The USA-based industrial metal project Dekay has released its Start The Rot album (via Sliptrick Records), which grapples with weighty themes that resonate with many of us. The album takes a deep dive into the existential crises - facing humanity today and how our ambitions can often lead to our destruction. We become slaves to our desires, sacrificing authenticity for hollow pursuits like power and fame. The underlying message is stark: if we fail to recognize these destructive patterns, we may create a paradise for decay, where our choices ultimately lead us to extinction.
In its entirety, Start The Rot is more than just an album; it is a reflective journey that captures the tumultuous landscape of modern existence. Through its raw and introspective lyrics, it delves into themes of self-destruction, anxiety, betrayal, and societal decay. It encourages listeners to confront their fears and challenges while providing a soundtrack to the chaos surrounding them. Link
