Barry The Baptist by JM!E – A Hardcore Riot That Smacks You in the Face
Alright, let’s get one thing straight: Barry The Baptist isn’t for the faint-hearted. This 2016 banger from UK producer JM!E under Twisted Attitude slaps harder than a pissed-off bouncer at 3 AM. It’s raw, relentless, and unapologetically hardcore electronic music that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. If you’re into polished beats or chill vibes, this ain’t it. But if you live for chaos, distortion, and energy that could power a small city, buckle up.
The title track, “Barry The Baptist,” hits like a freight train on steroids. From the first second, it’s all jagged synths, pounding kicks, and an atmosphere so intense it feels like your headphones are about to explode. There’s no build-up—just pure, unfiltered aggression right outta the gate. What sticks with me is how chaotic yet controlled it feels. Like, yeah, it sounds like someone threw a rave in a warzone, but every sound has its place. You can tell JM!E knows exactly what he’s doing, even if he’s making your ears bleed in the process.
Then there’s another standout (though I won’t name it because spoilers), where JM!E flips the script just enough to keep things interesting. The drop? Absolutely filthy. Imagine being chased through a dark alley by a guy wielding a chainsaw—that’s the vibe. It’s got this hypnotic rhythm that worms its way into your brain and refuses to leave. Honestly, I caught myself zoning out during this one, only to snap back when the bass hit like a punch to the gut. Tracks like these remind me why hardcore will always have a special spot in my blackened little heart.
So yeah, Barry The Baptist is messy as hell, but that’s kinda the point. It’s not trying to be perfect; it’s trying to destroy you. And honestly? Mission accomplished.
Here’s the kicker though—after listening to this album, I started wondering: who the hell is Barry? Is he some underground preacher with a taste for mayhem? Or maybe just a dude who loves techno and got immortalized in song form. Either way, hats off to JM!E for creating something so gloriously unhinged. Now excuse me while I go recover from auditory assault.
