From Upcoming Studio Album Rise Of The Ruler

This summer, on August 22nd, North German power metal collective MOB RULES returns with their new studio offering, entitled Rise Of The Ruler, that is slated for a release via ROAR.

The follow-up to 2018's successful album Beast Reborn (which reached a sensational #37 in the German and #59 in the Swiss album charts) is not only a work brimming with creativity, wit and quality, but also the conceptual continuation of their two early albums Savage Land (1999) and Temple Of Two Suns (2000), with which MOB RULES laid the foundation for their career. Both albums are linked by an exciting concept story about life in a dystopian, hostile end-time world in which resources are becoming scarce. This is exactly where the band's new offering Rise Of The Ruler comes in and keyboardist Jan Christian Halfbrodt (who is responsible for all the lyrics) continues the thread.

In addition to the eleven-track standard album (available as CD digipak and colored vinyl), MOB RULES have also been working on a very special fan item over the last few months: The limited earbook edition of Rise Of The Ruler comes with an exclusive bonus CD containing five additional, brand new songs, as well as a spoken version of the concept story, an alternative version of "Dawn Of Second Sun" and the two video clips for "Back To Savage Land" and "Dawn Of Second Sun"! The large-format, hardcover book-style 48-page earbook extensively documents the creation of the album, video shoot, photo shoot and provides insights into the concept story.

Following the previously-released first single, "Back To Savage Land", today, MOB RULES are presenting a music video for their latest album appetizer, the enthralling new single "Future Loom"!

""Future Loom" is a fast yet very melodic song that breathes the spirit of old HELLOWEEN compositions," says singer Klaus Dirks. "Lyrically, "Future Loom" accompanies the main character of our concept story, the young temple guardian Dendayar, who stands up against the increasingly tyrannical ruler and transforms from doubter into the new leader."

Stream "Future Loom", out now on all digital services, on: https://mobrules.rpm.link/futureloomPR

The new MOB RULES video clip is premiering BELOW.

Once again Rise Of The Ruler was mixed and mastered by the experienced hands of Markus Teske (Vanden Plas, The New Roses). After "My Sobriety Mind" (from the Beast Reborn album), MOB RULES also collaborated again with singer Ulli Perhonen (Snow White Blood), which is reflected in the beautiful duet of the song "On The Trail".

The visual design was created by French cover artist Stan W. Decker (Masterplan, Primal Fear), who perfectly staged the post-apocalyptic scenery of Rise Of The Ruler.

After Beast Reborn (2018), the live album Beast Over Europe (2019) and the anniversary compilation Celebration Days - 30 Years Of Mob Rules released in 2024, the Northern Lights are finally back with a powerful new studio album that marks another milestone in their extensive career!
