London trio Decommissioned Forests to release second album, Industry

Industry (Liquid Len Recording Company) is the forthcoming album from London trio Decommissioned Forests: an ambient-infused, post-industrial journey through uneasy electronica, accompanied by a sometimes bleak, sometimes hopeful spoken-word narration.

Decommissioned Forests is a collaboration between post-progressive multi-instrumentalist Daniel Vincent (The Resonance Association), industrial electro-punk Max Rael (History Of Guns) and experimental musician, CG artist, and film-maker Howard Gardner (Non-Bio, Pillars of Golden Misery).

Brought together by a shared love of outsider luminaries such as Coil, Brian Eno, Current 93, Cluster, Nine Inch Nails, Aphex Twin, Nurse With Wound, and Throbbing Gristle, they have been making music together since 2018.

The album has been preceded by the release of three video singles: ‘Ants Part 1 – Our Last Supper’ (December 2021); ‘Drop Brick’ (January 2022); and the unsettling ten-minute film accompanying ‘A Comforting Uncertainty’ (February 2022).

Three recently completed video interviews with the members discussing Industry are also now available:
Interview #1: Daniel Vincent | Interview #2: Howard Gardner | Interview #3: Max Rael
Industry is released via Bandcamp 1st April 2021, both digitally and as physical compact disc, with presales available now.
