Futile Devices

The Age of Decay is my final chapter exploring the concept of Decay. It is a part of the Apocalypse arc of albums: Despair, Decay, and next: Revenge.

While The Light at the End of Decay is about finding hope at the end of the apocalypse, The Age of Decay is about the here and now. This EP is about living while the apocalypse is happening all around you and the feelings that come with it: anger, anxiety, melancholy, loss, love.

When I wrote The Light at the End of Decay, there were several songs I loved that I was unable to finish in time for the album's release. One of the songs, Decay, was literally where I got the title of the album from!! Instead of scrapping the songs or repurposing them, I wanted to keep them in tact as canon parts of the Decay storyline.

I also decided to use this EP as an opportunity to shed light on some of my favorite The Light at the End of Decay songs (and Pay No Mind) by getting them remixed. Each remix is paired with an artist I love with a song I feel really fit their vibe.

Track 1 is dedicated to Robert Garcia, a friend I lost to the Age of Decay (1989-2012)
