Sydney-based bass destroyer MANLY returns with his most ruthless single to date — “BLOOD BATH” — a ferocious tearout-riddim hybrid that feels like it’s tearing open the floor beneath your feet. Independently released and already making waves across the bass music underground, the track cements MANLY’s place as one of the genre’s most unforgiving and innovative rising talents.
True to its name, “BLOOD BATH” is a full-force plunge into musical chaos — but with precision and purpose. Across its runtime, MANLY layers cavernous low-end blasts with metallic percussion, distorted FX, and a palpable sense of dread. Instead of going straight for the jugular, he builds tension with atmospheric breakdowns and eerie tonal accents, creating a sense of unease before the drops hit with calculated brutality.
Coming hot off the back of his EP REVENGE — which earned co-signs from names like MARAUDA, MIDNIGHT T, and PhaseOne — “BLOOD BATH” signals the next stage in MANLY’s evolution. With past releases on some of bass music’s most notorious labels (SOUNDS OF MAYHEM, MALIGNANT, MENTIS), he’s carved a niche that blends sheer aggression with a keen producer’s ear for structure and cinematic flair.
