Some songs feel like a door opening. "Dark Tetrad" isn’t a door. It’s a crack. And what peers through it isn’t just something; it’s a creature in transformation.
The first encounter isn’t immediate; it’s uncertain. A digital flicker, a subtle hum that seems to exist outside of time, outside of the body. It’s as if the world is shifting shape and you can barely notice. Then, without warning, the rhythm emerges: drums that don’t march, but move like part of an exile, a quiet escape into the unknown.
The voice cuts through with the weight of something unsaid. It doesn’t sing, doesn’t beg. It declares. It carries something heavy, an emotion that won’t easily surrender. Every word is a rope cast into an empty space, trying to latch onto something that’s no longer there. But the ground beneath it cracks: everything starts to fall apart.
Guitars become whips, screams are released not for understanding, but for liberation. The song doesn’t explode; it implodes. It closes in on itself, and in that collapse, finds its fury. There are no concessions. No escape points. Just a tension that forces you to stay.
But just when the destruction seems complete, something changes. The noise pulls back like a heavy tide, replaced by dry, almost skeletal percussion. What was once a scream is now a whisper. What was once a threat becomes an invocation. The voices merge, unravel, duplicate. It’s as if the soul of the track is trying to remember who it was before the disaster.
What follows is the final shift: a violence that doesn’t come from the outside but from within. The sound bites, pushes, devours. And then… silence. Silence that doesn’t comfort, but leaves questions hanging like open wounds.
"Dark Tetrad" doesn’t just play in your ears. It settles in. It stays. It’s more than a song: it’s a moving metaphor about identity, loss, and the monstrous. Kids in Decay aren’t trying to please, nor even convince. They’re building a new language from the ruins. And what comes next — if this is just the beginning — could be one of the most visceral works of the year.
