Yeah, decades. Now, rising darkwave electro-rock act ACTORS have taken the track somewhere even darker, stripping it back and rebuilding it into something hypnotic and dancefloor-ready, while keeping all that emotional gut-punch intact. It\u2019s the kind of remix that earns its existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But here\u2019s the real news: this is the last single before Massive Ego\u2019s long-awaited album \u2018Symphony Of Flies,\u2019 dropping May 8, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thirty years into their career, the band isn\u2019t slowing down \u2014 they\u2019re levelling up. \u2018Symphony Of Flies\u2019 is being described as one of their most personal and defiant works yet, ten tracks that drag you through collapse, survival, recovery and transformation, blending darkwave, EBM, glam, electronic rock and confrontational pop into something that sounds like a battle cry wrapped in black velvet. The album also lines up perfectly with their appearance at the Out Of Line Weekender in Berlin that same weekend \u2014 a full-circle moment for a band who\u2019ve never really left the shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and vinyl fans \u2014 this one\u2019s for you. \u2018Symphony Of Flies\u2019 marks the first-ever Massive Ego vinyl release, available as a limited red LP alongside a digipak CD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018Symphony Of Flies\u2019 track list:<\/strong><br>1.
