The world’s most prominent bass driven instrumental rock act, Australia’s The Omnific, have unleashed their latest single and music video, the thematic hip-hop-pop infused ‘Matrices’, off their new sophomore album, ‘The Law Of Augmenting Returns’; an audacious and magnificent triumph – to be released on June 7, 2024 via Wild Thing Records.
‘Matrices’ – Music Video:
To the contrary, ‘Matrices’ is simplistic in its ideas than the usual thoroughfare of The Omnific, with the majority of the song based off one theme. Influenced by pop and hip hop, the track has many singalong sections, while still incorporating the complexity and technicality that The Omnific are renowned for. The Omnific’s art guru Josh Saunders lends his guitar abilities to the track, but using a Bass VI, sticking true to the fact that The Omnific’s musical realm is yet to feature a guitar.
Toby Peterson-Stewart (Bass) comments, “‘Matrices’ weaves modern cascades of thumping and slap, while embracing a futuristic soundscape. This is one of the harder songs to play for all of us respectively, it’s a great example of a song that makes us all better musicians from playing it. Also, many Djent.”
