After performing as local support for SVDDEN DEATH’s Saturnalia show, REVEREND gives us an exclusive listen to the highlight of his set – “CAVERN CALLER.”
Lurking in dubstep’s deepest and darkest shadows is 23-year-old Hunter Mansfield, otherwise known as REVEREND. In the modern era of evil-sounding bass music, this New Jersey native is shaking up the scene and opening up the pits with a monstrous offering of bloodcurdling basslines. Brewed in the fiery pits of inferno, REVEREND’s terrifying cauldron of sound recently earned him a local support slot at Saturnalia, Mutiny Music Collective’s New Year’s event.
Before Vampa, Space Laces, and SVDDEN DEATH took the stage at the celebration in Utah, REVEREND and ANRKEY demolished the crowd early on with an incredible b2b. Shortly after releasing “URL” with HOODZ, REVEREND blessed Saturnalia with a debut of his newest single, “CAVERN CALLER,” and it’s one of our favorite heavier tunes of this year. If you didn’t get to make it to Utah for NYE, no worries – we’ve got you covered with an exclusive premiere of “CAVERN CALLER” ahead of its release on January 15!
“CAVERN CALLER” opens with a guttural croak and distorted vocals before a haunting swarm of sound swoops in. As ominous knocks ripple and screeching synths whir, the sinister buildup comes to a halt as listeners are dragged to purgatory with its decimating snares leading the way. Just when you think the tune can’t get any more intense, REVEREND quickly proves you wrong with a growling sustained bass and aqueous synth pops to further pack a punch as well.
‘Cavern Caller’ derived from an unused bass of mine from my collaboration with HOODZ called ‘URL,’ which recently dropped on January 5.
The idea of ‘Cavern Caller’ derived from me honestly thinking about how uncomfortable yet captivating the unknown/unexpected can be sometimes. I wanted to make a song that has unexpected drops and is very in your face.
Rev Fact: It was originally called ‘Cavern Bounce’ until I literally realized there’s nothing bouncy about it and it’s more like a slap in the face lol.
I definitely consider it one of my favorite songs from my archive and if i’m being honest. it’s also one of my simplest, but you didn’t hear that from me!
