DECAYEDen

"Dead Angels & Forgotten Ghosts" (Album, 2013)

Self Release

Take the experimental metal of Concrete Lung, the kicking-against-the-shit-of-the-world attitude of Velvet Acid Christ and splice with Snog's biting cynicism, and you'll be getting closer to having some kind of impression of the soundscapes that American citizen Jeremiah Saint, aka DECAYEDen, conjures up out of his dark alchemy on this, his debut album. There are two versions available - a fifteen track CD or a twenty track digital download. The resolutely Stygian gloom that's created is embracing and enveloping rather than depressing or alienating. It firmly occupies the mid-tempo territory, so particularly appeals to me. Dense and multi-layered as if every track already sounds like a remix, DECAYEDen is Saint's vehicle for his dark side - his 'discotheque of discontent'. 7/10
