London-based alternative progressive rock band Temples on Mars are back with their brand-new single Safeword, the latest track from their upcoming full-length album The Last Ship, set for release on October 31 2025.
“We are over the moon to finally be back with our brand new single Safeword,” the band share. “This is our first release since July 2023, and we are very grateful to be able to return. We have had a lot going on outside of the band with births, family tragedy, illnesses, other projects etc, all on top of the realities of being in a small band in a highly competitive industry, so our timeline just kept moving back. Although lyrically the song is about having a safe word to make things stop, the reality is quite the opposite. Coming back with this single is a show of resilience, which is very much part of the Temples on Mars DNA. So many times, it would have been a lot easier to just walk away, but we have kept grinding. Musically, it is a new direction for Temples on Mars and leans towards the electronic side of our sound more so than the heavy.”
