Opening with the alluring echoes of siren hums and creeping drums that’s paired with a dark warning message, the track then hits with the rumbling bass and the vibrations of roaring chomps. “Body Count” comes from Midnight T’s EP, Tales From the Man Cave. When it comes to his albums, Midnight T is a skilled storyteller and creates powerful headbanging bass tracks.
Vortex – Rezz & PEEKABOO
