How the Beautiful Decay
Lightworker |
5:26 |
Life deals us pain and joy in equal measure. Lightworker explore and examine both of these extremes in their music. The San Francisco, CA trio—Joe Calderon [vocals], Grayson Hurd [guitar], and Ryan Johnson [drums]—pull inspiration from hardship. Balancing such dynamics, they ignite magnetic melodies atop an incendiary hybrid of bludgeoning metal and bold post-hardcore. Generating millions of streams, packing shows, and earning critical acclaim from The Pit, HM Magazine, and more, the band bring a dynamic vision to life on their second full-length offering, How The Beautiful Decay.
“When we were first discussing the musical direction and what the record would be about, the title How The Beautiful Decay popped into my head and stayed there,” recalls Grayson. “‘Decay’ suggests changing and withering over time. Often, you don’t notice until years down the line that it started a long time ago. We noticed the decay happening in our lives. During the Pandemic, we felt decay because we couldn’t see friends and family and were stuck in our homes for a period. It wasn’t until we had begun writing the record when we noticed the change in our lives, for better or worse. Once we were really writing the record, the title applied to what we were going through and had gone through in the prior two years. The record is about recognizing the beauty in the world, but still acknowledging the darkness without fear. A big theme is doing whatever you can in order to get through it.”
