Synth Single Review: “System Collapse” by Terrordyne

by Karl Magi

Terrordyne’s “System Collapse” rises ominously with dominating chords ringing before the percussion explodes into a thousand ragged splinters and assaults the track with unrelenting force, while shadowy notes thunder. Speeding forward with unstoppable strength and deadly evil, the main melody climbs to the sky with bloodthirsty strength as percussion erupts beneath it.

The loping beat strides forward while a synth churns with angry dynamism and an elevated tonal pattern contributes uncomfortable tension. Spinning sounds reach a crescendo, exuding intense energy before descending into a repetitive note pattern, hectic and hungry, while the massive drums collide. 

Like an echoing pipe organ, higher notes drift with spectral sensations before the bass rips the music open and the drums fracture that space. Gigantically forceful sounds grip me with their destructive potential while the pipe organ rockets forth with terrifying strength and the underlayer batters before the track closes.
