Following their recent signing with Drakkar Entertainment / Soulfood Music, Amsterdam-based modern metal band, THE LAST ELEMENT, has shared a brand new song taken of their forthcoming, hotly-anticipated album! More album details should follow in the weeks ahead.
After the four-piece just shared a first single earlier this year, “Waves” (feat. Jett Rebel), today, the band is premiering the song “Control”, featuring rap infused rock and metal act DROPOUT KINGS!
Says THE LAST ELEMENT vocalist Jasper about the new single:
“Control is a heavy and dark song about an abusive relationship, when we wrote the second verse we just knew we wanted someone to really deliver that feeling with the perfect rap vocals… thus Dropout Kings came to mind, we’re fans of what they do and their amazing sound so we decided to reach out.
Quickly they picked it up and we’re excited to work on the song and thus Control was created!”

Since their formation, THE LAST ELEMENT has reached +3 Million streams on Spotify alone and +10 million across platforms, fully DIY and this only proves they are getting the recognition and support from their listeners. With these numbers increasing daily and previous releases added to editorial playlists such as “New Blood” “New Core” “New Metal Tracks”, THE LAST ELEMENT is definitely levelling with established names in the genre on the way to determine their goal in life to share their music and lyrics with a global audience.
THE LAST ELEMENT started in 2018. Immediately they found common ground, both Jan (bass) and Jasper dealt with hardship in the past, each song they wrote was a way to lift a burden. Jan most notably dealt with the suicide of his life partner, and Jasper came from a history of child abuse and the fallout that created. They bonded over the troubles they lived but more importantly who it made them and what it made the band, they became stronger, the damage, the scars of their past gave the fuel to their music and helped them write what is closest to their hearts. THE LAST ELEMENT is the bond between them, and all the people who are scared to get hurt or that have to deal with misfortune, “we all heal when we are together, together we are stronger. Thus our music became the translation of those feelings, the dark, the heavy, the rage but also the light, the love and hope. The band says.
“With our songs, music, videos and stories we want to keep that as a theme that, no matter how dark the cloud, there’s always a silver lining of hope and resilience. (this is also portrayed in our artwork and band pictures, we combine black with a color of choice).”
