BASH EXPLODE WANTS YOU TO JOIN IN THE FUN ON THEIR SINGLE “MISERY LOVES COMPANY”

Heavy music and electronic music have been blended countless times before. When it works, the result is explosive and seamless. When it doesn’t, it can feel clunky and disjointed, like two halves of a song that never quite line up. Fortunately, “misery loves company” lands firmly in the former category.

Seattle-based solo artist Bash Explode shines on this latest track from LOVE+FEAR+HATE, channeling both his metal and electronic roots with clarity and control. The guitars complement the electronic elements rather than competing with them, driving the song forward and leading naturally into a chorus that highlights his post-hardcore influences. A brief, high-energy bridge acts as an appetizer before the track crashes into a full metalcore breakdown, pulling all of those inspirations together into a cohesive whole.

While the song thrives on chaos, it never feels overcrowded. Each genre is given space to breathe, avoiding the trap of collapsing into static noise. Bash Explode’s production skills are on full display here, proving he knows exactly how to balance intensity and structure. “misery loves company” stands as a strong representation of what Bash Explode does best: fusing disparate influences into a controlled explosion of sound that feels intentional, heavy, and satisfying.
