Future Palace have built their identity around emotional pressure: Maria Lessing’s voice moving from vulnerable restraint to full-throated release while Manuel Kohlert and Johannes Früchtenicht surround her with metallic weight, electronic atmosphere, and sharp melodic contrasts. This restored A-to-Z catalog follows that progression from the band’s first Berlin recordings through Distortion, its official remixes and collaborations

Future Palace is a German rock band from Berlin consisting of vocalist Maria Lessing, guitarist Manuel Kohlert, and drummer Johannes Früchtenicht. The group came together at the end of 2018 after Kohlert and Früchtenicht, who had previously worked together, connected with Lessing when she recorded a guest appearance for their earlier project. A WhatsApp group named Future Palace eventually supplied the new band’s permanent name.
Future Palace released its first single, “Maybe,” in March 2019, followed by “Anomaly” that May. The trio played its first concerts in Berlin and Hamburg during the summer, beginning the live development of a sound that combined alternative rock, post-hardcore, synth-pop, and electronic production.
The band signed with Arising Empire in 2020 and announced the partnership alongside “Illusionist,” featuring Tobias Rische. Its debut album, Escape, arrived on September 18, 2020. Although the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the touring plans surrounding the release, songs including “Ghost Chapter,” “Lately,” and “Parted Ways” helped Future Palace reach listeners well beyond its home city.
“Paradise” opened the next album cycle in 2021. Future Palace released Run on June 10, 2022, and the record became the band’s first entry on the official German album chart, reaching number 82. “Heads Up,” “Flames,” “Defeating Gravity,” and “Dead Inside” pushed the group’s sound toward heavier post-hardcore while retaining its electronic and melodic foundation.
The third album, Distortion, followed on September 6, 2024. Its eleven songs addressed psychological pressure, depression, narcissism, and distorted self-perception through a more forceful alternative-metal sound. The record included “Malphas,” “Uncontrolled,” “The Echoes of Disparity” featuring Charlie Rolfe of As Everything Unfolds, “Dreamstate,” and “Decarabia,” and it reached number 32 on the German album chart.
After moving to Century Media Records, Future Palace began its next chapter with “Cyclone” in 2025 and continued with “Deep Blue,” “Supernova,” “Resurge,” and “Tidal Waves.” The band’s fourth album, Resurgence, is scheduled for July 31, 2026. Its twelve-song track list expands the catalog with “Disintegrate,” “The Shades,” “Nixy,” “Thorns,” “Ebb and Flow,” “Nightfall,” and “Symphony of the Clouds” alongside the previously released singles.
Future Palace’s songs are closely tied to Lessing’s writing about depression, toxic relationships, inner conflict, and recovery. That emotional directness is reinforced by the band’s visual work and live performances, where cinematic electronic passages can shift suddenly into breakdowns, screamed vocals, or large melodic choruses.
The list below includes the complete track programs of Escape, Run, Distortion, and the announced Resurgence album. It also preserves the official “Maybe – Stripped” recording, the standalone remixes of “Parted Ways” and “Dead Inside,” and the band’s credited appearance with Maria Lessing on Samurai Pizza Cats’ “Freakshow.”
