The new Lost Souls banger has arrived! Metalcore’s newest sensation are capping off a huge year with their latest single “Dopamine” out now (independent).
“Dopamine” is the ADHD anthem we’ve all been waiting for, and one these neurodivergent kindred spirits were born to write. Following on from their gigantic single “My Soldiers Rage” – featuring that viral ping pong ball breakdown which racked up more than 17 million views before the song even dropped – “Dopamine” continues the trend with a riff inspired by a bag of popcorn heating up in the microwave, which has also clocked up a million views. This towering beast of a track won’t be pried out of your head anytime soon.
Vocalist Kev explains the inspiration behind “Dopamine” in the most Kev way: “This isn’t really a song so much as it’s an anthem. It felt like it was time to deviate from singing about pop culture, I’m stoked with how those tracks have been received, but there’s a lot of people out there thinking that it’s funny or I’m joking, which I’m not. Dopamine is all about saying f*ck everything and everyone that wants to stuff genius into a box. Anyone that has ADHD knows that it comes with a lot of people jumping on your ass about shit that does not matter.
“The song was so fun to write as it’s not just a shout out to the neurodiverse fam out there, but also a celebration of the many, many things that give us that sweet dopamine hit,” he continues. “Music plays a big part in that, there’s so many songs or parts of songs that just release something inside me, no matter how I’m feeling. So we repped as many bands as we could just to say thanks and acknowledge their influence on our music, and getting us through life.”
Lost Souls are the heavy band everyone is talking about in 2024. This five-piece metalcore outfit has been tasked with the heavy burden of being Earth’s greatest musical achievement and its saviour. Their unorthodox songwriting methods and ability to turn mundane sounds into epic breakdowns has made them a force to be reckoned with.
