うすうすベア – Rainbow Dream Race | Hardcore

You may not have seen that name before but it’s another one of fractilx‘s aliases, so expect the usual super upbeat style of music he offers. This particular track sounds very apt for a futuristic racing game…reminds me of this video too.

If you’ve joined the fandom in the past 2 years, you might not have heard of this artist, but PinkiePieSwear was a common favourite back in the earlier days of the fandom (late 2011, early 2012), and was quite possibly the main reason vocal splicing became popular.

Next Level Derp – Wooden Wolves | Terrorcore

Lurking within the depths of the Everfree, we find an inspiring amount of promise in the grit of NLD’s new thrasher of a track. Though it’s certainly not for everyone, this composition boldly pursues a dark and aggressive direction that even few of the community’s established hardcore artists have dared to explore. Derp does a fantastic job in presenting a brutally industrial kick that anchors the supporting atmospheric distortions while the track smartly paces itself and manages to shake things up with a series of syncopated riffs. I do think the addition of some ethnic drums and just more auxiliary percussion would help ratchet up the energy of the tune, but this is a brilliant initial stab into a foreign genre from a very new artist. You can download it for free as part of a two track EP on NLD’s bandcamp, and if you’re excited to hear more, be sure to subscribe to his newly formed YouTube and Soundcloud.
