Las Vegas-based artist Decadon drops his debut full-length album “Lovely Destruction,” a deeply personal 20-track journey that represents his unique sonic style. He has become known for mixing dubstep and melodic bass with his rock music roots, and the body of work is a dynamic representation of all of the above. From the ominous beginning of “Fragile State of Mind” to the punk-rock lyrics mixed with stabbing bass in “My Ever After” and the ethereal, digitized bass of “Talking to Myself,” Decadon’s genre-bending sonic range is nothing short of impressive. “Lovely Destruction” took almost 3 years to bring to life following the death of Decadon‘s father in 2020, and the depth of his emotions while creating this therapeutic project reverberates through each track. By the closing notes of “Save Me,” you can feel the healing that occurred throughout the process of the album, and Decadon hopes that the album will serve as an emotional outlet to others as well.
“This body of work is extremely important to me because it was something my father and I talked about putting together for years. I always wanted my debut album to really show both sides of the music I love. There’s beauty in destruction, even though it’s tougher to see, it’s there. The album truly reaches across a wide range of sounds, I’m so proud of it. This album started as a collection of a few songs I had written very soon after losing my father in 2020. It was my therapy, and then as the music started to flow more and build upon one another, I started seeing a body of work forming.” – Decadon
