Getter officially stakes his claim back in bass music with DOOM, a ferocious five-track EP marking his debut on Bassrush Records. Released January 30, the project launches the first chapter of an ambitious trilogy, fusing the raw force of his early dubstep foundations with the gritty, unfiltered energy of his rap alter ego, Terror Reid.
Introducing the vision behind the release, Getter describes DOOM as a defining moment in his evolution. The EP merges the seismic basslines that built his name with the hip-hop influences that have long shaped his creative identity, setting the tone for a multi-part series that will explore the intersection of aggression, rhythm, and sound design.
Leading the charge is “STAB UP” featuring Shakewell, a manifesto-like opener that pairs crushing low-end pressure with syrup-thick rap swagger. The Los Angeles rapper’s sharp, irreverent bars cut through metallic synths and rolling 808s, blurring the lines between trap, dubstep, and hip-hop with volatile precision. The chemistry feels instinctive, capturing the chaotic spirit both artists thrive in.
“BORN 2 STUNT” alongside SXMPRA pushes even deeper into unhinged territory. Distorted trap drums and warped basslines lay the groundwork for the New Zealand rapper’s high-pitched, hyperactive delivery. Beneath the flex-heavy bravado, a darker tension brews as Getter’s sound design mutates into a modern evolution of his early, wobble-driven style.
On “EGO TORTURE,” the tempo eases but the intensity doesn’t. South Strip’s menacing cadence rides a tightly coiled beat that stalks rather than sprints. When a guttural vocal command detonates mid-track, the production spirals into full dubstep chaos, collapsing into a vortex of pitched wobbles and subterranean bass that feels both hypnotic and suffocating.
“SKULLY,” featuring Dead Hippie, delivers one of the EP’s most abrasive moments. Built like a distorted trap dirge, the track finds beauty in brutality. Dead Hippie’s fierce, almost poetic delivery anchors the record while Getter sculpts a beat that snarls with industrial weight. The second half fractures into pure sonic mayhem, with jagged percussion and overwhelming sub-bass closing the track in scorched-earth fashion.
At the core of the EP sits “PILLZZ,” a solo statement that distills Getter’s current sonic identity. Free of guest features, the track focuses on precision-engineered drums, metallic textures, and ironclad basslines. Each phrase ratchets up the tension before culminating in a relentless four-on-the-floor finale laced with glitchy, metallic stabs that push beyond structure into pure momentum.
Originally conceived as an experiment in genre fusion, DOOM became a creative reset — a way for Getter to reconnect with the chaotic heaviness that first drew him into production while channeling the rhythmic aggression of the rap world he’s long inhabited. The EP serves as the foundation of a trilogy that will expand in two directions: a heavier, collaboration-focused second installment and a melodic, vocal-driven finale.
The release is accompanied by a limited run of cassette tapes, a tactile nod to underground culture and the analog grit that has always informed Getter’s aesthetic. He’ll support the project with appearances at major festivals including EDC Mexico, Forbidden Kingdom, and Beyond Wonderland PNW, signaling a full-scale return to the bass music spotlight.
After years of artistic reinvention, Getter’s comeback feels both deliberate and explosive. With DOOM, he doesn’t just return to bass music — he redraws its boundaries, proving once again why his name remains synonymous with evolution and disruption.
DOOM is available now on all platforms via Bassrush Records.
