After two years of work, the metal giants from Charlotte (NC), WRETCHED, unveil Decay, their fifth album, to be released on October 17 via Metal Blade Records. A prequel to Beyond The Gate (2010), this conceptual album explores existential themes, mythology inspired by D&D, and personal loss. With haunting melodies and progressive complexity, Decay pushes the boundaries of their previous works. Recorded with an organic approach, the sound remains raw and alive: Steven Funderburk's incisive guitar, Andrew Grevey's inventive bass, and Billy Powers' visceral vocals create a rare powerful ensemble. For WRETCHED, Decay embodies their essence: groove, speed, heaviness, and emotion.
