Soul Extract‘s latest release “Anomaly”, produced by the esteemed songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Paul Trust, emerges as a mesmerizing blend of cerebral depth and raw beauty within the tumultuous currents of modern rock.
With a voice that pierces through the chaos, Soul Extract delves into the depths of human emotion, creating a sonic-scape that tells a story that is as violent as it is soul-stirring. “Paul and I wanted to create a sci fi story about a lone survivor of a destroyed planet drifting through space in hyper sleep”, explains Soul Extract. “Dreaming of his feet once again touching the ground but doubting the importance of his existence due to the current circumstances.”

The track exudes a rare creative clarity, defying genre conventions as Soul Extract fuses orchestral and electronic elements with heavy guitars and harsh drums. “Anomaly” encapsulates Soul Extract‘s distinctive vocal style, marking a thrilling journey through the unpredictable circumstances a lone survivor finds themselves in, and ultimately life itself. Featuring a diverse array of instruments including his signatures use of synthesizers, as well as drums, guitar, bass, and even violin, “Anomaly” showcases Soul Extract’s innovative ability to capture fierce energy and raw emotion in the confines of orchestral rock.
Paul Trust, a graduate of the University of Miami School of Music engineering, is a highly versatile, RIAA Platinum-certified songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and label owner who is notably known for discovering, co-writing with, and developing country superstar Morgan Wallen. He is also known for his work with MNQN, Starset, Downplay, Say Anything, Diecast, Endo, Jesse Strange, Atom Smash, and Sunday Driver.
Cerebral. Beautiful. Violent. Soul Extract taps into a wealth of human emotions and experiences to generate a listening space that is as intense and unpredictable as life itself. The highly personal inspiration for Soul Extract’s creations gives every song an invigorating level of creative clarity, and the artist’s willingness to smash through genre barriers puts him at the forefront of modern music.
Although Soul Extract’s stylistic approach fits within the broad scope of electronic rock, labels can’t begin to describe the exploratory, borderline progressive nature of the songs themselves. Josh Mullis, the architect behind Soul Extract’s elaborate compositions, brings a deconstructive mindset to his craft, tearing apart genres and fusing their most compelling elements back together to build calculated and highly detailed tracks.
This analytical approach to Soul Extract began to take shape in 2013, and after years spent synthesizing the sounds of metal, electronic, and orchestral music, the artist unleashed his fiery debut album, Circadian Algorithm. Loaded wall-to-wall with emotive vocals and explosive instrumental sections, the album has laid the foundation for a developing career with an upward trajectory.
Mullis’ passion for music began at a young age, and he has traditionally pulled from deeply personal events for his creative stimulus. Finding escape from family struggles by picking up a guitar as a teenager, Mullis discovered those early creative efforts were able to carry him through unpredictable times. As an adult, a motivating force for his music rests within humanitarian endeavors, as Mullis donates proceeds from Soul Extract to various charities.
For Mullis, music is an indescribable force capable of sparking intense emotion, and this force is the essence of an artist in its purest form. As the project name suggests, Soul Extract is Josh Mullis’ unaltered expression of himself, and his passionate approach to songwriting shines through on every track he produces.
