What do you get when two of bass music’s hottest acts come together on one massive single? A terrible fate, or as Calcium and Hekler like to call it, ‘Doom’. With the former quickly establishing himself among the greats with heavy-hitting releases such as ‘Mega Punch‘ and his recent Skull Vault EP, and the latter consistently blurring lines between dubstep and trap in tracks like ‘Wraith‘ and ‘404‘, it was only a matter of time until the two rising stars came together to unleash a beast of epic proportions.
First teased in Calcium’s Teeth N’ Bones Vol. 3 mix, the two promised to drop the collaboration if each of their respective tweets reached 500 retweets earlier this week. Bass fans around the world jumped at the opportunity of hearing the collaboration as the tweets quickly reached their targets, leading us to the impending ‘Doom’, out today on Never Say Die.
Straight off the bat, Calcium’s signature synths and percussion are heard, quickly building up to a climax of a barrage of gunshot-like stabs. The ear-shattering frequencies and monstrous sound design flex only continue to grow stronger as the track progresses, as Calcium and Hekler’s strengths are complimented in the drops. Showcasing their rapid evolution as sound maestros, the pair of producers play with tempo and timing in the second half, sure to leave dubstep fans awe-struck and fully satisfied.
Don’t miss ‘Doom’ below and stay tuned for Hekler’s upcoming What The Hek EP, out on April 26th.
