UPDATE give their songwriting more room to change shape on “Stuck,” their new single, available now on all streaming platforms. Following “Feel Me Burn,” the French modern metal quartet approach the release as an opportunity to develop more progressive arrangements and a broader dynamic range.
The announcement describes a writing process focused on movement and building momentum while preserving the intensity of “Feel Me Burn.” That balance between structural exploration and a familiar aggressive edge provides the musical context for “Stuck.”
UPDATE combine modern metal with the directness of 2000s alternative rock. Their influences include Linkin Park, Bring Me the Horizon, LANDMVRKS and early Muse; the announcement also lists Chevelle among its reference points for listeners.
The quartet write in French and English, exploring inner struggle, vulnerability and resilience. Their broader approach pairs aggression with melody, using synthesizer layers to add depth alongside dark atmospheres and shifts between tension and release. Emotion remains central to that sound, which the project aims to bring to audiences in France and internationally.
The press announcement also states that a new album is coming “next month,” without supplying its title or a specific release date.
