Warren Jones (Guitar) – “Death by design was a very smooth and enjoyable song to record. Playing it live is even better. Even though Death By Design is so enjoyable, it has a darker meaning of we were designed to behave a certain way in society and contribute to a system that has crushed our dreams and aspirations. Death By Design's intentions is to give some hope, that those seeking to make a difference in their lives don’t stand alone.”
Daniel Philogene (Drums) – “Death By Design has been a great song to work on as it's our first recorded song as the new band line-up. It feels as it's shaped Truth Decayed into a more solid direction of where the music is going. It's a very groovy and powerful song with super memorable vocals. Having used live performances to test the waters with new material, Death by design has only had very positive feedback from our audience.”
Renz Kruger (Bass) – “For me as the newest member of Truth Decayed, the recording process for Death By Design was extremely smooth and very enjoyable. Death By Design has got some brutal guitar riffs and some slick solo parts along with some smooth and groovy bass lines that blends in well with some dynamic drumming elements and not to mention, powerful and deep lyrics. Mix that all up together in a big pot and you get … Death By Design. Playing Death By Design live especially is even more enjoyable as the vibe and energy with the crowd participation is powerful and extremely fulfilling.”
Ryno Theron (Vocals & Guitar) – “I feel Death By Design 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.”
lyrics
Architects of life, empowering, the oppressing kind
Creating uncertainty, leeching, destroying your dreams
Apoptosis, hypnosis
Trigger the cells impulse
Entangling life's repulse
Ceasing to form at all
Apoptosis, forming the call
Inducing, psychosis
Death by design
You're running out of time
Racing to the grave
To the ego, you're a slave
Forming your core too late
Deciding life through hate
Broken promises are a state
Sealing your broken fate
Inducing, psychosis
Death By Design
You're running out of time
Racing to the grave
To the ego you're a slave
Death by design
Death by design
Death by design
Death by design
Death by design
