Wretched - Decay (Official Video)

Wretched's fifth album Decay, released October 17 on Metal Blade, is a concept record exploring existential themes, D&D‑inspired mythology, and personal loss. The band—featuring guitarist Steven Funderburk, bassist Andrew Grevey, drummer Marshall Wieczorek, and vocalist Billy Powers—crafted a sonic journey that blends haunting melodies with progressive complexity, delivering a raw yet pristine sound. The album’s narrative centers on the character Malus, whose decaying existence and quest for redemption intertwine with the story of Beyond The Gate, creating a thematic bridge between the two releases.
