Sullivan King puts a heavy dubstep spin on Swedish House Mafia’s ‘Save the World’
Sullivan King has thrown a heavy dubstep spin on Swedish House Mafia‘s “Save the World” in a cover release from the bass music metal head.
King begins with a self-written guitar melody that dives into the instantly recognizable lyrics from one of Swedish House Mafia’s most-streamed songs on Spotify. Behind the lyrics, a punk rock backbone gives rise to an anticipatory build, which falls into a screamo pre-drop. Dubstep mayhem follows, with a tinge of the original melody. The second drop thrusts listeners through thrashing synths, glitching percussion, and a heavy kick, twisting the uplifting energy of the original with heavy wobbles and bass.
King was influenced by Knife Party‘s remix of the original and finished his cover of the track right before supporting the creator of Lost Lands, Excision, on his Apex Tour.
