GG Magree & Kill The Noise Celebrate Halloween with Spine-Chilling Anthem, ‘Taste Like Hell’

Boundary-pushing Australian artist GG Magree and American legendary bass producer Kill The Noise just dropped their debut collaboration, “Taste Like Hell,” on Monstercat.

When GG first wrote the lyrics for “Taste Like Hell,” inspired by a personal poem about surrendering to love at the cost of losing oneself, she captured love’s raw, intoxicating allure. GG sent the topline to Kill The Noise, who delivered his dark bass magic, resulting in a track as visceral as the emotions behind it. Kill The Noise designed a production that mirrors the duality of beauty and pain, fusing emotively gritty basslines with heavy metal influences that tear through the track with angsty vocals from GG that feel both vulnerable and defiant. The experimental bass induces chaos and catharsis, creating a soundscape that feels like you’re floating in torment, a sound as haunting as it is electrifying. “Taste Like Hell” draws listeners deeper 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 deliver standout performances at top festivals and venues such as Coachella, SOFI Stadium (as a special guest for Illenium), Lollapalooza, and Ultra. Collaborating with powerhouse names like Zeds Dead, ATLiens on their track “Black Sheep,” and Seven Lions, GG has solidified her presence as a trailblazer in the electronic music scene. A leading female force in the “rocktronic” genre, she brings her raw energy and rebellious spirit to life both on stage and in her music, notably with hits like “Deja Rave” and “King” and her cover of No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak” alongside bass artist Jessica Audiffred.

Working along respected music industry names like Skrillex, deadmau5, and Tom Morello, to contributing to film scores including “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “XXX: Return of Xander Cage,” Kill The Noise’s force in music is undeniable. He’s taken over crowds at major festivals and venues like EDC, Lost Lands, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre, further cementing his influence in the electronic realm. From amassing millions of streams on DSPs to shaping the sound of modern bass music, his impact continues to resonate worldwide.

“Taste Like Hell” is a haunting track perfect for the Halloween Season! The lyrics, vocals, and instrumentals are spine-chilling and awe-inspiring. KTN’s dark and gritty production are a perfect pairing for GG Magree’s soaring and enchanting vocals. The track begins with subtle drumbeats and keyboard patterns. Chilling string effects come into frame, adding to the dark nature of this track’s production. These elements support the intense lyrics of the first verse:

“There’s got to be. A reason why. I bleed when you are near. In my sweetest dreams, your hands on me. Gripped tight, we disappear. So take all of me, I want the cuts bone-deep. Take off my skin, lay your flesh on me. I want every high to feel like I need help. Lick me like the flames, tell me I TASTE LIKE HELL.”

The conclusion of this first verse leads to the initial drop, as the drums pick up speed and intensity. This first drop is a rolling and sputtering spiral of sound backed by slow, lumbering percussion and bass. Wonking about just in time for the second verse.

“Infect my lungs. Go through my blood. And eat me from within. Tell me it’s all okay. Smile right to my face. Let me indulge in all your sins.”

The spiraling wubs continue through this verse, broken apart by chime-like drum hits, glistening samples and choppy smoke screens. Subtle breakbeats add a deeper level of percussion to the mix, before the strings take over again. Morphing into a barrage of lasers before dropping once again. This second drop capitalizes on the wonkiness, while adding cascading bass that gradually ascends and crescendoes throughout. Supported by frosty, atmospheric notes that break up this section of the track. The drop continues to sway and roll, like an underworld armadillo. The vocals effortlessly roll into the beat as it supercharges. Fading out with ominous vocals, drums, and piano. “Taste Like Hell” is an incredible collaboration that achieves a perfect balance of melodic vocals and dark production, with snippets of melody to be found in the production as well. The lyrics are visceral and perfect for a Halloween Week release. Check out this incredible track ASAP! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

GG Magree 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.” 

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.”
