This partnership is a testament to both artists' remarkable abilities and sets high expectations for their future endeavors. Beyond Belief" opens with powerful, driving basslines that provide a solid foundation for the track. The raw metallic kick and slamming rough drums add to the dynamic energy, creating a mega-blockbuster atmosphere that is sure to energize large audiences at trance festivals.
