Get Darker Presents: This is Dubstep 2012

If you’re gonna make a comeback, you might as well make it loud as The Microdance have done with ‘Get Darker,’ their newest material since last year’s ‘The Ride Today’ and further back in 2015 with the release of their debut album New Waves of Hope.

The epic 7-minute track unleashes a much rougher vibe compared to the London-based band’s usual hazy psychedelia, where spidery guitars creep along the spine of a drowsy drum beat while blending hints of spooky New Wave, haunting shoegaze and fuzzy goth pop, before kicking it into gear with a solid heavy metal breakdown. The track even quotes the Satanic Bible complete with a suitably demonic voice, so the track certainly lives up to its title... *devil horns*

Frontman Alex Keevill explains about the track via press release:

‘After a couple months of entertaining the idea of going solo, I felt the need to have the heavy metal Gods on my side again! So I very quickly put together a killer lineup and decided that new music should be the priority. I had over a hundred songs to choose from; but challenged myself to write something new - a song that hits hard from the off. I originally intended Get Darker to be the musical equivalent of a fast food mini meal; but as is often the case with my songs, it ended up being more like a 12 course tasting menu. I thought to myself 'We have financial restrictions, we can only do one song; so let's give them an EP's worth of music in that one song.' I think we succeeded.’
