“Among The Noise”: Devin Wild’s bold new direction
“Among The Noise” EP by Devin Wild, released on SCANTRAXX, marks a bold turning point in his artistic evolution. Moving away from the melodic signature that defined much of his earlier work, he embraces a darker, heavier, and more underground-driven aesthetic.
The intro “Understanding” opens with a cinematic atmosphere that immediately signals a shift, while “Chaos (Always Comes)” — featuring Nathalie Blue — serves as a manifesto for this new direction: thick basslines, gritty screeches, and an industrial edge that hits with intention.
“Dance With Madness” balances ethereal moments with explosive bursts of controlled chaos, maintaining a tension that feels both unpredictable and captivating. “Hit Back” is crafted for impact rather than comfort, delivering a raw energy that pushes the EP deeper into rugged territory.
“Silent (Left The System)” continues this descent into the darker side of sound design, with an industrial backbone that reinforces the EP’s underground spirit. The closing track, “Among The Noise”, wraps the experience with a whispered “Let’s do this again”, leaving the listener suspended in a sense of anticipation. As a whole, the EP is cohesive, fearless, and deliberately anti-commercial.
Devin Wild trades accessible melodies for a more abrasive, personal expression, resulting in a project that may split listeners: those seeking uplifting hardstyle anthems may be caught off guard, but those attracted to experimentation will find an artist in full metamorphosis, unwilling to stay confined by expectations.
“Among The Noise” isn’t here to please everyone — it’s here to make an impact, and it succeeds.
