Today, Metalville announces January 16th, 2026 as the international release date for SOULBOUND's new studio album sYn.

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.
