Boundary-pushing Australian GG Magree and legendary bass producer Kill The Noise unveil their debut collaboration “Taste Like Hell,” just in time for Halloween. The lyrics for this raw allure were inspired by a poem GG had previously written about surrendering to love at the cost of losing oneself. The topline was sent to Kill The Noise who delivered his dark bass magic that resulted in a visceral track as raw as the emotions behind it. The production mirrors the duality of beauty and pain, fusing gritty basslines with heavy metal influences. GG shares:
“Love is intense, it’s whole body consuming and “Taste Like Hell” is a song that embodies that. Originally, the song lyrics came from a poem I wrote on a plane. It’s about giving yourself fully to someone no matter how deeply they ruin you. I have always looked at love as the most addictive drug in the world because when it gets you, there’s almost 0 limitations. You pretty much tether your own madness to someone else’s sanity in order to keep functioning. Jake has always and will forever be one of my favorite producers. When I sent the topline to him, I had a very strong idea of sonically what the song should sound/feel like, and Jake bodied it. We wanted it to feel beautiful but painful, like floating on a cloud full of torture.”
The candid soundscape induces chaos and catharsis, drawing out the feelings of both vulnerability and defiance. This Monstercat Uncaged track “Taste Like Hell” reels listeners into its spell with each drop, capturing the relentless, addictive nature of love. GG Magree’s impressive fusion of punk-rock and bass has propelled her to perform at top festivals and collaborate with some powerhouse names like ATLiens on their recent track “Black Sheep.” Kill The Noise adds:
“Good times writing with GG. Her and I had bounced some ideas around ahead of this particular song. So, we already had some practice in for when she finally sent over the idea for “Taste Like Hell.” We knew what kind of production to go for. I think it took getting out a bunch of different ideas to realize it might be cool to figure out how to balance the heavy-hitting side of bass music with something more brooding and subtle. In the end, we took some extra time to go back and figure out how to do that in a way that felt authentic. Sometimes, the hardest part is having too many good ideas and picking the ones appropriate for the kind of story we wanted to tell.”
If you haven’t gotten a chance to listen, we can confirm that it has been on repeat all morning! “Taste Like Hell” has officially released on Monstercat Uncaged and is now streaming across platforms.
