Quest For Fire by Skrillex | Album Review

The Dubstep powerhouse returns with his first full-length album in 9 years — I never would’ve guessed I’d be reviewing a Skrillex album in 2023. If you rewind back to just over 10 years ago, Sonny Moore dominated the music scene during the dubstep era of the 2010s.
