REVIEW: Shapov & Nerak - Valhalla out on Armind

10.0
Overall Score

 


Premiered during Amsterdam Music Festival 2022 by Armin van Buuren, Shapov and Nerak's latest link-up is a one-of-a-kind club banger. With contagious vocal chants, stubby synths, rumbling bass and a sonic synergy that prevails is all of the pair's collabs so far, 'Valhalla' only adds to the dance floor thrill.

Summary

You can call it progressive trance or progressive house as this track really escapes all compartmentalization's for sure. Shapov & Nerak collaboration Valhalla is a truly epic anthemic powerstormer that manages to persuade the listener with its intense drum programming with excellent percussion and pulsating basslines while on top cinematic epic effects create the memorable megablaster atmosphere. The synths and melodies build the tension perfectly while the choir vocal enhanced even more its anthemic potential. The climax is full on and ready to move and groove huge crowds in mainstages. With loud systems in their minds the creators deliver a huge track to open the gates of 2023. #PureGold Love IT
