The USA-based industrial metal project Derision Cult released a new single, "Warning Signs (JKFleshmix)", a high-octane industrial rockabilly anthem reworked by none other than Justin Broadrick, the legendary mind behind Godflesh and Jesu. The track comes from the EP, Mercenary Notes Pt 2, set for release on 14 March 2025, via Glitchmode Recordings.
Justin Broadrick, renowned for his innovative approach to soundscapes, brings an electrifying energy to "Warning Signs". His previous collaboration with Derision Cult—on the horror-themed mix of "Slaves Rebuild"—garnered widespread acclaim. This latest endeavour pushes boundaries even further, blending jackhammer guitars, thunderous beats, and spoken-word vocals into an unrelenting sonic assault.
Lyrically, "Warning Signs" serves as both a wake-up call and a reflection on the cultural and societal tipping points we face. The haunting chorus, "Is it getting real enough yet?", is inspired by an unforgettable real-life moment. Dave McAnally, the mastermind behind Derision Cult, draws from a story shared by his brother, a Naval EOD officer. Witnessing the harsh realities of war, a Navy SEAL's biting remark to a shaken Hollywood director served as a raw and chilling foundation for the song's themes.
