Stream ‘Cabaret of Decay’ exclusively via REVOLVER Magazine right here.
 
Speaking about the new release and the creative process behind the record, the band shares, “In writing Cabaret of Decay we realized we shared a very specific vision for the music to somehow capture the essence of a destabilizing world— the breakdown of social order and law, systems dissolving into chaos and a helplessly obsessed humanity dancing amid a burning, crumbling metropolis. You can hear it in the sound of the music and you can see it in Paolo Girardi’s oil painting cover art that brought this hellscape to life.”
 
“When creating dark heavy metal, it’s all too often that the spirit and subject matter of your work becomes suddenly realized in the world around you. We could have never imaged our vision for this record would become so suddenly and powerfully realized in a deadly global plague—a fallout that’s tapped the very core of our creative intent. These are the moments where metal music is at its most potent and relevant. These are the times where life mimics art in the most profound of ways.”

About HATCHETS FOR HANDS:
Formed in San Francisco, California in 2009, Hatchets For Hands is the project of musician/producers Brian Parks and Cullen Poythress. Driven by a mutual obsession for authentic musicianship and heavy metal, the band is defined by familiar elements of American thrash, grindcore, and traditional death metal mixed with the soaring leads and darkened melodies associated with Northern Europe’s more melodic exports.
