It's dark and brooding, with the bass-swelling, trappy production of early Pusha T meeting the rapper's rabid, frenzied flow, which glides and twists over the top. Sydney rapper Masked Wolf is an act definitely in the latter category, offering something quick-paced and high-energy with his latest single, Vibin. There are the big names seeping into Australian commercialism - Carmouflage Rose getting mainstream coverage Manu Crook$ and The Kid LAROI., an act we named one to watch in 2019, being shipped over to the US for Rolling Loud - and then you have the up-and-comers - acts like Triple One, Dallas Woods and Sophiegrophy - who are showing promise as acts that could very well be massive in the coming wave. Re-released via Elektra Records at the top of 2021, Astronaut In The Ocean has become a global phenomenon, amassing over one billion streams to date and hitting #1 in 8 countries around the world.There's a lot of incredible hip-hop coming out of our local scene at the moment, with the genre's popularity and sales dominance in the United States encouraging a swelling scene on a more grass-roots level. Awash in airy guitar, jagged 808s, neon keys, and deft wordplay, he submerged himself in honest lyricism, facing depression head-on. Following Night Rider and Water Walkin, he unveiled Astronaut In The Ocean. It gathered millions of streams and turned heads across Australia. In 2018, he dropped his independent debut Speed Racer. He even took out a loan to build a home studio as he cut hundreds of songs and logged thousands of hours in the lab. After graduating from school, the Sydney, Australia native tirelessly worked in sales to fund recording. Transforming from a mild-mannered man by day into an unrestrained beast in the studio, Masked Wolf (aka, Harry Michael) has unassumingly established himself as a powerful, passionate, and primal hip-hop force. He also delivered a stellar performance of Pandemonium on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and most recently, on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. Masked Wolf made his world television debut with an epic performance of Astronaut In The Ocean on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon followed by his first, primetime television appearance of the song on The Voice and then on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Meanwhile, the official music video has logged over nearly 300 million views on YouTube alone. It spent 22 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and climbed to the Top 10 at Top 40 Radio in the U.S. 1 in eight countries around the globe and amassing over one billion streams to date, not to mention becoming the eighth most-consumed song of 2021 and earning multiple nod’s on Variety’s esteemed Hitmakers List. Astronaut In The Ocean proved to be a phenomenon, hitting No. Last fall, Masked Wolf unveiled his debut 17-track mixtape Astronomical , highlighted by the Australian rapper’s RIAA Certified double-Platinum smash Astronaut In The Ocean and standout track Pandemonium. To me, it’s perfectly structured and gives me the emotions I love diving deeper into when writing songs.” The way I felt like I was meant to be in the rubble but could still be brought out, that’s the feeling it gave me.” He continued, “The way the song builds over time made me feel like there was nothing wrong with it at all. When I heard Fallout, it grabbed me straight away. Of the new collaboration, Masked Wolf commented, “I haven’t done a collaboration that felt dark I always felt that my brand had that edge of darkness to it, and I was waiting for the right opportunity to come along. Fallout is available now on all streaming platforms. Adding Wolf’s vocals to HVDES’ contribution gives the track a deeper feel, creating a new world for Bring Me The Horizon to step into. The song also arrives following Bring Me The Horizon’s recent collaborations with Ed Sheeran on Bad Habits– first performed live at the BRIT Awards – and Machine Gun Kelly on maybe. With its dark, cinematic vibe, the collaboration is heavily influenced by HVDES and features some of her vocals and production. Masked Wolf and the group originally joined forces in the summer of 2021 to record the track, which is complete with the rapper’s skillful verses and a massive chorus spotlighting frontman Oli Sykes’ powerful, uniquely-recognisable vocals. Platinum-certified recording artist Masked Wolf has shared his new genre-bending single Fallout featuring chart-topping, GRAMMY® Award-nominated rock band Bring Me The Horizon.
