DECADENCE To Record New Single This Month

February 3, 2011

Swedish female-fronted melodic thrashers DECADENCE have issued the following update:

"The first single off DECADENCE's new (fifthh!) album will be recorded during February 18-20 at West Wood Music. Producer in charge: Victor Meding, co-produced by Kenneth Lantz.

"This exclusive single will be released by U.K.-based label Femme Metal Records on their special 2011 compilation album, scheduled on September 26th. The compilation will be released in the U.K. (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.

"This single version will be different from the album version so don't miss out on this special occasion before the fifth basher is unleashed!"

Guitarist Niklas Skogqvist left DECADENCE in December. The band previously stated, "Nicke felt that he had too many things going on in his life. He said DECADENCE needs a guitarist that gives 100% which he says he was not able to do."

Regarding a possible replacement guitarist, DECADENCE said, "We have not yet decided if we will continue as a quartet. In fact, our music is more technically suited for two guitarists and we might therefore need a second guitarist again."

The band added, "We will enter the studio for our fifth album as a quartet, same as with 'The Creature', '3rd Stage Of Decay' and 'Chargepoint'. The new tracks are being polished at the moment and we are really looking forward to sharing it all with you on our next album with a secret title so far. The title of '3rd Stage Of Decay' symbolized so well who we are and this next title will, too!"

DECADENCE's "Silent Weapon (For A Quiet War)" video can be viewed below. The clip was shot in 2009 with producer Helena Starenby.

"Silent Weapon (For A Quiet War)" comes off DECADENCE's fourth album, "Chargepoint", which was released in October 2009 via the Japanese label Spiritual Beast.

DECADENCE's third album, "3rd Stage of Decay", which was originally released in 2006 through HTI Records, was reissued on August 28, 2008 via Massacre.
