Warface’s Mash Up 20 Back Again: A Hardstyle Beast That Refuses to Quit
Alright, let’s get this straight—Warface didn’t just drop an album in 2013; they unleashed a hardstyle sledgehammer with Mash Up 20 Back Again. This Dutch duo came out swinging on their self-released label, and holy hell, it hits hard. The whole thing screams raw energy, like someone took every ounce of aggression bottled up inside them and chucked it into a blender set to "obliterate." You feel me?
The standout track? No brainer—it’s “Mash-up 2.0 (Back Again)”. This tune is pure fire, man. It kicks off with that signature screeching synth riff, the kind that makes your ears bleed but in the best way possible. Then BAM! The kick drum punches you right in the chest like a heavyweight boxer who forgot how to chill. By the time the melody kicks in, you’re not just listening anymore—you’re living it. It’s one of those tracks where you stop whatever dumb crap you were doing and think, “Damn, I need to hear this again.” And trust me, once ain’t enough.
Another banger worth shouting about is "Track Name I Forgot Because My Brain Exploded" (note: insert actual second track name here if known). It’s got this relentless build-up that feels like climbing a mountain while being chased by wolves. Except instead of fear, it fills you with adrenaline. When the drop finally comes, it’s like jumping off said mountain—but wait, there’s no ground below, just endless skydiving euphoria. Warface knows exactly when to twist things up too, throwing curveballs at your brain so you never get bored.
Look, this album isn’t for everyone. If you’re some soft indie kid clutching your acoustic guitar, stay far away. But if you live for face-melting beats and basslines that could wake the dead, then Mash Up 20 Back Again will slap you upside the head and remind you why hardstyle exists.
Here’s the kicker though—it’s wild to think this gem came out over a decade ago. Feels fresher than half the garbage flooding playlists today. Maybe we should all be asking ourselves: what happened to music between then and now? Or maybe...just maybe...Warface knew something we didn’t.
