SILENT RUNNING RETURN WITH NEW SINGLE \u2018BACK INTO THE FIRE\u2019 <\/strong><\/p>

New single released on all digital platforms today (9 October 2026)<\/strong><\/p>

First taste of the Belfast band\u2019s forthcoming sixth studio album<\/strong><\/p>

Belfast band Silent Running<\/strong> return with their new single \u2018Back Into the Fire\u2019<\/strong>, released across all major digital platforms on 9 October 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>

The track o;ers the first glimpse of the band\u2019s forthcoming sixth studio album<\/strong> and marks the beginning of the next chapter for a group whose story stretches from the post-punk and new wave landscape of 1980s Belfast to a renewed period of recording and live activity today.<\/p>

\u2018Back Into the Fire\u2019 is also the first Silent Running release to feature Stevie Prosser on keyboards<\/strong>, adding a new dimension to the band\u2019s established sound.<\/p>

A powerful, driving rock song with an unmistakably positive edge, \u2018Back Into the Fire\u2019 combines the widescreen, atmospheric sound that has long been a Silent Running trademark with the energy of a band very much focused on what comes next.<\/p>

Singer Peter Gamble<\/strong> says:<\/p>

\u201cThere\u2019s a real energy and positivity to \u2018Back Into the Fire\u2019. It\u2019s a driving rock song and, from the first time we played it together, it just felt like it had something. There\u2019s a sense of moving forward in the song \u2014 of taking whatever life throws at you and coming out the other side. It felt like the right track to introduce what we\u2019re doing with the new album.\u201d<\/p>

A story spanning more than four decades <\/strong><\/p>

Formed in Belfast, Silent Running emerged from Northern Ireland\u2019s vibrant early-1980s music scene and went on to sign with EMI<\/strong>, before later signing to Atlantic Records<\/strong>.<\/p>

The band released their debut album Shades of Liberty<\/em><\/strong> in 1984, followed by Walk on Fire<\/em><\/strong> in 1987 and Deep<\/em><\/strong> in 1989, building a following for their powerful, melodic sound and compelling live performances.<\/p>

Over the years, Silent Running have shared stages with artists including Simple Minds, Robert Palmer, Talk Talk, The Alarm and Stevie Van Zandt<\/strong>, while their music has continued to find new listeners long after the band\u2019s original 1980s run.<\/p>

After reuniting, Silent Running returned to the studio with Follow the Light<\/em><\/strong> in 2022, followed by their fifth studio album, NORTHSTAR<\/em><\/strong>, in 2025.<\/p>

Recent years have also seen the band back on major stages, including appearances alongside Simple Minds, Madness, Ocean Colour Scene and Texas<\/strong> in Belfast.<\/p>

Now, with \u2018Back Into the Fire\u2019, Silent Running begin the journey towards album number six.<\/p>

The current line-up features Peter Gamble<\/strong> (vocals\/rhythm guitar), Tony Scott<\/strong> (lead guitar\/backing vocals), Richard Collett<\/strong> (bass\/backing vocals), Gary Kirby<\/strong> (drums\/backing vocals) and Stevie Prosser<\/strong> (keyboards).<\/p>

Silent Running \u2014 Live in Belfast <\/strong><\/p>
