Rock’ n Roll has always been known for its rebellious and authentic nature, and the Munic-based band Kings of Decay holds that very description. Coming from a 20-year-long history, Felix, Stefan, Michi, and Blöcki have come together to give us a proper throwback to the fiery spirit of 90s rock n’ roll. King of Decap drops Glorious Demise, and we are awed for sure.
The track “Glorious Demise” brings your attention to a serious issue to tackle these days – having lost someone dear to them through this, the band’s direct exploration of drug addiction is a bold move to deliver a personal message that this dark matter is destructive. This track is definitely polished to perfection. Though produced in their own studio, the legendary man Alex Klier used his magic to make this track even more powerful, taking full advantage of the powerful emotional core of this music. With its sound, a potent combination of punk and metalcore, this production exemplified the grit and anguish that this track carries, delivering a powerful performance as you listen.
“This song is our hardest release to date,” shared the band. This is due to the fact that this song is also their story; it’s a part of them that bears a strong hold on their lives. This track is more than just a song for the band; it is also a tool that manages to process their grief when they experience the hardest phase of their lives. This track is authentic, as the band carefully opened up and unflinchingly showed their vulnerability through it, making it more personal and connecting to the audience.
With Glorious Demise, Kings of Decay have proven that punk rock can still thrive in the music scene, no matter how saturated the industry can get. Their unique musicality and commitment to their music make it a great deal to tackle and make a powerful statement relating to some difficult subjects in society.
