Soulbound release the new single "sYn".

With "sYn", SOULBOUND deliver a relentless opening to their new studio album. The track is anything but comfortable: loud, furious, and almost liturgical in its intensity. Blending heavy riffs, dark synths, and industrial elements, the band forges a sound that merges NDH, alternative metal, and electronic pathos, and makes a clear statement.

Lyrically, "sYn" explores the modern idea of sin, not as a religious dogma, but as a reflection of societal responsibility. It confronts guilt, denial, and moral hypocrisy, a scream against a world that prefers silence over truth.

“What if guilt doesn’t come from religion, but from everything we ignore?”, the band asks. “sYn” is their reckoning with inner darkness. Raw, direct, and unapologetic.

Following their last album "obsYdian", which reached #12 on the German album charts, and a successful headlining tour, SOULBOUND return with "sYn" to show they’re not here to meet expectations, they’re here to break them.

With "sYn" SOULBOUND present their most uncompromising work to date. The melodic industrial metal band's fourth studio album strikes a dark, direct tone and remains as catchy as it is uncomfortable. Between brutal self-reckoning, social criticism and sacred exaltation, "sYn" spins a dense thematic thread around the central motif of sin - rethought, interpreted in many different ways and bitterly personal.

Musically, the band remains true to itself: "sYn" combines hard riffs, brute synths, pounding beats and anthemic choruses. Somewhere between NDH, metalcore and electronically distorted world pain. But instead of bold provocation, it's about attitude. It's about admitting to being fallible. About contradicting dogmas and wrestling with one's own precipice.

“If we're considered sinners, might as well be it with purpose and flair!”, says the band. This is exactly how sYn sounds: raw, honest, angry, but also vulnerable. An album like a mirror that doesn't embellish, but confronts. No pure accusations, but an outcry. Not enlightenment, but flames in which you stand.

"sYn" was recorded and produced entirely by the band themselves.
