Following The Signs release new single 'Call To Rise' • GRIMM Gent

Irish nu-metalcore outfit Following The Signs return with their commanding new single “Call To Rise”, taken from their forthcoming EP ‘EVOLVE’, set for release on March 20th.

A fierce statement of resistance and self-belief, ‘Call To Rise’ was written as a rallying cry for those living under oppression, whether imposed by individuals, systems, or governments. The track urges listeners to rise up and fight for what they believe is worth defending, a message that sits at the heart of EVOLVE. The song can be interpreted through two complementary lenses. One frames the struggle of humanity fighting to survive in a hostile, ever-threatening world. The other reflects the growing unrest of modern society, where corruption, abuse of power, and erosion of freedom point towards an inevitable uprising against authority.

Musically, ‘Call To Rise’ delivers the sound Following The Signs have honed since forming in Cork, Ireland, in 2018, a volatile blend of crushing metalcore, nu-metal groove, and progressive elements. Punishing riffs, towering breakdowns, and searing vocals are balanced by atmospheric moments that mirror both the fury and determination within the lyrics.

Following the release of their debut album Conflictions and singles such as Birthright and Stand Tall, EVOLVE represents the band’s most focused and ambitious work to date. The EP expands on themes of societal pressure, survival, and rebellion, positioning Following The Signs as a band unafraid to confront the realities of the modern world.

The band’s growing international profile has been reinforced by recent live performances outside Ireland, including shows in Warsaw and Kraków, Poland, where they played to their largest audiences so far, a clear signal of their increasing impact beyond their home scene.

With ‘Call To Rise’ and the forthcoming release of ‘EVOLVE’ on March 20th, Following The Signs continue to establish themselves as a rising force in modern heavy music, delivering both sonic aggression and a message that resonates far beyond borders.
