Kids In Decay channel chaos and catharsis on explosive new single ‘Cue The Cronies’

Kids In Decay unveil a masterclass in tension and release with ‘Cue The Cronies’, threading cinematic atmosphere through the veins of progressive metal with the precision of seasoned storytellers. It’s a mood shift, a confrontation, a reckoning with internal chaos set to a backdrop of intricate instrumentation and emotional weight.

This isn’t your standard headbanger. Instead, the track unfurls like a pressure system- calm in its early moments, almost fragile, before ripping the sky open with searing distortion and primal catharsis. There’s a slow-burning angst that builds beneath the surface, then erupts in crushing waves of sound, held together by a rhythm section that pulses with unsettling intent. Guitars bend between clarity and chaos, while the vocals rise like a voice trapped between worlds.

Ethereal passages give way to brute force. Delicate harmonics dissolve into roaring walls of sound. Through it all, the band navigate emotional terrain that feels deeply personal; grief, rage, isolation, defiance. The track is reminiscent of projects from the visionary Maynard James Keenan with its dynamic tension and conveying visceral and deep emotions.

If ‘Cue The Cronies’ is any indication, the imminent forthcoming album ‘Breaking Radio Silence’ will be a true statement of purpose. A sonic exorcism for those unafraid to face the dark and find something beautiful in the wreckage.
