In the brief three song self-titled EP that Kings of Decay announce themselves with, the Munich based rockers return to the classic sound with a certain verve and tenacity that showcases their grittiness. The record is raw and boisterous but also loaded with an emotional core that shines through in the vocal harmonies. From the exuberant and defiant call of “I will never feel alone/ I ride with my friends” on Ride With Your Friends, you can hear the ode to brotherhood with passion and punch.
This record is raucously rebellious, a fun filled ode to rock and roll that sounds like a live recording with the finer touches attached when needed. Combining a mixture of hard rock and grunge sensibilities alongside a hint of power packed pop melodies, this is a fiery piece.
