⚡ NIGHT RIVALS Ignite Retro Rage on “1981 (Hell on Wheels)” ft. Karma’s Vision 💀

A screech of tires. A burst of neon. Then—impact. NIGHT RIVALS returns like a flaming ghost from the VHS graveyard with “1981 (Hell on Wheels),” a pulse-pounding collaboration featuring the chaotic soul-screams of Karma’s Vision. This isn’t just a track. It’s a crash test in synth-drenched vengeance, roaring straight out of a corrupted arcade cabinet.

🧨 From the opening drum beat, you know you’re in for a riot. Drum machines fire like gunshots in a back alley brawl while analog synths flicker like dying streetlights. NIGHT RIVALS conjures a sonic drag race through the wastelands of 1980s sci-fi noir, where every riff sounds like a stolen weapon.

🎤 Karma’s Vision doesn’t sing—they haunt. Their guest vocals bleed between punk fury and cybernetic possession, adding a raw, unfiltered human scream to NIGHT RIVALS’ cold, chrome machinery. It’s the kind of feature that doesn’t just fit—it shreds the seatbelt, flips the car, and walks away laughing.

🔥 The song’s title, “1981 (Hell on Wheels),” isn’t just a nod to the past—it’s a manifesto. This is retrofuture violence at 120 BPM, a track for anyone who ever imagined Mad Max in a nightclub or wished Blade Runner had a mosh pit.

🎧 Favorite Line:

“Burn rubber, break fate—I was born with the engine running.”
(A line that belongs tattooed on the hood of a muscle car.)
