lowheaven’s new album Ritual Decay embodies the term structured chaos. Known for their live shows called public demonstrations the band has continued to grow. Chemical Pattern has kind of taken on a weight of its own, when you see what's been going on all around us since the beginning of this year. While a significant amount of Ritual Decay is intensely personal, Chemical Pattern is a look outwards. Let's be honest, everything is fucked. And I don't have the way out. Uncertainty is terrifying. Mercy Death feels like the soundtrack to my nightmares. It was one of the songs in the batch, where I realized just how heavy this band was going to be. Our goal was always to find a way to musically transmit what we all felt going on around us, and this one hit the nail on the head. As with a lot of the songs on Ritual Decay, I came in with a rough framework of the lyrics, and then rewrote the whole song the night before recording it. I was spending the late nights in the studio isolated, just pouring over and scrutinizing every line. Every detail. Trying to find a way to free myself. This is the product of that.
