NSTD’s “The Mysterions” is like being locked in a steel-walled room with your bass-cranked friend who’s just discovered the darkest corner of industrial electro. Right from the start, you’re hit with grinding, chest-thumping beats that seem custom-made to mess with your head—or more specifically, your cerebral cortex. This is music for people who think earplugs are for quitters.
And just when you’re trying to get a grip, in drifts a voice sample—murmuring tantalizingly like it knows something you don’t. It’s cryptic, it’s haunting, and it lingers like an echo you can’t shake. The beat builds with a slow-burn intensity, inching up in pressure until you’re practically climbing the walls waiting for that final, brain-rattling crescendo.
For fans of the old TV show Captain Scarlet, the title alone is like a wink—and “The Mysterions” doesn’t disappoint in delivering that same sinister, sci-fi vibe. Conjuring images of Captain Scarlet in a gloomy industrial club, nodding along in a trench coat. But even if the show’s a mystery to you, NSTD has crafted something that feels both unnerving and exhilarating, perfect for anyone craving a dark, electric thrill. “The Mysterions” isn’t just a track; it’s an industrial initiation—and it’ll stick with you long after the final beat fades.
