Your Own Decay

Your Own Decay is a dark electronic project that began around 2010, led by producer and vocalist Raven Blackmore. Their 2012 album 'Electronic Porn' gave the group its most recognizable track, a song that became something of a calling card for their abrasive, confrontational style. The music tends toward industrial textures and themes that some listeners have found deliberately provocative.

Beyond the title track, songs like 'feed Me', 'Mutilation Never Enough', and 'Machine' follow a similar vein of harsh electronics and stark lyrical imagery. The project's later albums, 'Edge of the Abyss' in 2015 and 'Decadence and Decay' in 2018, continued working with these sonic and thematic materials. Their live shows developed a reputation for intensity that sometimes made booking difficult.

Your Own Decay's work has drawn criticism for its explicit content, particularly around 'Electronic Porn'. The group has generally treated this as part of their artistic stance rather than a problem to solve. They've maintained a specific, uncompromising sound that found an audience among listeners drawn to darker corners of electronic music.
