Micah Martin Unveils Debut LP with High-Octane Single “Burn Them All”
The wait for Micah Martin’s highly anticipated debut studio album, All I Need, is officially underway. Scheduled for a November 20 release, the 17-track project marks a significant milestone in his career. To kick off the rollout, Martin has joined forces with producer OddKidOut for the lead single, “Burn Them All.”
A Sonic Collision of Metal and Bass
“Burn Them All” serves as a masterclass in genre-blending, effectively bridging the gap between aggressive rock instrumentation and the high-velocity world of jump-up drum & bass. The track is defined by its gritty, distorted guitar riffs that slice through a relentless, fast-paced percussion section. Complementing this wall of sound are Martin’s signature visceral, screamed vocals, which provide a raw, unfiltered edge to the production.
The track’s sonic architecture was a collaborative effort, featuring production expertise from OddKidOut and Shawn Mayer of Melrose Avenue. Together, they have crafted a composition that feels tailor-made for festival mainstages and underground clubs alike, prioritizing a dark, high-energy atmosphere that demands movement.
A Decade in the Making
This release is the culmination of a ten-year creative journey for Martin. Throughout his career, he has meticulously refined a sound that acts as a bridge between his roots in the metal and rock scenes and his evolution into electronic bass music.
This thematic consistency is expected to permeate the entirety of All I Need. The album promises a diverse array of collaborations, featuring contributions from industry heavyweights such as Flux Pavilion and HIGHSOCIETY, further cementing Martin’s position as a versatile force in modern music.
The Creative Vision
Reflecting on the collaboration, Martin noted that the track embodies a specific, rebellious spirit. “This song is pure attitude,” Martin explained. “It’s the ultimate marriage of heavy guitar work and jump-up DNB. If a modern-day reboot of a film like The Matrix needed a high-octane anthem, this would be the perfect fit. Working alongside OddKidOut and Shawn Mayer was an incredible experience; we really managed to distill the raw energy of classic rock and roll into a contemporary drum and bass framework.”
As the electronic music landscape continues to see a surge in “hybrid” genres-with data from platforms like Spotify showing a 25% year-over-year increase in listeners engaging with cross-genre bass music-Martin’s debut arrives at a pivotal moment. By refusing to be confined to a single category, he is tapping into a growing audience that craves the intensity of metal paired with the technical precision of modern electronic production.
