SECOND SINGLE OFF FORTHCOMING EP VIA REZZ’S HYPNOVIZION
Alt-electronic artist Crywolf and alt-bass producer AWAY return as their collaborative project ANTAGONÏZER with their new single ‘BOW DOWN’. The single serves as the second off their forthcoming EP via Rezz’s label HypnoVizion.
Entrenched with the deviant, unconventional nature that characterizes the ANTAGONÏZER project, ‘BOW DOWN’ is an enthralling followup to their debut single ‘STATIC’. Continuing to leave fans captivated by their unapologetic exploration into the darkest depths of the human psyche, ‘BOW DOWN’ is an apocalyptic tale of power and domination, reflecting on the universal desire to conquer and to yield. Crywolf’s raw, poetically ruthless lyricism combined with AWAY’s surgically brutal production unleashes a relentless musical assault, seething with a calculatedly savage energy rarely found in the world of electronic music; a prime example of ANTAGONÏZER’s masterful fusion of raw intensity with refined complexity.
Both known as boundary-pushing and uncompromising artists in their own right, collaborators Crywolf and AWAY have already firmly cemented their places as two of electronic music's most innovative and exciting artists, with over 330 million total combined streams, dozens of chart topping releases under their belts and ravenously loyal followings. The combination of their talents across three previous collaborations has resonated with listeners in uniquely potent ways, with each track skyrocketing into multi-millions of streams and becoming fan favorites almost immediately upon release. After recognizing the natural artistic synergy between them and seeing such intense support, forming their collaborative ANTAGONÏZER project was a no-brainer.
Crywolf, aka Justin Taylor Phillips, is a producer, vocalist, and multi instrumentalist from Los Angeles, CA. One of the first pioneers of the “Post-EDM” movement, his intimate, melodic, avant¬garde releases have garnered their own unique following, with a loyalty rarely seen in the electronic landscape. His releases are no stranger to commercial success either; met with support from international acts such as Ellie Goulding, Skrillex, and more, and covered by major media outlets such as Billboard, Vice, and DJ Magazine. His albums have all charted on iTunes, and many have also secured spots on the Billboard charts, with his first full length Cataclasm topping the Electronic chart for two weeks. With over 250 million plays across online streaming platforms, and a hyper-loyal fanbase that consistently defies expectations, Crywolf has solidified his spot as one of electronic music’s most enduring and compelling artistic talents.
With over 100 million streams, AWAY has established himself as a front runner among independent artists rising from the underground. His unique take on modern electronic bass music blends heartbreaking melodies and emotive songwriting that connects the body and soul, all while exploring the dark shadows of the human psyche. Described as a twisted love child of Flume, Gesaffelstein and Nine Inch Nails, AWAY’s raw, gritty sonic aesthetic is derived from a deeply rooted love of alternative and industrial music. Much like that of his heroes and musical inspirations, AWAY fuses to remain in one lane, abandoning genre classification and limitations with no regard.
