After the stout impetus and triumph of ‘Faded Visions I’ in 2022, the KZN-based Thrash quartet is primed and set to elevate things to a blistering next level with ‘Faded Visions II’ now available on all digital platforms.

Ryno Theron (Vocals & Guitar) feels that “Faded Visions II is the most collaborative EP we've worked on to date. With big contributions from all the members making for a fuller sound that still represents Truth Decayed, but in a bigger way. The songs on this second installment I are more personal this time around, as opposed to where we wrote more from a commentary standpoint. I feel this is our best work to date, and the feedback from our first single Death By Design seems to validate that so far. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the EP just as much, or even more!”

Renz Kruger (Bass) shares that “Faded Visions II has phenomenal, hard-hitting powerful punching tunes, guaranteed to get your head into heavy headbanging mode. We worked hard to design each song to be as pleasing to your ears as possible, and get you pumped at the same time!”

Warren Jones (Guitar) adds that “These songs came from a place of personal development and experiences and lean towards something that all of us experience on a day-to-day basis. It was also great working with this solid lineup. During recording sessions and playing live we enjoyed each other’s company. Each of us brought great valued input to creating these new tracks!”

Track Listing

1. ‘Separate Reality’ (04:06)
   • ...is about life experiences, from drug and alcohol using or even an embarrassing situation can leave one in a place where you can’t escape from. You stuck in your mind and in that experience until dealt with or wears off.
2. ‘Death By Design’ (04:11)
   • ...captures the sound of Truth Decayed's most solid and cohesive lineup to date. It has become somewhat of an anthem at live shows, and the crowd's reaction really makes us feel it was a step in the right direction.”
3. ‘Vicious Circles’ (04:11)
   • featuring Ebony Aberdein from famed South African Blackened Death Metal Band Theatre Runs Red. This is about going round and around; the same excuses, same situations … ...always everyone else’s fault! We have all experienced people and situations like these!
4. ‘Narcissist’ (04:22)
   • ...is about horrible selfish people. The situations and experiences we all deal with daily. Either we are narcissist, or victims to it.
