A new era in electronic music has begun, and two of the artists at the forefront of the evolution have teamed up to create a masterpiece that is a genre defying ballistic blitz on the head, heart, and soul. You might even call the experience religious. Welcome to ‘Black Mass’ by Architekt and Nukage. This metal-injected dubstep neck-snapper walks the razor thin line between hardcore and black metal, like a twisted hybrid of Cradle of Filth and Excision. Each twist and turn of the track is riddled with savage bass lines, wailing guitars, and diabolical drops that keep listeners in a constant state of excitement and terror.

Electronic death metal has been brewing in the dark corners of the electronic music world for some time now, but the time has come to creep out of the shadows and cover the lands in demonically heavy bass that will contest even Diablo on darkness and ferocity. This evolution of the bass music genre perfectly does what electronic music is best known for; taking inspiration and cues from other genres of music and bring in the new. Fans of heavy rock and metal will feel right at home with the gnarly subsonic drops and breakdowns of the dubstep and hardcore genres. Architekt and Nukage have siphoned the best qualities from each genre and concocted what is sure to be a staple of the emerging subgenre. Did they make a deal with the devil to do so? Maybe, but what we do know for sure is that ‘Black Mass’ will be pulverizing sound systems far and wide for years to come.
