Australian producer PhaseOne returns with Terranova, his sophomore album and most ambitious project to date. Released today via his own label, Sounds of Mayhem, the LP is a masterclass in genre fusion, blending bone-crushing bass with relentless metal energy. The album’s title, meaning “new earth” in Latin, reflects its central themes of renewal, growth, and environmental consciousness.
PhaseOne has carved out a reputation for his genre-defying sound, bridging the gap between headbangers and ravers. With Terranova, he continues to pioneer the fusion of metal and bass music, delivering a sonic statement that is equal parts brutal, beautiful, and boundary-defying.
The album features high-octane collaborations, including “SOS” with Make Them Suffer, “PULSE” featuring Banks Arcade, and “DIVIDE” featuring Intervals and Micah Martin. Each track contributes to the overarching narrative of destruction and regeneration, with “PULSE” standing out as a metalcore-inspired breaks track that showcases PhaseOne’s versatility and willingness to explore new sonic territories.
Terranova is not just an album; it’s a concept-driven experience that challenges listeners to confront humanity’s impact on the planet while offering a glimpse of hope through the resilience of nature. PhaseOne’s ability to seamlessly blend aggressive guitar riffs, distorted synths, and dynamic vocals results in a compelling and cohesive body of work that pushes the boundaries of electronic and metal music.
For fans of both genres, Terranova is a must-listen that solidifies PhaseOne’s position as a trailblazer in the evolving landscape of the ‘metalcore’ genre.
