FUTURE PALACE: Maria Lessing Talks Good Things Festival, Resurgence & Vocal Tips

Berlin’s Future Palace have quickly become one of the most exciting names in modern alternative metal, blending crushing heaviness, cinematic electronics and raw emotional intensity. Following the release of their new album Resurgence via Century Media Records, the trio are set to make their Australian debut at Good Things Festival with Limp Bizkit, Simple Plan, Spiritbox and more this December!

The Everblack Podcast spoke with vocalist Maria Lessing about bringing Future Palace to Australia for the first time, Resurgence, taking the new songs to the stage, protecting her voice, and the early 2000s emo and nu-metal influences that helped shape her journey as a vocalist

At the heart of Future Palace’s songwriting is an honest exploration of mental health, personal struggle and resilience. Their songs confront topics that remain heavily stigmatized, connecting with a rapidly growing international audience through authenticity and emotional depth.

Over the past few years, Future Palace have built a reputation as an exceptional live band. They have performed at some of Europe’s biggest festivals, including Wacken Open Air, Graspop Metal Meeting, Hellfest and Rock am Ring, while also completing their first successful North American tour. Their headline shows continue to grow in size, with many dates selling out across Europe as their fanbase expands worldwide.

On July 31, Future Palace released their highly anticipated new album Resurgence via Century Media Records. The album marks a bold new chapter for the band, showcasing their most refined and ambitious work to date while further expanding the boundaries of their sound.

At the end of 2026, Future Palace will embark on the Deep Blue Tour, their biggest headline tour so far. With several of the first announced shows already sold out, the tour reflects the band’s continued rise and the growing demand for their electrifying live performances. With Resurgence, an ever expanding global audience and unstoppable momentum, Future Palace continue to establish themselves as one of the defining bands of the new generation of heavy music.
