DERISION CULT Releases Explosive New Single "Abdication Day" from Upcoming EP Mercenary Notes Pt 2!

Jason Hesley

Chicago-based industrial rock powerhouse DERISION CULT has dropped their latest single "Abdication Day," a track that promises to captivate listeners with its high-octane energy and profound lyrical themes. The single serves as a precursor to their highly anticipated EP, Mercenary Notes Pt 2, scheduled for release on March 14, 2025, through Glitchmode Recordings.


"Abdication Day" is a frenetic rocker, reminiscent of JUDAS PRIEST’s iconic guitar riffs blended with the live, heavy drum beats that drive the track forward. The song features a dynamic range of vocal styles—from the robotic intonations akin to SKINNY PUPPY to soaring high-octave metal screams. Throughout, heavy guitars dominate, setting a relentless pace that mirrors the song’s message of resistance and self-authenticity.


The lyrics of "Abdication Day" are inspired by a poignant conversation between band founder Dave and his stepson during a flight back from Ireland. Reflecting on the pressures of daily life and societal expectations, Dave recalls advising his stepson on the importance of self-definition, a theme that resonates deeply in the song’s narrative. "It's up to you to define how people see you, so own it," Dave remarked, a line that has since become central to the track's message.
