Kayzo, Sullivan King, and Papa Roach Drop Genre-Crossing Heavyweight Single, “DOMINATION”
Last week, Kayzo, Sullivan King, and Papa Roach announced that they had a dream collaboration on the way. Today, that collab has arrived in the form of “DOMINATE,” out via New Noize Records. “DOMINATION” is a bone-shattering heater designed to break necks. The track is the perfect combination of rock and dubstep, allowing both genres to shine at varying moments. The intro sets a quick, punishing pace for the rest of the song, as Papa Roach exclaims “let’s get fuckin’ rowdy” before any other musical aspect has a chance to make its entrance. Following his the part-starting quip, heavy guitar riffs guide listeners into a relentless barrage of pounding percussion and winding synths. “DOMINATION” is the second collaboration betwe...
Kayzo, Sullivan King and Papa Roach are Dropping a New Song Next Week
In what has the looks of one of the biggest electronic-rock crossovers of the year, Papa Roach, Kayzo, and Sullivan King have teamed up for a dream collaboration. King hasn’t collaborated with Papa Roach until now, but the fabled rock band famously enlisted Kayzo to breathe new life into their iconic nu metal jam “Last Resort” in 2018. As far as the two producers go, they haven’t joined forces on an original track since 2015’s blistering “Till We Die.” King revealed a collaboration between the three on Twitter back in January, lighting a fuse of anticipation that led to today’s official announcement of “Domination,” which will drop on April 16th. The artists have not yet shared an official preview. While there ...
