiled from their forthcoming EP EVOLVE, set for release on March 20th.

Following on from the defiant charge of previous single ‘Call To Rise’, ‘Break The Frame’ pushes the band’s message even further — confronting restriction, expectation, and the invisible structures that confine identity and ambition. It’s a track rooted in defiance and personal awakening, calling on listeners to reject imposed limitations and carve out their own path, regardless of opposition.

Musically, ‘Break The Frame’ captures the full weight of Following The Signs evolved sound. Formed in Cork in 2018, the five-piece have built a reputation for combining groove-heavy nu-metal influences with the precision and aggression of modern metalcore. The new single delivers pummeling riffs, thunderous breakdowns, and soaring yet abrasive vocal dynamics, all underpinned by a sharpened sense of atmosphere and control. It’s direct, urgent, and unflinching.

Commenting on the track, the band says; “Break the frame is written with the idea of living in a simulation connected to a machine, the mainframe. The story is written about waking up from the mainframe due to a glitch. Upon waking you realise the simulated world is not what it seems, so you fight to break free from the mainframe to live in the real world.“

‘Break The Frame’ serves as a crucial piece of the narrative arc that defines ‘EVOLVE’, a five-track statement exploring survival, resistance, societal pressure, and transformation in an increasingly fractured world. Where ‘Call To Rise’ stood as a rallying cry against oppression, ‘Break The Frame‘ turns inward, challenging the psychological and structural barriers that prevent growth and change.

The forthcoming EP marks the band’s most cohesive and focused body of work to date. Following the impact of their debut album Conflictions and singles such as ‘Birthright’ and ‘Stand Tall’, ‘EVOLVE’ represents a significant step forward both sonically and conceptually. The record captures a band refining their identity while expanding their creative scope.

Recent live performances in Warsaw and Kraków, Poland, their largest international shows to date, have further demonstrated the band’s growing momentum beyond Ireland, solidifying their reputation as a rising force within the modern heavy music landscape.

With the release of ‘Break The Frame’ today and ‘EVOLVE’ landing on March 20th, Following The Signs continue to position themselves at the forefront of Ireland’s heavy scene — delivering music that is both ferocious in sound and fearless in message.
