Borgore – Ruined Dubstep Vol. 1 (2010)

March 25, 2024

This has aged pretty poorly, but I’m going to try and briefly review it from the mindset I had in 2010. The mainstream dubstep craze was in full effect. Radio 1 after 10pm was full of this shit. However, Borgore, who’d turned some heads with his unique “gorestep” style, dropped his first full EP proper with Borgore Ruins Dubstep Vol. 1. For the kind of stinky drops that we all listened to in my mate’s garage passaging tulip-sized joints, this seemed pretty fucking good at the time. I listened to it again recently at the gym (seemed fitting hahaha) and whilst the lyrics are purile I gotta admit I still enjoyed the beats and bass.
