News : Western Decay break up

Queensland Thrash metallers WESTERN DECAY have broken up after 4 years in the local scene.

“Western Decay played our final show in December 2007 at Rosies with The Dead, Defamer, Nefaria, and Violent Green. It was after this show that our then-guitarist Josh left the band. Since then we have tried out a number of new guitarist and attempted to keep it progressing. However, after a large period of stagnation, we have decided to call it a day. It has become clear over recent months that as a band we shared different ideas when it came to the direction we wanted to take the band and how seriously we wanted to take it. The vibe has faded and the collective passion is no longer there. We had nearly completed the writing of our album, and we had a bunch of songs that no one outside of the band has ever heard, but unfortunately we feel that it was no longer worth pushing something uphill that was going to obviously going to die sooner or later.”

“Sam, Francis, and Lochlan have already begun work on a new band that will build on the groundwork that we laid together and push ourselves in a more diverse direction under a different name. Keep your eyes and ears peeled, as we plan to officially announce this new band and new material in the coming months, and we will be taking it seriously and professionally from the get go. ”

“Thanks to everyone for the support over the years. Massive thanks to everyone who came to a show, put us on a show, and to anyone that ever purchased a CD, shirt, or even bought us drinks. Thanks to Greg and Josh for previously being a part of this with us, and thanks to Skull And Bones Records for believing in our potential.“
