‘Beasts of a Future Decay’ is the debut EP from Washington, DC‘s Design Flaw. The record is a heavy, but uniquely accessible collection; a dark and atmospheric arrangement of soaring guitars, layered vocals, driving drums and bass, and otherworldly screams.

“A spacious, hypnotic sound, that I have absolutely fallen in love with” – Alex Baker, Kerrang

The post-hardcore quartet garner inspiration from the genre-bending alternative icons of the 00’s and 10’s, with Deafheaven, Glassjaw and Deftones particularly prevalent in the East Coast outfit’s dexterous lexicon.
