FOOL THE MASSES release their new melancholic Metalcore single “Black Soul” exploring remorse and reckoning for past deeds

 

After FOOL THE MASSES caused quite a stir in the Metalcore scene a few weeks ago with the release of “Dream Talker” (https://youtu.be/ZBwvecF9H7A) on both Spotify and YouTube, the band is now following up with the second single taken from their album “It’s All Lost”, due out on June 7, 2024, via Dr. Music Records. “Black Soul”, thus the heavy-doomy ballad’s title, is about remorse and reckoning for past deeds. The track paints a vivid picture of a soul plagued by guilt, unable to escape the consequences of its actions, reminding us how important it is to make decisions you can be proud of and to live with a clear conscience. FOOL THE MASSES wraps this melancholic theme in a dark, sluggish sound, carried by the clear voice of Niklas Ratsch and skilfully staged in the accompanying epic music video, produced by Mike Fiße of CTG Studios (i.a. Persona, All Men Must Die). The five-piece band from Germany presents its musical definition of Industrial Metalcore, manifesting itself with impressive intensity on the second full-length album. From the start, an extraordinary puzzle of Hardcore, Metal and Techno was pieced together. Out of this crystallizes the impressively brute sound, featuring thrilling melodies and a red-hot cocktail that sticks in the head throughout the twelve songs of “It’s All Lost”. Soundwise, frontman Niklas Ratsch and his band alternate clean vocals with screams and brute shouts, paired with massive Metal riffs and rounded off by mechanical drum beats with loads of synthesizer sounds. Instead of a drummer, FOOL THE MASSES rely on Dutchman DJ Vornax, who provides the basis with his versatile Electro beats. Furthermore, lead guitarist Lea Karla engages in feisty duels with second guitarist Raphael Moujou. The hard-hitting Metalcore album was produced and mastered at Blackhole Music & Productions Studio by bassist Lucas Grünke, and the apocalyptic artwork was created by Kamil Wilde of Heart Taped Designs (i.a. Maelfoy, Alexis In Texas, Never Back Down). FOOL THE MASSES are enjoying a steadily growing fan base with their successful live shows throughout Germany, both furious and sweat-inducing, and the five band members are using their gigs’ energy to refine their sound further, which they consistently pursue with their dystopian masterpiece “It’s All Lost”. Until then, the new doomy Industrial Metalcore epic “Black Soul” and its music video with powerful shots from a desecrated church is a perfect further harbinger for the upcoming album: https://youtu.be/MDIf3NTSL_o
