In the only track of this single, Corroded Master meshes industrial beats and hissing vocals with glimmering synth loops and bass drones. Though it’s an odd mix, it works well enough, and the repetitive nature of the lyrics gets obscured enough by the instrumentation to make it through to the end without becoming too obnoxious.
Before moving into four tracks by Corroded Master, this EP opens with a remix of nullse†‘s “Hope for the Future”, featuring various treated bell-loops and flute-like synth glidings, with low-mixed beats providing a motorized texture beneath the glossier ringings. “Unsavedd” picks up from there, shifting into heavier tones and steadier percussive rhythms while alternating between new-wave plaintiveness and death metal growls on the vocals, a jump that squarely sections off the remix leader from the rest.
Two alternate mixes
(of “Righteous War”, with monastic chanting under 4/4 beats before jumping to raspy recitation, and “Pull”, with skittery, glinting synths accompanying muted yells)
follow, before finishing out with “Blood of the Fallen”, with bouncier beats and drag-drills joining retro house rhythms and forlorn singing. A weird mix taken together, but one with a fair number of enjoyable moments.
