Pixel Terror - Bittersweet [Monstercat Release]

[@PixelTerror]

Hey everyone!! Thank you so much for checking out Bittersweet. Bitter that it doesn't end in 'A', but Sweet that it's a pretty saucy beat to start off the year. Ultra shout to Monstercat for releasing this as the first song of the decade. This is only the beginning of a brand new sagA..... ;)

[@nmbreleven]

Sweet song!

[@SquishyEggroll]

Looking forward to the new music you guys have planned!

[@ricedkiwis]

Will it also end in )?

A big thanks to Pixel Terror for ushering 2020 with the first release of what will be an incredible year!

[@hypebeastmanoffical]

Starting the year right with some new Pixel Terror ❤

[@BraxtonKovary]

Pixel Terror, I'm counting on you to release a song at the beginning of the year now for the rest of the decade, since Dr. Stonedank couldn't prescribe us our Happy Hardcore Pills.

[@ricedkiwis]

That's a task, but it's Pixel Terror. I'm down.

[@blackdrone4313]

starting good in 2020, what a blast!!!

[@lonewolf7683]

love ur musick

[@atomicnitro2097]

When the first release of the year isn’t Happy Hardcore but is a top quality Pixel Terror banger *A soul for a soul*

[@rkken]

the government wasn't happy hardcore though

[@Germaphobe2]

And it doesn't end with an A. We're truly in the next era of Monstercat.

[@atomicnitro2097]

s u c c it wasn’t but GQ putting the track as happy hardcore on KZbin and being tagged as that genre on Reddit begged to differ lol

[@nates180]

Lmao

[@Germaphobe2]

So what you're saying is if we label this as happy hardcore, the tradition can continue?

[@TeminiteMusic]

Mmmm that drop really hits the spot!

@@PixelTerror nice work guys! It's really awesome keep up the good work!

[@callmelunaVEVO]

Ladies, gentlemen, and anyone in between, a moment of silence for two traditions: starting the year off with hardcore, and Pixel Terror’s MC releases ending with an -a suffix. May they live on in our memories, amen. Mourning aside, this is an excellent way to start off the year. And based on the Twitter sizzle reels we got last week, we’re in for a strong start.

[@Trigithy]

Amen.

[@skydyspro]

You could maybe even say that this is... Bittersweet

[@atomicnitro2097]

Amen

[@ricedkiwis]

Amen.

[@zappinghero4690]

Amen. Although I actually yet think it's pretty interesting that they're ending with a different letter (as if it's in an un-expected way) after all of their previous songs ending with an a (which is still pretty neat too).

[@Zeeangoo]

Can't get enough of Pixel Terror's techy, metallic, retro, chunky sound design

[@PixelTerror]

mmm chunky

This is the bittersweetness I love! 😍🔥

[@QueeferSutherlands]

I'm glad we've been getting more music that sounds like OG Monstercat from their first numbered albums. I used to listen to nothing but Monstercat. I stopped listening for awhile cuz it just didn't feel the same but I've been slowly getting back into it! ♥️🙏

[@vglycorpse2001]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who strayed away from Monstercat for a while bc their stuff started to sound too mainstream, but some of their recent stuff last year and now have been absolute bangers and I'm so happy to get back to filling up my playlists with Monstercat again lol

[@DanielRodriguez-je9dm]

I kinda stepped away cause I've been listening to Spanish and Hip Hop music

[@SoRatedR52]

​@@vglycorpse2001 Yea me too.. I stopped MC during 2017-18. Got back early 19, best decision ever! Been a lot of bangers since

[@Gold_Roses_]

Dude same! Literally use to never miss an upload, hopefully in 2020 they come out with some bangers.

[@TheLethalGuy]

Neonn Dreamer I don’t understand this hateful sentiment towards mainstream sounding music. If the music sounds good, it sounds good, like really?

The Pixels back at it to terrorize the charts of the year.

[@zelic360]

yesha

[@botwenty]

And at long last, the "Hardcore to kick off the year" streak comes to a close. You could call this day "bittersweet".

[@Master_3530]

Rip A and rip happy hardcore, this is trully bittersweet

[@PhoenixMagnet]

*BITTER* I don't like the fact that Stonebank or any Happy Hardcore artist didn't make any HH song as a first song in the new decade. *SWEET* I like Pixel Terror and Dubstep. Together, they make extreme quality banger!

[@riokshutt2115]

Holy frick this sounds like a Pixel Terror, Xilent & Chime collab

[@heartbeatranks]

Didn't think about it like that, you make a great point: PT kicks snares & growls, Chime color bass and electro plucks, and Xilent sliding basses & glitches

[@zappinghero4690]

If either Karra or Micah Martin was featured on this song, that'll make Vol. 8 just as great and powerful as Vol. 3 on Uncaged, which would mean it would've been my newer favorite UV8 song. But either way, this is also one of the fewest UV8 songs where the way the key & melody gave me the happy tingle feels into me too! Love the art here too as well. 💙

[@przemek-b5s]

And made it hardcore

To be fair, Pixel Terror works pretty quick on their tracks. Expect one every month or so imo since that seemed to be the case last year, both on and off the label.

[@iapplepieguy6849]

@@peterflex1 it was just a joke but i get what you mean

[@indigo1324]

UBF well, I’ll talk about the song. I find that this song is similar to a lot of Pixel Terror’s other Brostep, but uses bitcrushing more heavily than a lot of their other songs. The drops also change a lot from start to end, which makes them work even though they’re 32 bars long each.
