Virus Syndicate unleashes hard hitting bass tracks on their Resistance EP, out now on Disciple Round Table.
Virus Syndicate has been a mainstay in bass music for more than a decade and show no signs of slowing down. The grime duo has offered their voice and spitfire lyrics to numerous bass tracks such as Virtual Riot’s “Show Up“, Dodge & Fuski’s “Flat Line“, and Eliminate’s “Them“. Over the years, they have built up an impressive discography with their Sick Gang and The Antidote EPs, and now they present to us The Resistance EP.
Out now on Disciple Round Table, The Resistance EP is Virus Syndicate’s way of showing the scene that they are back and better than ever. The EP begins with “Paradox,” a fitting welcome that sees Graphyt and Ecraze join forces with Virus Syndicate. Between the fast-paced lyrics to the absolutely maddening drop of the track, it’s quite the intro that will leave your head spinning.
The second track off the EP, “Level,” is an uplifting tune where Virus Syndicate tells listeners how they should keep their head up no matter what life throws at them. These lyrics paired with Ace Aura’s unique production make the track ethereal and hard hitting at the same time. Turning it up a few notches is the next track, “Came to Rage” with Hairitage, a festival-ready heater of a song. It’s pure energy from the start as you can hear the raw grittiness in Virus Syndicate’s voice. This soon builds into an epic drop that will make you want to headbang. Closing out the EP is “Asking For,” and while you may think this track is a light breather to end the EP, you are wrong. Virus Syndicate keeps the pedal to the floor and enlists Whales to continue the onslaught of distortion, whirring synths, and heavy drums.
We are really excited to be back on Disciple with our first EP in 18 months. The Resistance EP is symbolic of our current state of mind and the space where we find ourselves in personally. The opening track ‘Paradox’, produced by Graphyte and Ecraze, is reflective of some of the internal conflict we have been experiencing over the past 18 months whilst, ‘Level’, produced by Ace Aura, is about how we have personally been feeling about our music careers in light of world events. Track 3 with Hairitage is about how much we just want to get back out there traveling the world and performing our songs whilst Track 4 is a statement of intent: Virus Syndicate are back and it’s time to give them what they’ve been asking for.
