Synth Single Review: “Doomsday” by Revert Disk

by Karl Magi

Revert Disk’s “Doomsday” is full of grit, shadow and danger. The track comes to life as a rushing sound echoes and soft scratching moves with computerized noises. In the distance, empty bass drifts and a tripping sound moves with ominous narration, capturing desolation and threat. The rumbling foundations thunder as the dark voice is joined by battering beats.

After a momentary pause, the beat begins to throb heavily, full of deadly intent, thumping while the drums add sharp energy. The rebounding bass is joined by hollow sounds that flicker and fade, creating a hypnotic pattern. Metallic tones move with a threatening feeling and the hard-hitting vocal sounds add a sense of impending terror.

Tapping sounds move with fulminating tones that grind through the music. The charging underlayer rattles forward, and twisting sounds writhe in tortured motion. A sense of growing menace permeates the music as the floating sounds slice hard and the voiceover adds tension. The bottom end surges forward with fierce dynamism and the drums speed again as bending sounds contort and silence falls.
