The dark electronic\/aggrotech act Dawn Of Ashes<\/strong> (DOA) have released a new single entitled \u2018Viral Decay\u2019 today. The second track to be issued from forthcoming new album \u2018Anatomy Of Suffering\u2019, it captures the ugliness, exhaustion and isolation of inner decay while fully embracing the classic DOA sound – harsh synths, aggressive rhythms and oppressive atmospheres – and paying homage to their genre\u2019s old-school brutality.

\u201c\u2018Viral Decay’ is a confrontation with inner darkness; not a glorification of death, but a sonic descent into mental corrosion,\u201d<\/em> explains DOA founder and frontman Kristof Bathory. \u201cIt explores the slow mental collapse caused by overwhelming despair and suicidal ideation. Through visceral imagery and repetition, it portrays a mind infected by hopelessness, emotional numbness and self-destruction, exposing the brutal reality of living inside a breaking mind.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Viral Decay\u2019 follows the recent \u2018Penumbra (feat. Suicide Commando)\u2019 STREAM<\/a>, a powerful collaboration with the veteran Belgian artist Johan Van Roy. Both songs are available on \u2018Anatomy Of Suffering\u2019, a new album by DOA out on 20th March. A darker, heavier, and more focused chapter in the group’s evolution, it brings together raw atmosphere with precision production and features some notable collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
