Slick and powerful, the follow-up "As Nations Decay" takes the band's already pristine production to a new level, while moving their music in new and intriguing directions - such as on "#culturedelete" or the almost ballad-like "Before The Rust" and title track. Fans of the sound of "Blood Sweat And Fear" will hardly be disappointed either, with the inclusion of classic BLAKOPZ cuts like "Behind The Curtain" and “The Beginning”, the jackhammer instrumental "Turn Key Tyranny" or jokingly titled "Business As Usual"... Having collaborated on tracks previously with both FGFC820 and C-LEKKTOR, "As Nations Decay" features 2 fresh collaborations – this time co-written and performed with Russian dark electro outfit SLEETGROUT and Montreal's NITRO/NOISE. The CD version is rounded out by 3 bonus tracks - remixes from the maverick ALTER DER RUINE, CRYOGENIC ECHELON and 2012 touring partners AESTHETIC PERFECTION. Mastered by Jan L of NOISUF-X/X-FUSION, and smoothly illustrated by Nathan Winter of Industriarts Studio (FGFC820, SIN DNA), "As Nations Decay" demonstrates a rapid development in songwriting skills and an increased awareness of vocal delivery that make BLAKOPZ now even more of the finished article than "Blood Sweat And Fear" first suggested – a deeper and richer sound that will surely propel this duo harder and faster towards the more widespread recognition their talents deserve. The initial quantity of 400 copies comes in limited edition 4-panel digipak format – with a slot on the inside cover holding a 6-panel booklet with the full lyrics to the album.
