SYNLAKROSS
has released single/video
‘Freak’
SynlakrosS has released their new single/music video called ‘Freak‘, included in their new album ‘Mental Parasites’ that will be released on October 3rd.
The band states:
“‘Freak’ denounces harassment, bullying and all types of discrimination and hatred. Insults are reappropriated and reinterpreted as a form of rebellion and empowerment. It’s a celebration of what makes us ‘weird’, different and special.”
This is a song for the outcasts, for the people perpetually living on the fringes of a society that doesn’t even try to understand them, for the Freaks…
“I’m a freak forever, from the cradle to the grave…”

Mark Waight from ‘Female Voices of Metal and Rock’:
“’Mental Parasites’ moves effortlessly somewhere in between frantically demonic death metal and sheer breakneck speed full-on Metalcore that shamelessly inflicts you to such a brutal ear bashing that it will have you champing at the bit for more!”
SynlakrosS has shared the teaser for his upcoming LP ‘Mental Parasites’ which will be the fifth album of their career.
The songs on this album are inspired by personality disorders, as well as thoughts and attitudes that parasitize our mind, turning it into a hostile place and making us live in hell.
It’s a very thought provoking and devastatingly honest album.
Patricia Pons awesome vocal capability provides the perfect companion to the soundtrack as it seamlessly switches from sometimes being angelically sweet to the more often guttural and brutal growls that will leave you both enthralled and in complete awe.
The songs are wickedly enjoyable and twisted, they cruelly cut deep into your psyche with some beautiful moments of pure vocal genius that are sure to put more than just a demented grin across your face.
“‘Mental Parasites’ is an intense body blow of an album that will leave you totally drained and yet still completely satisfied in the same way as you would when you know you have reached the end of a tough and hazardous journey!”
SynlakrosS have grappled with very sensitive and topical subjects in their own unique way by giving a fleeting glimpse into the confused mind from the inside.
‘Mental Parasites’ is a stunning composition and worthy of a place on anyone’s playlist.
The album has been produced by Facundo Novo and the art of the album has been made by Patricia Pons, singer of the band.
“To celebrate the release of our new album, the band has put together a selection of some really cool merch for their fans: T-shirts and hoodies, from size S to 5XL, blankets, mugs…You can even buy one of the bunnies that appear in the ‘Bunnies and Bows’ video!”

2024 Mental Breakdown Single
SYNLAKROSS released new single/music video ‘Mental Breakdown’ from their upcoming new album ‘Mental Parasites’ (October 3rd, 2024).
The band states:
“This song is about the experience of having a mental breakdown, when anxiety peaks and you collapse. Due to the social pressure and depression that leads you to this mental crisis we can all identify with this song. There’s a lot of work to be done in the field of mental health. It’s a social debate that we should talk about more and more often. Many people can relate to the lyrics. We hope that in some way they will release that burden. You’re not alone!”
This is the most experimental song and different from the rest of the songs that SynlakrosS has published to date.
It has an atmosphere of its own.
The music and the lyrics blend perfectly.
The versatility and wide range of Patricia, the band’s vocalist, reflects that moment when our mind takes us to the limit.
But the music is equally important and evocative, making use of synthesizers that accompany us throughout the song.
SynlakrosS is a Spanish female fronted band which plays a Melodic Death Metal base with some of alternative metal, nu metal and metalcore influences.
Sharp riffs and powerful rhythms accompanying a female voice with soft melodies and crazy screams that will caress and shake your eardrum equally.
If you like bands like In Flames, Korn, Lamb of God or The Agonist, you have to listen to SynlakrosS.
