Vicious Rumors - "Celebration Decay" (video)

Father forgive me but who forgives you?
Children murdered for going to school
Attention spans depleted
Human kind defeated

All and all we lost our way, lessons learned
Welcome famine, welcome hate E
Extermination decay

Here comes the flood as the oceans rise
Launch the weapons just to terrorize
The countdown has begun
Leaving out noone

All and all we lost our way, lessons learned
Celebration decay
Welcome famine, welcome hate E
Extermination is our fate

We are the captives of cruelty and pain
Let the scorching sun burn it all away

And in the end they try to blame it on sun
The point of no return, digital disintegration
Are we living in the final days of man
The human race is obsolete

All and all we lost our way, lessons learned
Celebration decay
Welcome famine, welcome hate
Extermination is our fate
All and all we lost our way, lessons learned
Celebration decay
Welcome famine, welcome hate
Extermination is our fate
All and all we lost our way
Welcome famine, welcome hate
Extermination

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή για τους Vicious Rumors μετά από μία τετραετία. Ο διάδοχος του album "Concussion Protocol" (2016) και 13ος συνολικά στουντιακός full length δίσκος των Αμερικανών metallers τιτλοφορείται "Celebration Decay" και κυκλοφόρησε προ μηνός...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Every new album has its own history. This one has a particularly poignant one: Only 20 concerts were planned, which Vicious Rumors wanted to play on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of their 1988 classic "Digital Dictator". "The response was so huge that the 20 shows ended up becoming a staggering 108 gigs", says band leader Geoff Thorpe. "We didn't expect that. And of course it messed up the original schedule for our current album a bit."

Thorpe speaks of "Celebration Decay", his band's new masterpiece. It's release date had to endure a small delay due to the extended anniversary tour, but in the end, hardly any other Vicious Rumors album has benefited so much from a previous concert tour.

Because, according to Thorpe: "On the one hand, we had the chance to bring the entire new Vicious Rumors studio cast on an extensive tour, which is why "Celebration Decay" sounds as dynamic and lively as all the works of our long career. On the other hand, we came through the "Digital Dictator" Concerts always in direct contact with the early influences of the band. Both factors together now form an album that sounds typical of Vicious Rumors and at the same time is full of energy and dynamics. I have to say that I could hardly be more proud!"»
