Track review: Shockrage “Exterus”
Lyrics fit for a fight song
Existential lyrics of mankind as nothing but a “random byproduct of molecular circumstances” puts a cathartic thread into this production. Furthermore, the lyrics go on to express the frustration and desire to find purpose in life of mankind:
“There must be more….we will find it.”
Lyrics from “Exterus” by Shockrage
Such forceful words evoke an angry vibe that is felt through the duration the track. Better yet, it is strategically placed at the drop. In doing so, this provides listeners with the ultimate release of emotion. As a result, these lyrics make this hardstyle track like a fight-song for mankind.
Scathing screeches and tough kicks
The ensemble of screeching leads behind the strident lead melody chords scaling up in triplets make for a dynamic harmonizing effect. Consequently, this matches well with the classic melody based format to the hardstyle sound. As a result, its anthem-like style and underground inspired sounds make Shockrage “Exterus” a raw hardstyle weapon.
Kick drums rich in variety introduce the element of surprise that comes with the unexpected. For example, nearly every breakdown introduces a new kick drum. Each fueling the fury felt from their hostile loudness. All in all, each feature transformative effects on percussion sound design.
As they come, some exaggerate the pitch of the attack, others constrain the frequencies down to the resounding subass, while others pressurize the mid-waves for tight and biting punch. Ultimately, all of them explode and rain through the air like bullets.
