The song instantly establishes a high-energy and technically proficient tone with its fast-paced percussion and complex math rock guitar riffs. This instrumental prowess lays a solid foundation for the arrival of the vocals, which bring an intense screamo and deathcore aura that infuses the song with unstoppable energy and raw emotion. Listeners are treated to a whirlwind of Machine Head-esque loud guitar riffs from 0:33 to 0:43, which immerse them in a groovy yet chaotic environment that highlights the band&#8217;s creative vitality. With a distinct focus on highlighting the band&#8217;s violent vocal delivery and aggressive guitar riffs, &#8220;SMG&#8221; has exceptional production quality that makes the band&#8217;s passion obvious throughout. The vocals make a noticeable change around 2:10 when they start to sound more melodic. By adding depth and a melancholic harmony to the mix, the melodic voices are stacked beneath the main screamo vocals, creating a striking contrast. This track&#8217;s overall feel is enhanced by the dual-layered voice style, which elevates it to a noteworthy high point. The song &#8220;SMG&#8221; depicts a realistic image of hopelessness and a quest for purpose as it explores into themes of existential struggle and inner conflict. A strong sense of loneliness and introspection is expressed by lines like &#8220;You wait inside your room until the rain stops&#8221; and &#8220;I feel so lost now, I&#8217;ve lost all my humanity.&#8221; The phrase &#8220;a long goodbye&#8221; appears frequently, emphasizing the idea that life is fleeting and the struggle to find one&#8217;s identity in the face of uncertainty. Let&#8217;s sum up: Decoy&#8217;s &#8220;SMG&#8221; is a brilliantly composed song that strikes a perfect balance between raw emotional intensity and technical intricacy. It is a unique song that is guaranteed to appeal to lovers of progressive and heavy music because of its smart\u00a0blending of several musical genres, strong production, and powerful lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Smg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6STvkNc46X8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/decoy225\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/decoy225<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/decoy225.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/decoy225.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/decoylahc?igsh=MTRlMDZmbnlmeXBtaw%3D%3D&amp;utm_source=qr\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/decoylahc?igsh=MTRlMDZmbnlmeXBtaw%3D%3D&amp;utm_source=qr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Decoy&#8217;s &#8220;SMG&#8221; is a musical masterpiece that combines elements of deathcore, screamo, and math rock&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24195,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13,5],"tags":[3949,782],"class_list":["post-24194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hard-music","category-reviews","tag-decoy","tag-metalcore"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24194"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24194\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24196,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24194\/revisions\/24196"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
