LOUDBLAST, eine der dienstältesten Thrash-Death Bands Frankreichs hat ihre neue, die sechzehnte (!) Full-Length Scheibe namens “Altering Fates And Destinies“ für den 25. Oktober geplant. Für den neuen nicht allzu Old School-mäßig ausgefallenen Track `Putrid Age of Decay` hat die Band ein Video produziert, das ihr hier sehen könnt.
LOUDBLAST erklären zum Song:
„The lyrics in „Putrid Age Of Decay“ present the listener with a meditation on mortality. The inescapability of death is a recurring motif in all forms of art, as is our reaction and response to it as individuals, be it blind panic, rationalisation or the steely resolve of the stoic. These dark shades of grey allow the lyrical tapestry to convey a sense of despair and impending doom throughout the piece. Despite these relentlessly dark themes, the song closes with an acceptance to face the end, with a paradox of sorts that hopes in the darkness through defiant resolve. “

Lyrics:
Ushering in the putrid age of decay
Can you will death’s transformation away?
The ominous presence of a lengthening shadow
Gathers your comrades and family
For the privilege to be forgotten
Exit stage left from history
With a burden of unanswered questions
Inexorably betrayed
Joy and sorrow, our bodies carried
Foolish games we like to play
As the sands of time slipping away
Remnants of dreams and reality
Nameless ghosts of a phantom horizon
Following them to be, nevermore
Daylight fades – I resent this inversion
But I’m not afraid of the call
Ushering in the putrid age of decay
Can you will death’s transformation away?
