UK DECAY
for madmen only
Release Date: 27/04/2009
an absolute classic on cd for the first time ever. this 19 track cd compiles uk decay's one and only album 'for madmen only', the 'rising from the dead' 12' on crass offshoot label corpus christi plus tracks from 'the black 45' 7" and 'for my country' 7". uk decay were one of the original bands to cross over from punk to what was then becoming called 'gothic' in the late 70's. the music is both atmospheric and high energy and complex, an obvious graduation from typical punk music. the album, originally released on fresh records in 1981 is an absolute classic post-punk / gothic crossover album. standout tracks on the cd are 'werewolf' which is a long epic about the bestial horror of humanity, the upbeat and anthemic 'for my country' which we loved so much we included on our rough trade 'post punk' compilation and album opener 'duel' which rumbles with a bottom end so thick and ghoulish. the cd comes housed with a fold sleeve featuring the lyrics.
