Italian producer Mazare continues his exploration of heavier electronic territory with “Unholy”, a ferocious collaboration with German metalcore outfit IMPVLSE. Released via Universal Music Italia, the track sees the producer diving headfirst into the collision of drum & bass and modern metal, delivering one of his most explosive releases to date.

For years, Mazare has built a reputation for refusing to stay within genre boundaries. While many electronic artists settle into a signature sound, his catalogue has consistently shifted between melodic, emotionally driven productions and harder, rock-influenced material. “Unholy” feels like a natural progression of that journey, embracing both sides of his musical identity with full force.

From the opening moments, the track wastes little time establishing its intent. Crushing guitar riffs meet rapid-fire drum & bass percussion, creating a relentless foundation that balances aggression with precision. Yet despite its intensity, “Unholy” never feels chaotic for the sake of it. The song’s structure carefully moves between tension and release, allowing each section room to breathe before launching back into its heavier moments.

A major part of the track’s impact comes from IMPVLSE frontman’s vocal performance. Moving effortlessly between melodic passages and powerful screams, he gives the song an emotional range that elevates it beyond a straightforward metal-electronic crossover. The softer sections add vulnerability and contrast, making the heavier moments hit with even greater force.

Mazare cites Bring Me The Horizon as a key inspiration behind the track, and that influence is easy to hear. Like the British band at their best, “Unholy” thrives on contrasts, shifting seamlessly from towering choruses to crushing breakdowns while maintaining an undeniable sense of melody throughout.

What makes the collaboration particularly effective is that neither genre feels secondary. The drum & bass elements are not simply added on top of a metal track, nor do the guitars feel like decorative additions to an electronic production. Instead, both worlds are fully integrated, creating a sound that feels cohesive and purposeful.

The release also highlights the continued evolution of an artist who has steadily become one of the most exciting names within the heavier side of electronic music. With more than 35 million Spotify streams and support from artists including Illenium, Seven Lions, SLANDER, and Don Diablo, Mazare has built a global audience by following his instincts rather than trends.

On “Unholy”, those instincts pay off. The track captures the adrenaline rush of drum & bass, the emotional intensity of metalcore, and the melodic sensibilities that have always sat at the centre of Mazare’s work.

Fans of Bring Me The Horizon, Pendulum, Evanescence, and modern metal-infused electronic music will find plenty to love here.
