New Release From PLUME

PLUME SHARE "ANGEL ENGINE" VIDEO.

SAFEROOMS & HEALING FREQUENCIES OUT SEPTEMBER 25

With "Angel Engine," rising alternative heavy act PLUME dive deep into paranoia, fractured memories and the desperate search for something to hold onto in the middle of emotional collapse. Blending dark emo and metalcore with hyperpop tension, trance-like build ups and massive modern production, the track creates a hypnotic atmosphere that feels both haunting and strangely euphoric.

Driven by eerie imagery and emotionally charged songwriting, "Angel Engine" explores themes of control, fear and the blurred line between salvation and destruction. Lyrics about watching eyes, shifting realities and fading identity paint the picture of a mind slowly unraveling, while the recurring plea for guidance from angelic figures like Uriel and Cassiel adds an almost spiritual weight to the song’s emotional core. Rather than offering clarity, PLUME embrace the chaos — transforming anxiety and vulnerability into something cinematic, immersive and impossible to look away from.

As the tension builds through shimmering electronics, crushing guitars and restless rhythms, the track erupts into a massive, unforgettable chorus carried by stunning vocal performances that linger long after the song ends. Equal parts intimate and explosive, "Angel Engine" perfectly captures PLUME's ability to merge emotional heaviness with forward-thinking alternative production.

At the same time, PLUME officially announce their upcoming album Saferooms & Healing Frequencies, set for release on September 25. 

With "Angel Engine" serving as a powerful glimpse into the record's emotional and sonic world, the band also launch the album's pre-order starting now.

With rapidly growing streaming numbers and increasing buzz throughout alternative and heavy music scenes, PLUME continue to establish themselves as one of the most exciting new acts pushing modern heavy music into bold new territory. "Angel Engine" is dark, hypnotic, and emotionally overwhelming — a modern anthem built to stay stuck in your head long after the final chorus fades.

Plume Dros Brand New Single "Furious Icon"

There's a certain kind of momentum you don't fake, and right now, PLUME are moving like a band that's already outgrown the room.

With their new single "Furious Icon," the rising emo force sharpen their edges and lean further into the tension that's been building across their previous releases. Where earlier tracks hinted at their range, this one locks in — urgent, restless, and wired with the kind of energy that feels one step away from spiraling out. 

Watch the video below:

PLUME's recent singles didn't just introduce them; they established a pattern. Each drop pushed a little further, sonically and visually, pulling more people into their orbit, without ever feeling calculated. That same instinct carries through "Furious Icon" — controlled chaos with intent behind it.

There's no attempt here to smooth things out or play it safe. The track thrives on contrast: jagged and melodic, immediate but layered enough to keep revealing new details on repeat listens. It's the sound of a band figuring out exactly how far they can push their identity — and then going past it anyway.

If the earlier singles were the signal, "Furious Icon" is the confirmation. Plume aren't arriving quietly — and they're definitely not slowing down.

Plume Release "!REAL SPIRIT!" Video

PLUME don’t ease into a release — they make an entrance you can't ignore.

With "!REAL SPIRIT! Caught On Tape," the emo/alternative force push things further into their own lane — raw, unfiltered, and wired with a kind of restless energy that refuses to sit still. It's chaotic in the right places, intentional where it needs to be, and carried by a pulse that feels more like a moment than just a song.

Following the impact of their previous release "Digital Waterboarding," the band double down on everything that made people pay attention in the first place — but sharper, louder, and more defined.

Freshly signed to Arising Empire, PLUME aren't here to follow what's already happening around them. There's a new wave forming — rougher around the edges, more expressive, less predictable — and "!REAL SPIRIT! Caught On Tape" sits right at the center of it. Not by calculation, but by instinct.

Blending emo sensibilities with alternative grit and a visual identity shaped by distortion, nostalgia and digital overload, the band create something that feels immediate and alive. It’s not polished for comfort — it's built to leave a mark.

PLUME are stepping in at full speed.

And this is only the first signal.

ARISING EMPIRE WELCOMES PLUME NEW SINGLE "DIGITAL WATERBOARDING" OUT NOW

Arising Empire proudly welcomes one of Germany's most exciting new acts to the roster: PLUME. The band marks the beginning of this new chapter with the release of their striking new single "Digital Waterboarding" — a bold statement that immediately places them at the forefront of a new wave of alternative music.

PLUME are what happens when pop stops being afraid of dirt, when glitter doesn't have to be soft anymore and nostalgia grows a futuristic backbone. Their sound exists in constant transformation: distorted textures collide with shimmering synths, fractured rhythms and an uncompromising urge to surprise. At the core lies pop — but never predictable. Electronic, yet raw in expression. Catchy, yet never comfortable.

Fronted by vocalist Pascal Pashaee, alongside guitarist David Riederer, keyboardist Luka Lorch, and drummer Richard Kilian, the German quartet arrives with a vision that feels both chaotic and meticulously crafted. Their single "Digital Waterboarding" is a sonically and visually overwhelming experience that captures the unsettling reality of modern digital life.

Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Manuel Renner at überlärm Studios — known for his work with artists such as Electric Callboy, Avralize and Our Promise — the track pushes the boundaries of modern heavy music. PLUME fearlessly weave infectious pop sensibilities into an avant-garde landscape of aggression and electronic experimentation.
 
Early reactions already underline the band’s uniqueness. Paranoyd Magazine describes their work as "an atmospheric experience that gets under your skin," while MoreCore highlights PLUME’s ability to define a style entirely their own.
By blending high-fashion aesthetics with a sound that gives digital anxiety a physical form, PLUME are not reviving rock music as an echo of the past — they are dragging it straight into the present.

With "Digital Waterboarding," PLUME make one thing clear: This is only the beginning.
