This Is Our World EP by Deathroar & Dr Peacock: A Hardcore Electronic Punch to the Gut
Alright, let’s talk about This Is Our World EP. If you’re into hardcore and electronic music that feels like it was made in a sweaty basement but still sounds polished enough to slap your headphones off, this one's for you. Released back in 2017 by Dutch duo Deathroar & Dr Peacock under their own label, Peacock Records, this EP is six tracks of relentless energy with just the right amount of chaos.
First up, "Frenchore In de Maak." Yeah, I know, what even IS that title? But don’t overthink it—just hit play. This track hits hard from the get-go, blending pounding beats with glitchy synths that feel like they're trying to escape the song itself. It’s messy in all the best ways, kinda like when you try to dance at 3 AM after way too much Red Bull. You can tell these guys aren’t afraid to experiment, and honestly, it works. The drop? Insane. Like, “oh crap, my neighbors are gonna hate me” levels of loud. This one sticks because it doesn’t take itself too seriously—it’s fun, raw, and makes you wanna lose your mind on the floor.
Then there’s “Let’s Go Crazy.” No, not the Prince cover (thank god), but an absolute banger in its own right. This tune has layers upon layers of distorted vocals, pulsing basslines, and drums so fast they might give you whiplash if you’re not careful. There’s something hypnotic about how chaotic it feels without ever losing control. Around halfway through, the beat switches up unexpectedly, throwing you off balance before dragging you back in deeper than before. By the end, you're left breathless, wondering what just happened. Honestly, it’s the kind of track that could soundtrack a dystopian rave or a really intense workout session—your call.
The rest of the EP keeps the vibe going strong, especially tracks like “Bad Company” and the title track “This Is Our World,” which hammer home the message that yeah, this is their world, and we’re just living in it. Or maybe dancing awkwardly in it. Either way, it’s infectious as hell.
So here’s the thing: This Is Our World EP isn’t perfect. Some parts feel repetitive, and sure, the production could’ve been cleaner. But honestly? That’s part of why it works. It’s unapologetically loud, wild, and full of personality. Listening to it feels like stepping into someone else’s weird little universe where rules don’t apply—and honestly, who doesn’t need more of that?
Final thought: If aliens ever invade Earth and ask us to explain human emotions through music, I’m handing them this EP. And then running away screaming.
