Chicago-based industrial metal band DERISION CULT is gearing up for the release of their highly anticipated new EP Mercenary Notes Pt 2, set to drop on March 14, 2025 via Glitch Mode Recordings. Leading the charge is their new single, "Radiation Blues," a brooding, atmospheric track that blends heavy industrial beats with introspective lyrics and the distinctive guitar work of Reeves Gabrels (DAVID BOWIE, THE CURE).
"Radiation Blues" showcases DERISION CULT’s signature fusion of thrash-inspired guitar riffs and dark, industrial soundscapes, with influences drawn from artists like TOM WAITS and MINISTRY. The song captures a haunting reflection on the disorienting effects of living in a hyperconnected, media-driven world, where the relentless barrage of information often leaves us feeling overwhelmed and fatigued. Frontman Dave McAnally delivers a powerful vocal performance, reflecting on the existential toll of a society consumed by soundbytes and short-form communication. Gabrels’ masterful guitar solos cut through the track with unsettling intensity, adding to the sense of unease and tension.
