Germany's FUTURE PALACE are thrilled to share the video for their dynamically different new single "SUPERNOVA." Watch it below.
Once again, the band proves that post-hardcore is not a label with limits but a space full of creative possibilities with this track. The band took some sonic chances and the result is nothing short of stunning.
"Musically, 'Supernova' was an experiment," explains guitarist Manuel Kohlert. "Writing the track started with an angelic voice sample that was heavily glitched with a program. The upbeat feeling and intensity breaks unusually, not into a heavy part but into an acoustic guitar bridge with sing-along type vocals. The outro features a groovy breakdown that closes the track with lots of energy. Compared to other Future Palace tracks, this one feels unusual at first, yet there still is a catchy chorus as most of the times."
Singer Maria Lessing concurs, saying, "'Supernova' is a really special and different song for us. Already, the instrumental had a very experimental energy when I listened to it for the first time, and I decided to lean even more into this energy while writing the vocals."
Pulling back the curtain on the powerful and relatable subject matter, Lessing continues, "Lyrically, the song talks about humans that act so heartless that they lose their human form and turn into a 'homunculus.' The world is currently in a very brutal state and it's hard to find hope in humanity a lot of times. It's hard to understand how so much anger and lack of empathy can be inside someone. The song is supposed to convey this really unsettling feeling and unhuman energy. Also the struggle of finding hope and being scared of losing that last spark of it."
Future Palace, whose lineup is rounded out by drummer Johannes Früchtenicht, embody the emotional highs and lows of human life through a constantly shifting artistic lens. Their songs delve deep into internal struggles and shed light on issues surrounding mental health, topics that remain far too stigmatized in modern society. Over the past years, Future Palace have become one of Europe's most exciting alternative metal acts, propelled by their intense live energy and a constantly growing international fanbase. Their recent North American tour marked their first major venture across the Atlantic, earning widespread praise and further expanding their global reach. In Europe, their latest headline tour set new milestones with numerous sold-out and upgraded shows across the continent. With a rapidly growing catalogue, rising streaming numbers, and a global fan community, Future Palace are entering their most ambitious era yet.
Future Palace will spend the bulk of 2026 touring, with festival appearances and a fall tour on deck. All dates are below, including a return to the U.S. to appear at the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville in September.
