‘UNDERWORLD‘ is the Halloween anthem that simply dropped. Launched over Halloweekend by Teminite and SLUGZ, it fuses pirate-shanty melodies, cinematic choirs chanting Latin doom, and monstrous basslines. ‘Underworld’ is the sort of monitor that grabs you by the throat and drags you right into a sonic abyss. As a collaboration between digital powerhouse Teminite recognized for his blistering dubstep drops and SLUGZ (the rebranded evolution of SNAILS, bringing that signature grotesque darkish bass sounds), this monitor seems like a pure fusion of their musical craft.
Proper from the beginning, ‘Underworld’ units an eerie scene. Epic choir vocals from Lar Nova kick issues off with Latin-infused incantations like Monstrum Malignis. When the drop kicks in, SLUGZ’s affect shines by means of in these wobbling basslines that growl and mutate which sync along with Teminite’s razor sharp synths and half time riddim grooves.
Amid limitless generic drops, ‘Underworld’ earns consideration by means of real narrative. It’s a concise, self-contained story informed in sound & lyrics. Listeners already hooked on Teminite’s previous collabs or SLUGZ’s low-end experiments will slot it in instantly, but the monitor stays approachable for anybody new to the style who needs greater than noise. The vocal chops and wobbles are front-and-center on this one and undoubtedly carry the monitor.
