Relentless Pursuit Steps Outside the Heavy Box with New Pop Single “In My Mind”

If you’ve been following Somerset, Kentucky’s Relentless Pursuit, you probably associate Matthew Konradt’s project with crushing breakdowns and heavy metalcore. Founded in 2022, Konradt has spent the last few years carving out a distinct space by leaning into raw honesty, faith, and the kind of heavy music that doesn’t pull its punches.

But good art usually refuses to stay in one lane. With his brand-new single “In My Mind” Konradt is taking a sharp turn into pop territory—and it’s a fascinating watch.

Trading Distortion for Atmosphere

Known for tackling internal struggles and overcoming adversity across a growing pile of EPs and albums, Konradt keeps that same thematic DNA on “In My Mind.” The difference here is the delivery.

Instead of walls of distorted guitars, the track leans on atmospheric production, driving rhythms, and sharp vocal hooks. It deals with the exhausting cycle of overthinking and letting your thoughts run the show. By shifting toward a cleaner, more accessible sound, Konradt manages to bring that signature introspection to a whole new crowd without losing the emotional weight that started it all.

Why It Works

At the end of the day, Relentless Pursuit has always been about radical honesty. Whether the music is hitting you with heavy riffs or, in this case, a vibrant pop arrangement, Konradt’s core mission remains the same: writing songs about real life and real battles.

“In My Mind” proves that a background in heavy music doesn’t mean you can’t branch out. It’s catchy, it’s thoughtful, and it shows an artist willing to take risks.
