PhaseOne & Banks Arcade unleash a Metal-Electronic inferno with "Pulse"
PhaseOne has never been one to play by the rules, and with Pulse, he doesn’t just bend genres—he smashes them together into a sonic firestorm. The Australian bass-metal trailblazer has teamed up with Banks Arcade for a ferocious blend of industrial metal and electronic destruction, delivering a track that is both exhilarating and unrelenting. Set to drop on April 4th as part of his highly anticipated Terranova album, Pulse is a high-voltage, adrenaline-fueled anthem that pushes heavy electronic music into new, chaotic heights.
From the opening moments, Pulse sets the tone with menacing, distorted synths and an undercurrent of tension that feels like something monstrous is about to be unleashed. Then the guitars come crashing in—thick, mechanical, and relentless, weaving seamlessly into thunderous percussion that doesn’t let up for a second. The sheer weight of the production is staggering, melding aggressive electronic textures with crushing metal riffs in a way that feels both futuristic and primal.
This isn’t just another electronic-metal crossover. This is a full-throttle assault on the senses, a track that takes the best elements of both worlds and fuses them into something that feels entirely fresh. The industrial influence is unmistakable—blaring like a dystopian war cry—while the underlying bass elements ensure that Pulse doesn’t just hit hard; it physically shakes you to your core.
If PhaseOne’s production is the beast, then Banks Arcade’s vocal performance is the fire that makes it rage. The screams are raw, impassioned, and perfectly woven into the chaos, amplifying the track’s dark, apocalyptic atmosphere. But what makes it even more compelling is the balance—it’s not just about brutality for the sake of it. There’s an undeniable anthemic quality here, an energy that feels both destructive and empowering at the same time.
In Pulse, PhaseOne continues to prove why he’s at the forefront of the electronic-metal revolution. It’s loud, it’s exotic, it’s genre-bending in all the right ways. The track takes listeners on a wild, high-energy ride through a dystopian battlefield of sound, where metal and bass music aren’t just coexisting—they’re colliding, evolving, and thriving together.
And if Pulse is any indication, Terranova is shaping up to be an absolute monster of an album. Go ahead and listen for yourselves, prep for the new record, and stay tuned for more by clicking those links below.
