Following "Penumbra (feat. Suicide Commando)", Dawn Of Ashes have issued the second track, "Viral Decay", from their new full-length, Anatomy Of Suffering, out on 20 March through Metropolis Records.
The single captures the ugliness, exhaustion and isolation of inner decay while fully embracing the classic Dawn Of Ashes sound - harsh synths, aggressive rhythms and oppressive atmospheres - and paying homage to their genre's old-school brutality.
"'Viral Decay' is a confrontation with inner darkness; not a glorification of death, but a sonic descent into mental corrosion," explains Dawn Of Ashes founder and frontman Kristof Bathory. "It explores the slow mental collapse caused by overwhelming despair and suicidal ideation. Through visceral imagery and repetition, it portrays a mind infected by hopelessness, emotional numbness and self-destruction, exposing the brutal reality of living inside a breaking mind."
The impending album, Anatomy Of Suffering, is a darker, heavier, and more focused chapter in the group's evolution. It brings together raw atmosphere with precision production and features some notable collaborations. Link
