German post-hardcore trio Future Palace have released a video for their new single 'Defeating Gravity', a sonic blend of emo and post-hardcore, melody and brute force, impetus and vulnerability. The track is another glimpse into their upcoming sophomore album Run, due for release on 10th June 2022 via Arising Empire.

Knowing when something is no longer possible: For many years, the number of people suffering from burnout or depression has been steadily increasing in Germany. The speed of life seems to be getting faster and faster. This makes some all the more reluctant to show weakness. Therefore, it seems more appropriate than ever, that Future Palace wrote a song about accepting one's own weaknesses in the face of this zeitgeist.

Vocalist Maria comments:

"As the name of the single suggests, 'Defeating Gravity' is about wanting to defeat something that seems invincible. So often life takes you to the edge of the abyss, but you try never to fall. Too often, in your stubbornness and ignorance, you forget that you are only human. 'Defeating Gravity' focuses on accepting your own limitations and weaknesses after you've pushed them aside for too long."

For the first time, Future Palace collaborated with Peter Leukhardt (Annisokay, Beyond The Black and Rising Insane) to record the music video for 'Defeating Gravity'. The video was shot in the hall of the band's rehearsal house, capturing Maria levitating over a truss. Analogous to the song title, sometimes it's good to be above things.

One of the most aspiring post-hardcore acts in Germany, Future Palace signed to Arising Empire to release their debut album Escape in 2020, which garnered several million streams across streaming platforms.

Future Palace's sophomore album Run was produced by Julian Breucker (Beyond The Black) and mixed/mastered by Annisokay guitarist Christoph Wieczorek. Run explores the fight with one's own demons, the aftermath of a toxic relationship, and how the struggle with your own salvation is only the beginning, even after escaping from a dramatic situation. Blending the rawness of Holding Absence, Spiritbox and While She Sleeps with the irresistible, sweeping sounds of Bring Me The Horizon and PVRIS, the visually stunning and vulnerable record sets these painful processes to atmospheric post-hardcore, portraying the ups and downs of emotion.

Future Palace are currently on their first ever headline tour across Germany, before embarking on two massive European tours with Annisokay in May and Battle Beast in August and September. Full dates here: https://future-palace.com/#tourdates
