Decadence wishes you all a happy new year. Here follows our first update for 2012.
The new album is progressing and we are currently looking into distribution possibilities and other administrative work related to the release. It is already clear that the new album will also be available through our website for quick shipping everywhere. No quantity limits will appear when ordering this album as was the case with ‘Chargepoint’. The music material is finished but still we are not yet ready for the release. As this album will present Decadence in its finest days we don’t want to rush the final recording. Later on we will inform about the final release date.
We have also news in the line-up. The band is now strengthened by introducing an additional guitarist sided along Kenneth Lantz, his name is Kristian Järvenpää. Welcome on board! Further, Erik Röjås, our drummer during many years has now engaged in other music projects and has decided to leave the band. The new drummer of Decadence will be presented soon.
Considering the above mentioned news as a whole it is clear that the new album will have a fresh start with a new five-piece line-up and great new intense material.
On the 7th of December Decadence will be on stage at Göta Källare in cold Stockholm, Sweden. Machine Rock Magazine celebrates its second issue and has invited Decadence and Sterbhaus as special guests to perform on this event, presented by myjam. This is probably the final appearance before we enter the studio. To make this night unique and different, we will perform some songs we have not preformed live in years, maybe never…! Also, we will not be a quartet as Kristian Järvenpää will be joining us as our new session guitarist, welcome onboard Chris! So, don’t miss out, be there and experience this special and rare Deca show with us.
Stay tuned, more info about the event itself will be up soon.
Two years have passed since the release of the album ‘Chargepoint’ by Decadence from Stockholm, Sweden. Many have let us know that the album is appreciated and we got positive feedback through reviews and interviews. We now gladly announce that the first single entitled ‘Vulture’ from Decadence upcoming album is released today on September 26, 2011.
Femme Metal Records has released this exclusive single on their special 2011 compilation album ‘Melody and Malice’. The compilation is released in the UK (distributed by Code 7 via Plastic Head) and in Germany (distributed by Twilight in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands). The profits from the sales will be donated to charity; National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
The single version is different from the album version so this is a special occasion to experience Decadence before the 5th album is released. You can check out a preview of the track on YouTube: http://bit.ly/mWlk85
For eight years Decadence has worked with licensing and distribution deals, not signing, and has marked its brand in the modern Underground scene. The upcoming album aims to show and inspire others that there is nothing to fear by being independent.
In reviews of ‘Chargepoint’ one could read e.g: “Fiercely independent. Iron willed determination. Melodic thrash precision. /…/ Having done things on their own terms for the past several years, Their music belongs to the more elegant end of the thrash spectrum, oozing melody and sudden technical finesse, aggression and exuberance. Decadence are poised to carve a niche for themselves in the thrash genre”. – Maximum Metal Webzine
Words like this have inspired the next album and we in Decadence hope the single will give our listeners a sense of that.
Decadence is confirmed and will be playing at the Halloween Cruise on the Rockbitch Boat – a cruise between Stockholm, Sweden and Riga, Latvia. We will be sharing the stage with, among others, Engel, Sister Sin, Man.Machine.Industry, Degradead and a total of 30 bands on this brutal 40 hour Metal cruise! Don’t miss out, check the booking info to get hold of tickets and cabins.
Decadence will be on stage on October 29, 2011 at 10 p.m.
We just got back to Sweden yesterday evening after having spent a great weekend in Lithuania and the Devilstone Open Air festival.
We would like to thank everyone involved in making Devilstone happen and to the organizers for inviting us to perform. We met some great people over there and we are appreciate all the support we got for our first show and appearance in Lithuania (also special thanks to Savage Messiah, you know why!).
We are glad to announce that we will pay a visit to Lithuania for first time! We have been invited by Devilstone Open Air Festival in Anyksciai, Lithuania on Saturday, July 16, 2011 for one exclusive show in the Baltic States. Stay tuned at Devilstone’s official website, HERE.
Among others we will share the stage with Benediction, our partners in crime from Earache Records ‘Thrashing Like A Maniac’-compilation: Gama Bomb and Mutant, also some Swedish bands such as Ondskapt, In Mourning – and many more!
Today we announced at Facebook that we are officially looking for a guitarist. Read the ad here (also in Swedish at Facebook):
Here we don’t think Decadence need a presentation. Our hope is that the person we are looking for has heard of us already. Our music is more technically suited for two guitarists, and considering our upcoming events, it’s time for us to find a new guitarist with Thrash- and Death Metal in the blood. We want you to feel comfortable with rhythm.
We want to know why you want to be part of Decadence so give a description of it to us and why you want to join. We would like you to be between 20-30 years old and include information about your qualifications, studio experience, live experience and the like. Send a picture of yourself and preferably a clip where you play, possibly a demo. We need a guitarist who is willing to put 100% into the band.
