It's been four years since Complete Collapse, and Sleeping With Sirens are ready to close another chapter — and open a new one with the announcement of An Ending In Itself, their eighth studio album. It's due June 12 on Rise Records, marking a homecoming to the label that first signed them back in 2010.
The band unveiled the record alongside a new single, "Forever/Always," which arrives with an official music video. The song follows the title track — released back in March as the album's lead single — and the two together paint a fairly clear picture of where Kellin Quinn and company are landing in 2026: emotionally direct, rooted in connection, with a sincerity that could feel unfashionable if they weren't so good at it.
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. 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.
The album was produced by Will Yip — whose recent CV includes Turnstile's Glow On, Circa Survive, and Movements — which is a genuinely encouraging sign. Yip is one of the best ears working in this corner of the rock world, and his ability to balance emotional weight with sonics that hit properly makes him a natural fit for the kind of record Sleeping With Sirens seem to be aiming for here.
An Ending In Itself clocks in at twelve tracks, with a full tracklist that suggests a proper album — not a collection of singles padded out with fillers. Titles like "God In My Head," "House Of Matches," and "PTSD" sit alongside the more hopeful-sounding "Need You Here" and "Waiting For You," which tracks with Quinn's framing of the record as something anchored in gratitude and relationships.
For fans who followed Complete Collapse (and the years of lineup upheaval before it), this feels like a band that's figured out what they want to say again. The Rise Records return, the Will Yip credit, the back-to-basics emotional directness — it all points somewhere worth paying attention to.
An Ending In Itself is out June 12.
