In a harmonious collaboration, the choir and the death metal band joined forces and recorded three captivating tracks together. The village hall in the county became a sanctuary of creativity as forty choir members lent their voices to the band’s new tunes for the mesmerizing Riddles of the Sycophants album.

Since then, the band has been on an exhilarating musical journey, captivating audiences across Europe with their symphonic melodies. From enchanting performances in France, Switzerland, Germany, to the captivating landscapes of Finland, Ghosts of Atlantis has left an indelible mark on the hearts of their listeners.

Colin Parks said, “You think death metal and stuff, you think maybe some alcohol, but it was tea and hobnobs.” He went on to say, “They are a community choir, and we are obviously from Suffolk as well, and it was nice that two worlds collided to do something a bit unique that no-one else was really doing. It has given fans a chance to listen to something that our fans wouldn’t have normally experienced and vice versa and I think we have seen quite a nice crossover which breaks down barriers and that was important.”

Pop Chorus director Yula Andrews said, “We’re always trying to create memorable experiences for our singers…sometimes opportunities you’ve never even dreamed of jump out at you. I couldn’t resist putting us forward to record with Ghosts Of Atlantis. Our singers are always keen to embrace a new challenge!”

With a staggering fan base of over 6,000 followers on Instagram, the band’s popularity continues to soar. Their second album, accompanied by the enchanting harmonies of the Pop Chorus, was released just last week. The pop choir featured on “Lands of Snows”, “Empires Burn at Dawn”, and title track from the album “Riddles of the Sycophants”

Whilst “2am” was released as a single back in February, “2001” met fresh ears for the first time and it’s safe to say fans were elated. The latest sound seems far funkier, more joyous and bubbly. However, still retaining the calculated razor-sharp Foals groove. Take a look at the fan captured performances from the gig below:

The tracks played at last night’s gig are pulled from their forthcoming album Life Is Yours which will drop on the 17^th of June 2022. Their seventh in a long line of spectacular records. In a statement to announce the release, the oxford trio said; “while we were writing in the throes of last winter, we wanted to find a new way to express ourselves. We wanted to refocus and do something that shared a DNA throughout the songs: a physicality, a danceability, an ode to nights out. Big big love, Yannis, Jack and jimmy”
