The Kerrang! staff’s top albums of 2024
You’ve seen the Kerrang! albums of 2024. Now check out what the staff were all listening to this year…
Aussie rapper Masked Wolf teams up with Bring Me The Horizon for new single Fallout…
After teasing it earlier this week, Australian rapper Masked Wolf has shared his new collab with Bring Me The Horizon.
Entitled Fallout, the massive new single has a little bit of everything, from the pop-rock chorus sung by Oli Sykes ('Cold sweats, pupils shrinking / Don't know what I was thinking / Just felt like I was sinking / This is the fallout') to a nu-metal breakdown towards the end, and, of course, Masked Wolf rapping in the verses.
“I haven’t done a collaboration that felt dark; I always felt that my brand had that edge of darkness to it, and I was waiting for the right opportunity to come along,” says Masked Wolf. “When I heard Fallout, it grabbed me straight away. The way I felt like I was meant to be in the rubble but could still be brought out, that’s the feeling it gave me.
“The way the song builds over time made me feel like there was nothing wrong with it at all. To me, it’s perfectly structured and gives me the emotions I love diving deeper into when writing songs.”
The collab follows BMTH's work with Ed Sheeran and Machine Gun Kelly already in 2022. In the new issue of Kerrang!, Oli enthused of the band's varied work with other artists, “I love being able to do something like Ed Sheeran, and then go off and work with a super-heavy band. I don’t feel like there’s been many artists who can jump from such a broad spectrum, and that helps reinforce what we are.”
