A highlight from Zardonic’s upcoming album Superstars (out July 14), the song melds both artists’ unique take on metal & bass with its classic dnb core circled by a flurry of industrial and metal influences. Meanwhile, Mechanical Vein (who is Keith Kamholz) delivers a hardline vocal escalating “Death By The Bassline.”
“Keith Kamholz and I have been working together for a while now on many other projects. He had a demo of the song idea and I loved it instantly,” shares Zardonic. “It gave me the opportunity to go back a bit to the crossbreed drum & bass sound that I did a few years ago. It’s a personal favorite from the record for sure!”
