If you are looking for a rock instrumental track to hop on to, then ‘Rive’ by MARSUG is the one you should listen to. MARSUG is the music project of Canadian artist Matt Mars, who writes, produces, and releases his own music under the name. Based in British Columbia, Matt started MARSUG in 2024 and has been exploring a mix of electronic, phonk, synthwave, rock, and game-inspired sounds through the project. His music has appeared in his indie game projects, including Best Hero, Best Hero: Endless Run, Neon Kitty Blast, and Marsug Survivor, giving the project a strong connection to game and cinematic music.
“MARSUG gives us a cinematic instrumental where soft piano, crashing drums, and rock-fuelled emotions meet in one bittersweet ride.”
MARSUG recently released ‘Rive’, an instrumental track from the album ‘Marsug’, bringing together the softer side of Matt’s production with heavier rock and metal-inspired elements. ‘Rive’ feels like a track about sitting with your emotions, especially that quiet kind of melancholy that isn’t necessarily dark but still stays with you. The piano sets the mood beautifully with its calm notes, and then the drums and heavier rock elements start giving the track some real muscle. The metal-inspired touches add a nice edge and keep you entertained throughout. By the end, ‘Rive’ leaves behind a strange mix of calm and heaviness, and you should experience it once if you love emotional music.
