UK Decay today forge ahead with edgy and invigorating songs that raise new hope for the dead as well as hope and celebration for the living. After recording with legendary Grammy award nominated producer Chris Tsangastrides, 2013 saw the arrival of the long awaited follow up album to For Madmen Only. The single “Killer” / “Heavy Metal Jews” gave a taster for the album “New Hope For The Dead” which was released to critical acclaim in Europe and the United States.

The band were always more inclined to the matters of the heart, soaring mind and passionate spirit. But the reformed UK Decay with new drummer Ray Phillpott and guitarist Johnny G pack a real punch into the sound at the live concerts.
