MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: Amps Kill - Rage/Decay

 


Rage/Decay by Amps Kill is not a song for the squeamish upmost you. It is a wonderfully dark and disturbing reflection on the 2020 lockdown. 

The work juxtaposes instances of deep serenity against instances of overwhelming fury and disorder. Through the use of death and decay as a symbol for the gradual decay of society caused by misinformation and lack of empathy, the lyrics convey the loss of a greater understanding of truth. A splendidly crafted track that is guaranteed to give you the willies. Don’t listen while having your lunch though. 


Amps Kill is a boundary-pushing, post-industrial, experimental electronic solo project helmed by composer, improvisor, and audio engineer, Stephen Bailey.
