REVIEW: First State & Eximinds - Chimera out on ASOT recordings

9.6

Overall Score

You know what a 'Chimera' is, right? You don't? Well,... think of it as an immortal, fire-breathing monster, comprising a number of different, equally relentless parts of the equation. Much like this legend of a tune in fact, if you consider its pounding bassline, soaring melody, and bashing sound set. In sum, this inexplicably powerful, hard-hitting monster is undoubtedly conjured by First State and Eximinds, set to create carnage wherever it ventures. It would be best not to challenge this brute. You might not live to tell the tale.

Summary

Chimera is the mainstage trance smasher you are waiting for to instantly gratify your audience. Sharp basslines, rough grooves, big anthemic synths and breakdown with intense build up that leads on the melodic classy climax. Love It
