Sleeping With Sirens are getting heavy on their new single, Paralyzed.

The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming album An Ending In Itself, which will arrive via Rise on June 12. It’s the third single to be released from the album after the title track and Forever/Always.

“Paralyzed is one of the heaviest songs on the new record,” shares 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.”

Vocalist Kellin Quinn told us last month that An Ending In Itself benefitted from the band purposely carving out more time to create it than they had on previous albums.

“We were playing a lot of shows off the last album, and we just wanted to take our time on this one. For us, getting in a room together and writing as a whole group of musicians was important. We have a new guitar player [Tony Pizzuti] that’s never written on a record before, so it was important for us to all figure out what this new era of Sleeping With Sirens is,” he said.

“A lot of people go in and make records in a couple of weeks nowadays, but for us, what’s worked best is writing songs and taking them home and seeing if we still like them within a couple weeks or a month of listening. There was a lot of demoing, a lot of rewrites. It took a little bit longer than expected but I’m not mad at that. I think the quality is a lot better because of it.”
