Marauda is not human. The Australian artist who boasts a menacing sound that decimates everyone and everything in its path has quickly emerged as one of the top players in the bass scene due to the carnage that every track in his repertoire creates. His 2020 dubplate showcase released at the end of January gave fans a glimpse into what’s in store for the year, and the most anticipated ID from the mix, namely ‘Nefarious’ (previously titled ‘Harakiri’), has been unleashed to the masses today.
The full version of ‘Nefarious’ is even more gruelling and aggressive than the teaser in the best way possible. The introduction is looming and ominous, before a quick change of pace brings about the madness. “You’re pretty good, but your style is no match for mine” might just be the most accurate pre-drop vocal in a dubstep track. The sample catapults ‘Nefarious’ into a barrage of loud bass stabs and terrorizing synths that are sure to send any crowd into a headbanging frenzy. The second half is even more haunting and pulverizing than the first, as Marauda showcases his abilities to keep one hooked from start to finish. Don’t miss ‘Nefarious’ below.
