Prepare to be immersed in a world of sonic extremity with Edmonton, Canadaâs death metal titans, and mega nerds, Display Of Decay, and their fourth album âVitriolâ hitting the shelves later this year. They have released a single âThe Butcherâ already and now the second âHarbingerâ will continue to engulf listeners in thunderous drums, ferocious guitars, guttural vocals, and gory and nerdy lyrics. The band shares whatâs in store:
âHarbinger is definitely one of the most technically challenging songs, if not the MOST technically challenging on the record. A frenzy from start to finish, this track features a wide range of dynamics stretching from sweep picking, and octaves, to full-on chaos! Lyrically, itâs entirely based on Mass Effect and the Reaper invasion, because as previously mentioned, nerds.â
Since forming in 2007, right out of high school, Display of Decay has stayed true to their groovy old-school death metal sound as a base and increasing intensity, technicality, and quality as theyâve gone on. In âVitriolâ they show off faster riffs, more experimentation, and varied lyrical themes. Every song on the album is so unique that it feels like a new experience every single track. The band owes this to never going into the writing process under the expectation of writing something a certain way or having a prescribed formula. The eight songs flow cohesively from track to track while each has its own special added elements.
The lyrical content on âVitriolâ covers a variety of topics ranging from pop culture references like Diablo & Mass Effect to darker undertones of the mainstream media’s obsession with school shootings and other acts of senseless violence that are continuously looped for ratings evidently posing a risk of reproduction. It is recommended for fans of Dying Fetus, Immolation, and Pantera.

âVitriolâ is due out on October 20, 2023 via Gore House Productions and is available for pre-order at https://orcd.co/vitriolâ
