Sydney-born electronic music powerhouse PhaseOne is back with monster track PULSE featuring Banks Arcade. The new single serves as the second from PhaseOne’s highly anticipated debut album,‘TERRANOVA‘, out later this year, setting the tone for a project that fuses bone-crushing bass with relentless metal energy.
“PULSE is a high-energy, metalcore-inspired breaks track—a genre I’d never experimented with before, but one I’m glad I did,” says PhaseOne. “It was a lot of fun to write. Josh from Banks Arcade nailed the vocals, bringing everything together perfectly. The track has a pulsating rhythm that drives its energy. I’ve played it at a few shows now—each time, it gets the crowd bouncing. It’s got that infectious groove that really sticks with you.
Known for pioneering the fusion of metal and bass music, PhaseOne has carved out a reputation for his genre-defying sound, bridging the gap between headbangers and ravers—whether in the pit or at a festival. PULSE follows on from earlier single SOS, is a high-octane sonic assault featuring metalcore leaders Make Them Suffer. The track debuted on triple j Home and Hosed and blends Make Them Suffer’s signature emotional intensity and powerful vocals with PhaseOne’s face-melting sound design and earth-shattering drops.
As a pioneer of metal-meets-dubstep, PhaseOne has built a dedicated global following with his aggressive yet intricate production. With SOS and PULSE leading the charge, his debut album promises to be his most ambitious work yet—an evolution of his signature hybrid sound, pushing the boundaries between bass music and heavy music like never before.
PhaseOne’s distinct sound (a unique blend of hard-hitting Bass Music infused with Metal) quickly found him a niche in the hardline EDM landscape. His music has been described as “a symphony of filth”, and boy are they not wrong. As a producer, guitarist, and songwriter PhaseOne expertly crafts a “metal meets electronic” sound that not only defies genres but has earned him multiple number 1s, and millions of streams globally.
PhaseOne’s DJ performances bring unmatched energy to the stage; it’s a show he’s toured extensively in global markets including North America, South America, Europe, Australia, the Asia Pacific region, the Middle East, and Europe, playing sold-out headline shows and festivals such as Tomorrowland, EDC, Rampage and Lost Lands, with some of the biggest names in electronic music. His music is loved and supported by artists such as Skrillex, Illenium, Slander, and Excision.
PULSE featuring Banks Arcade and SOS featuring Make Them Suffer are out now and streaming everywhere. ‘TERRANOVA’ is coming soon via Sounds Of Mayhem.
