Nach elf langen Jahren melden sich die US-amerikanischen Groove/Tech Death Metaller WRETCHED am 17. Oktober mit ihrem Album “Decay“ zurück, nachdem ihr aktueller Dreher “Cannibal“ aus dem Jahr 2014 datiert. Mit `Radiance´ stellt das Quartett soeben die nächste vielschichtige Auskopplung im Lyricvideo vor. Zuvor war bereits der Titelsong der neuen Scheibe erschienen.

Zum Konzept hinter Song und Album erklärt die Band:

„RADIANCE is a chapter in our story in which the possessed body and mind of our main character Malus is used by the ancient Necromancer to lure his sibling into his new found lair within Terra Mortuorum. A “land of the dead”. Within the veins of this mountainous lair in which his sister Fragoré has been conjured, the attack begins and the talisman she holds in place of a heart is extracted and fused with Malus’ own. To me, this track represents someone feeling weak and doing everything they can, good or bad, to prove to themselves that they ultimately could do whatever act is in question. Unfortunately in this portion of the story it pertains to the “doing something bad” aspect. And in ones mind, after the fact, they face the truth of what they’ve done and realize what such an action truly took away from them. What it took away from their soul if you will. In the end, the moral of the story is to accept yourself, keep your head, stay focused and do what you know to be right, not what is easy to let yourself do.“
