• Finally Sinphony is showing off its roster!
• Lots of potential with Dimatik’s presence, not fully developed
• Still a great tune with solid Hardstyle schematics
Without a doubt, I was highly anticipating about the said collaboration. After waiting for months, Sinphony started inducting to introduce other acts exclusive of their esteemed owner Timmy Trumpet. This is a great way to gauge the niche this imprint is heading for. With MarLo and Frontliner headlining early (a splendid team-up must I remark), and then this proceeding pair, there’s certainly a strong preference being show towards sounds of the underground!
Secondly, both Dimatik and SBZ are two of my go-to performers in the Hard-Psy/Hardstyle world, this makes me downright curious to hear how their styles merged!
The result, coming to the point, is slightly under my (high) expectations, yet calling this “bad” is outright unjustified. It simply lacks that “wow” factor often found in significant productions from other leading artists. “Fight As One” opts the classic Rawstyle recipe with a rather eerie chant, adjoined to brutal anti-climaxes. Sure, it does its job well enough without empowering the potential outcomes that Dimatik could have ushered in, as opposed to other ramped-up joint-effort “March Of The LG”, revealed only a few weeks ago. Today’s focus seemed more of a Sub Zero Project, project (pun intended) with a sprinkle of Hard-Psy on the less scoring first drop. Bit disappoining, to say.
However, the intense lead makes for a stunning elevation, slowing the tension building before both drops in a way, almost “cinematically”. The Hardstyle duo aren’t new to these antics, and certainly have mastered the trade of creating solemn transitions. Additionally, the following one has a more impressive melodic tone, boasting an superior attitude. It’s something I would happily groove along, that lead was storming!
Wrapping up, I would say that “Fight As One” wasted the opportunity of enhancing Dimatik’s touch in the slightly underwhelming parts, but takes the trophy home with a superb melodic Hardstyle hook, a robust lead and the usual SBZ quality in the build-ups.
Next round, Sinphony! Talk about a good roster!
