I do like me a bit of oi oi, two finger salute in the general vicinity of political and social fuckery. Punk music is the perfect conduit, and the Forsaken Profits, from the USA, have released the single “Decayed,” out on Anything But Radio Records, and featuring the talents of Tyler Capehart (vocals), Bryan Kyle (guitar), Jermain Payne (bass) and Joel Perdue (drums).
In true punk fashion, “Decayed” is just a tad over two minutes long, so there is little surprise that this track is a goer from the start. Insane drumming will keep the most critical of headbangers, happily slapping their brains inside their bony casings. The vocals are unapologetic and rough as fuck, like after a night on the turps and with nothing left to lose. The guitars punch you in the guts and, occasionally, delicately scream in your face with excellent riffs.
Now, this could be taken as a song about a zombie apocalypse….. or it could be about the fact that currently the world is more fucked up than ever and we need to do better. The zombies are the faithful willing to go along with genocide and ecological destruction, while having moral compasses looser than a bunch of evangelicals at a youth gathering. Forsaken Profits are loud and brash, and “Decayed” is just we way we like it.
