The Decapitators Have Us Rocking Out to Their New Single
Sydney based rock band, DECAPITATORS, have released their debut single “Crystal Math”. The track is a dynamic dancy guitar onslaught, which showcases vocalist Ivan Wowk in it’s rhythmic chanting chorus and echoing guitar layers.
DECAPITATORS are also set to announce a few select tour dates to celebrate the release of their debut single.
The band describes "Crystal Math" as “dynamic, eerie, playfully dissonant and shrouded in breathy mystery.”
“At the time we wrote 'Crystal Math' it felt like all the best bits of the band coming together at once. It was like a manic spacey jam with loud and soft parts taking turns under the spotlight,”said the band. “The essence of this track is in the energy, and making sure that came through on the recording was paramount.”
The track is accompanied by a hypnotic, grungy, Donnie Darko-inspired music video that perfectly encapsulates the stormy sentiment of the song.
DECAPITATORS is the product of a year-long trip to Mexico by two South Coast NSW friends. With no intentions for the music beyond writing songs on cheap guitars to pass the time, the jams quickly became anthems of the trip, and subsequently sentimental souvenirs. After some years of reprising these tunes every weekend upon reunion, Ivan (rhythm guitar and lead vocals) and Thorne (bass and backup vocals) began to dream of audiences beyond their immediate drunken social circles, and recruited two friends, one old (Matt on lead guitar and backing vocals) and one new (Tom on drums) to bolster the ranks.
DECAPITATORS have spent the last year since their formation forging a cult-like following in the dingier parts of Sydney’s Inner West for their dark and harmonically intense brand of rock. With a sound reminiscent of UK garage rock bands of the 80s and 90s, DECAPITATORS’ first official track sees them bursting onto Sydney’s rock scene with a fervour.
