Future Palace is "Uncontrolled"

On Thursday April 4th, Future Palace dropped their latest music video for single Uncontrolled via Arising Empire. When our entire existence demands control – it seems all the more shocking when the feeling of self-control suddenly seems to disappear. With this single, they set exactly this almost unbearable state of a slipping self to music and rely on some of the most powerful sonic contrasts that they have ever unleashed in their entire discography. With power vocals and energetic instrumentals with a helluva breakdown to match makes this a MUST listen to.
In their most epoch-making moments, the band glides into arrangements with immensely great vocal gestures, only to plunge into perhaps the dirtiest screams that singer Maria Lessing has ever uttered in the very next moment. The band is continuing a development that already began on their second album Run and with their last single "Malphas." Musically, Future Palace have now come shockingly close to the unpredictability and brutality of the dramatic themes that have always occupied them.
The loss of control in the title primarily relates to one’s own mental health and one’s own decision-making ability. You can no longer manage to get up in the morning and have to constantly regain your strength. You can no longer manage to meet deadlines or function at all. 'Uncontrolled' represents what it feels like when everything falls apart and seems hopeless.

"Uncontrolled" was created in 2022 and was written almost at the same time as the song "Malphas," which not only has a similarly heavy musical tone as the new single, but also lyrically speaks of a struggle with oneself. The words with which singer Maria Lessing describes the experiences that gave rise to "Uncontrolled" also sound correspondingly agitated. This first new material in almost a year. Last fall, the band played in several cities across Europe on their biggest headline tour to date, many of the shows were sold out. The music video for the new song, which was shot in Riga, Latvia, was again shot by Pavel Trebukhin, with whom the band has been working for a long time and who has already produced clips for big names such as Landmvrks, Imminence and Trivium.
