The wait is finally over.
DESTROID—the new mega collaboration led by Canadian bass master Excision featuring fellow Canadian bass artist Downlink and drummer KJ Sawka from platinum-selling electronic rock band Pendulum—have announced the release of their debut full-length album. Due out May 7 on their own independent imprint Destroid Music, DESTROID—THE INVASION features 10 original tracks from the group that is set to revolutionize bass and electronic music worldwide.
On DESTROID—THE INVASION, DESTROID come guns fully blazing with an all-star cast of electronic producers and collaborators, including the globally acclaimed Bassnectar, U.K.-based electro/bass artist Far Too Loud, U.S. bass artist Space Laces, Japanese “bass Godzilla” and Rottun Recordings artist Ajapai and dubstep vocalist Messinian. From beginning to end, DESTROID—THE INVASION is filled with stomping beats, spine-tingling bass and gut-wrenching drops that bang louder than anything around today. DESTROID—THE INVASION packs the dirtiest of the dirty and the heaviest of the heavy in bass music.
DESTROID—THE INVASION goes full force with the throbbing, whomping bass of the Space Laces- and Excision-produced “Bounce” and “Funk Hole,” which immediately destroy eardrums. Excision teams withBassnectar on the hip-hop-tinged “Put It Down” which showcases the production prowess from both bass heavyweights. “Put It Down,” a collaboration made in bass heaven, is sure to please dubstep fans globally as the track quickly accelerates and takes listeners on a ballistic journey from the get-go.
“Activation” from Downlink blares an alarming ruckus reminiscent of a space alien invasion from the future while its rapid-fire build instantly hooks listeners without warning. Far Too Loud joins forces with Excision on“Annihilate,” where the duo creates an apocalyptic anthem suitable for the last days of the human race. Together on “Annihilate,” Excision and Far Too Loud unleash a dystopian call to arms powerful enough to fuel a revolution and flip the dubstep world upside down. Elsewhere, Messinian lays down his trademark, dubstep-influenced rhymes on the Excision-produced “Flip The Switch.”
“I’ve spent over three years getting this new DESTROID project ready and I really believe that the way we are putting it together sets down a new path for electronic music performance,” says DESTROID founder Excision.
On the day DESTROID—THE INVASION is released, Excision will participate in a live “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) session on Reddit at 5 p.m. PST May 7, where fans are encouraged to ask him anything related toDestroid, Excision and his recently wrapped “Execution Tour” featuring the groundbreaking live production stage “The Executioner.”
