Future Palace‘s fourth studio album “Resurgence” arrived this past Friday, July 31st via Century Media. Just days afterward, the German alternative metal band have now issued the below performance-based music video for their track “Nixy” from it. That video compiles footage from the band’s sets at this year’s ‘Wacken Open Air‘, ‘Vainstream Rockfest‘, ‘Nova Rock‘ and ‘Impericon‘ festival stops.
Guitarist Manual Kohlert commented of the track itself:
“‘Nixy‘ stands out because it focuses on riffs and has an upbeat chorus, which makes the song deliver a unique tension. Playing it feels like a rollercoaster ride that is over way too quick.”
Vocalist Maria Lessing dug into the song’s meaning, offering:
“‘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.”
