FUTURE PALACE RELEASE “NIXY” VIDEO — WATCH

NEW ALBUM RESURGENCE OUT NOW VIA CENTURY MEDIA

Germany’s FUTURE PALACE unleashed their fourth album RESURGENCE on July 31 via Century Media. Listen and get it here.

The album is a powerful exploration of isolation, inner conflict, and the struggle to rebuild oneself. Blending post-hardcore intensity with cinematic electronics, soaring melodies, and crushing breakdowns, the Berlin trio dives deep into themes of depression, doubt, and emotional transformation. Ultimately, Resurgence captures the fragile moment where despair slowly turns into strength — and is proof of the redemptive power of music.

Today, they release the video for “Nixy.” Watch it here.

“‘Nixy’ stands out because it focuses on riffs and has an upbeat chorus, which makes the song deliver a unique tension,” says guitarist Manuel Kohlert. “Playing it feels like a rollercoaster ride that is over way too quick.”

Vocalist Maria Lessing states, “‘Nixy’ is also a critique to the common phrase: Separate art from the artist.’ I think this is ignorance, especially if you translate it to other systems of the world. We should not separate the behavior from a person from what they also create. We should not only see want we want to see, just so we can keep consuming and ignore all the bad parts about it. Music and also the world should be a safe space for everyone. And for gaining safety for everyone, we sometimes need to see the uncomfortable truth and also be responsible for our actions.”Regarding the album as a whole, Lessing says, “After going through many challenges in life, and even writing three albums about deeply personal and traumatic experiences, I oftentimes crave an end of suffering, a new beginning, a new version of myself and my life. Sometimes you need to imagine a  different version of yourself, a stronger one, to find hope and keep going. The idea of a rebirth has come to my mind quite often. What would life be like? Who would we choose to become, after everything that we have learned so far?

“It’s also a process of healing, facing old painful wounds, releasing anger, finding love and finally also seeing hope in the future. I feel like that is a very leading theme in our band history and also connects all of our past work.”

From Kohlert’s perspective, the album also represents a sonic newness. He offers, “One of my main goals with this album was to try to incorporate new styles (acoustic guitars, more industrial elements, ambient layers) and to make a consistent album that combines them with the best aspects of our earlier releases — keeping up the level of energy when needed, enjoying the lushness of harmonies and melodies or just letting go. Resurgence is definitely more defined and refined than what we did before — we always experimented, but this time it finally really all fits together.”
