MORTAL REALM Invokes Digital Decay with New Single “ROT (And Decompose)” 💀
US industrial force MORTAL REALM returns with a corrosive new offering, releasing “ROT (And Decompose)” on December 5th via Negative Gain — a track that drags listeners deeper into the project’s expanding world of dread-soaked electronic ritual.
A Descent Into Beautiful Corruption 🖤
“ROT (And Decompose)” is a slow, shadow-breathing anthem of erosion and emotional collapse. Built on heavy mechanical pulses, haunted atmospheres, and MORTAL REALM’s signature sonic corrosion, the track feels like a living machine rotting from within — and inviting you to witness every moment of its decay.
The single’s design is intentionally claustrophobic, textured, and immersive, pulling from the raw power of industrial grit while weaving in melodic undertones that linger like ghosts in rusted hallways.
The Mind Behind the Machine: Adam V. Jones ⚙️
MORTAL REALM is the multi-genre, industrial-driven creation of Adam V. Jones, known for his impactful work in Haex and Sterling Silicon.
After carving open a new era of dark electronics with the 2024 debut album Stab in the Dark on Negative Gain Productions, the project has continued expanding its sonic palette — fusing heavy electronics, melodic textures, and esoteric atmospheres into a style that feels both ritualistic and futuristic.
“ROT (And Decompose)” marks one of two new singles arriving in Fall 2025, alongside the emotionally crushing “With a Heavy Heart,” signaling a new chapter of evolution in Jones’s expanding world of digital sorrow and industrial chaos.
Negative Gain’s Arsenal Grows Stronger ⚔️
With each release, MORTAL REALM becomes a sharper weapon in Negative Gain’s dark sonic arsenal. This new single is crafted for fans who crave immersive industrial soundscapes, post-apocalyptic electronics, and emotionally charged decay — a track meant to burrow under the skin and stay there.
