Belfast’s own heavy rock outfit ForeignWolf are back with a brand new EP, Merely Mortal, which is set to drop on Friday 3rd April. We had a chat with the rising quartet to get the lowdown on the themes and stories behind the tracks on this latest release.
Resolve
“Resolve” is about re-living the feeling of wanting to hold onto a connection despite knowing that it will inevitably end. It’s also about recognising that unless you acknowledge your own character traits that require growth, self-sabotage will eventually follow through falling into familiar negative patterns of behaviour.
Tyrant
“Tyrant” captures the tense dance between conscience and fear, revealing the inner dialogue that rises when emotions take control. The song follows the struggle to confront what terrifies us, exposing how easily those fears can consume us.
Hollow
“Hollow” dives into the chaos of emotional dependence, tracing the cycle of trying to connect, overstepping, and spiralling when left alone. Haunted by intrusive thoughts and a growing inner war, the song captures the feeling of slipping away and pleading for rescue as time fades and stability disappears.
Imposter Syndrome
This song is the band’s reflection on living with imposter syndrome – those quiet moments when doubt gets loud and you feel disconnected from your own life. It’s about fighting through the lies you tell yourself, the pressure to measure up, and the numbness that follows.
