Perth’s metal elite Make Them Suffer have just shared their new song “Soul Decay”. The song lives on the quintet’s forthcoming album, How To Survive A Funeral, which arrives on July 24.
Following on from singles “Erase Me” and “Drown With Me“, “Soul Decay” is yet another beastly taste of what’s to come. With its surging riff and addictive chorus, “Soul Decay” tells an all-too familiar story of watching someone deteriorate while struggling to recognise the pattern of failure is often at one’s own hand.
“Soul Decay is about watching someone deteriorate in front of you,” says frontman Sean Harmanis. “Many struggle to recognise that a recurring pattern of failure or disappointment is their often own doing. To bear the blame of your own mistakes is something that’s difficult for most people. The lyric, ‘You built yourself this prison. Tear it down, burn it to the fucking ground’ is a call to action to rise above and accept your part.
