Post-Punk.com states: “This track delves deep into the human condition, touching on themes of decline and emotional turmoil with a touch both heavy and poetic. It’s an evocative soundtrack for the moments when life’s burdens weigh heavily, yet strangely beautifully. The vocals waver with a nostalgic vulnerability, reminiscent of the wistful tones found in The Beatles’s »Across The Universe« and the pensive strains of Kurt Cobain’s »All Apologies«.”
Jobst M. Feit (guitar, vocals) comments: “I was initially unsure about the song being on the album because it sounds so different, but everyone else was totally convinced. Now i am really happy that we picked it as the opening track. It acts like a gateway into the album, as it sounds so soft and innocent meanwhile being very dystopian on the lyrical level. It was exciting to find the right visual world for the song’s story together with our director Nicolai Hildebrandt, and in my mind, both elements form such a strong connection that it feels like the images have always been there. I really encourage you to read the lyrics while watching the video.”

Music and lyrics written and performed by Jobst M. Feit, Chris Breuer and Peter Voigtmann. Recorded by Peter Voigtmann at Die Mühle, Gyhum, Germany. Mixed and mastered by Joe Joaquin at Custom Mojo MK III, Ulm, Germany.
Death By Gong are a new band featuring Jobst M. Feit (Radare), Peter Voigtmann (SHRVL / ex-The Ocean) and Chris Breuer (Zahn, Heads.). »Descalator« is driven by a tension of heavyness and vulnerability, fusing the epic sound of Failure or Torche with the soft vocal delivery and song craftsmanship of Elliott Smith, shoegaze guitar clouds in the vein of My Bloody Valentine or DIIV and synthetic textures that could have been penned by Geoff Barrow (Portishead, Beak). A sonic exploration of human decline in all its facets.
The album was recorded by Peter Voigtmann at Die Mühle in Gyhum and mixed as well as mastered by Joe Joaquin (Slut, Van Holzen, Muff Potter). Artwork and graphic design by Fabian Bremer (AUA, Radare, Velcros).
