OMAS and Dani King Team Up with ÜBERLOUD for “Sacrifice”

After hitting listeners in the feels with “Haunting Me,” OMAS and Dani King now join forces with ÜBERLOUD for “Sacrifice.”

This year, melodic dubstep is seeing a serious revamp with OMAS and Dani King taking the reigns. The pair has snatched souls and tugged heartstrings with previous releases “Haunting Me” and “Pieces,” and now they are back to stir emotions once more with another tear-jerking cut. Now, their new collaborative single “Sacrifice,” a joint effort with German producer ÜBERLOUD, displays the raw talent and unrelenting power of all three creators in just under four minutes.

Through Dani’s riveting lyricism, “Sacrifice” tells a tale of leaving a close and familiar bond and the resulting emotional turmoil. The compelling topline is brought to life even more with colossal surges of bass, emotive synth work, and OMAS’ signature orchestral flair. “I try to make music that is rich in contrasts between melodic breakdowns and heavier bass-filled drop sections, but I love writing emotional hooks as well. And so, ‘Sacrifice’ evolved into the perfect symbiosis between both,“ said ÜBERLOUD on the creative process behind the tune.

The meaning behind the lyrics discusses leaving behind a relationship, not necessarily romantic, but a close bond. I love using religious symbolism in my writing in sacrilegious ways. I grew up catholic but left the church, so using imagery from my childhood and applying it to my own real life scenarios brings so much depth and meaning into my writing. I was aiming for this concept with the hook line, “am I your cross to bear, or am I your sacrifice.” The dual meaning moving from religion into the relationship zone for me meant: are you willing to put up with me and continue moving forward, or is this over? I left it open ended because I personally wrote this about falling out with a friend, but the feelings of losing a friend and losing a lover are so parallel. I wanted to express it in a way that crossed between both.

Fueled by Dani’s reverberating vocals and the skillful magnitude of both OMAS and ÜBERLOUD’s production styles, “Sacrifice” packs an insurmountable punch with layers of spellbinding melodies and elephantine basses to match. As heavy-hitting in sound as it is in story, “Sacrifice” serves as an impressive testament to the synergy of all three artists.

[“Sacrifice”] is a perfect blend between ÜBERLOUD’s unique melodic and heavy leads along with my orchestral sound design. Dani as always crushed the topline with her incredible writing that has many life lessons intertwined in all types of relationships we deal with on a day to day basis. Super proud of how this one turned out.
