UNKNOWN RARE GENRE

UNKNOWN RARE GENRE is the culminating, genre-defiant farewell album from Diamondstep, the alias of an experimental electronic artist known for fusing hybrid subgenres, pushing sound design boundaries, and embracing musical ambiguity. Serving as the last official release under the “Diamondstep” name, this LP is both a personal retrospective and a creative sendoff after five years of artistic exploration and identity evolution.

Genre: Undefined by Design

As the title suggests, this album refuses classification. “Diamondstep” was never a strict genre but a self-created term meaning “music with no identity or one that’s hard to define or claim.” The project embraces the fluidity of genre, blending tearout, dubstep, melodic influences, bass experimentation, and sound design extremity into a collection that spans multiple subgenres — possibly within a single track.

Every track in the LP serves a purpose: to embody a different facet of chaos, groove, catharsis, or war-torn emotionality that the artist has embraced during their time under the Diamondstep moniker.

Creative DNA and Artistic Burnout

Over the last five years, Diamondstep’s creative process has been marked by:

• Non-stop remixing and writing
  
  

• Torturing CPUs and crashing systems (blue and green screens alike)
  
  

• Obsessively stacking OTT, Disperser, and hyper-processing chains
  
  

• Pursuing that perfect snare, kick, or final mixdown
  
  

• And most of all, chasing the chaotic beauty of sound design like a mad scientist in a bedroom lab
  
  

The result is a discography full of experimentation, marked by raw dedication and emotional combustion. But that same fire has also led to fatigue, self-questioning, and an eventual realization: this sound, evolved and refined into a new brutalist architecture, no longer fits under the “Diamondstep” identity.

Influences and Evolution

The artist credits Skrillex and Teknoaxe as the sparks that lit the fire, back in 2019–2020. That inspiration pushed the music toward a hyper-aggressive, emotionally charged, sometimes whimsical yet often gut-wrenching style that now outgrows the softness of the “Diamondstep” nameplate.

As the artist puts it:

“My new tongue-tearing, gut-wrenching design doesn’t scream ‘Diamond Duchrodes’ or ‘Diamondsenpai’ anymore.”

Just as tearout artists don’t brand themselves like color bass producers, the alias now feels misleading, like a cozy house that can no longer contain the scale of destruction its creator now wields.

Identity, Legacy, and Letting Go

This album is more than a genre experiment — it’s a personal milestone. It closes a chapter defined by:

• Beta-albums no one remembers
  
  

• Labels like Thorium Audio and digital community growth
  
  

• A name that once stood for exploration, now fully explored
  
  

• The peak of what this alias could ever be
  
  

Through pop culture parallels (like Charlie Morningstar from Hazbin Hotel, and BlitzØ from Helluva Boss), the artist frames their identity as duality-driven — bubbly, hopeful, but also capable of explosive rage and brilliance.

The tone of this LP reflects that: fierce, sincere, emotional, chaotic, joyful, and tragic — sometimes all at once.

Final Message

UNKNOWN RARE GENRE is not just a title — it’s a mission statement, a confession, and a goodbye. Diamondstep ends not because it failed, but because it succeeded so thoroughly that its very name can no longer contain the evolving sound. This final album is a thank-you to fans, friends, labels, and inspirations, and a gateway to a new era, under a new name and vision.

Whether listeners remember the early beta-albums or are only discovering Diamondstep now, this LP encapsulates everything the alias stood for: unpredictability, authenticity, sonic experimentation, and emotional storytelling through distortion, melody, and mayhem.
