HIGHSOCIETY is the EDM / bass music solo project of James Guttman. First debuting at the FiXT label with the well-received single “Rip My Heart Out” (feat. Skyler Cocco), HIGHSOCIETY followed up with a dynamic remix of Teddy Killerz and Celldweller‘s collaboration “Clone” and a fiery remix of The Anix‘s “My Eyes.”
Now he has dropped an ominous lyric video for his fierce metalcore, alt-metal, dubstep banger “Burn” featuring a brutal vocal performance from Escape The Fate lead vocalist Craig Mabbitt.
“With a sound that pushes at the boundaries of rock, metal, and bass music, ‘Burn’ represents the HIGHSOCIETY trademark “DATAMOSH” sound in its ultimate form,” explains HIGHSOCIETY. “I had a blast running absolutely wild within the “electronicore” framework and I’m thrilled to have produced a song that belongs in mosh pits and nightclubs alike. As a lifelong fan of the band, working with Escape The Fate’s Craig Mabbitt is an absolute dream come true, and the creative peak of my career thus far. If you like aggressive guitar-driven breakdowns with a bass-heavy foundation, get ready to set your ears on fire with ‘Burn!’”

Producing an album has been a long-time goal of mine, and the team at FiXT have revealed themselves to be trusted allies to support me in reaching a new frontier of the HIGHSOCIETY universe.
