Jacksonville ambient/noise staple Rate)ov(Decay ‘s new 5 track album EMPTY NEST is a deeply moving and personal work that provides melancholic moody passages that explores elements of drone, stoner metal, ambient and post-rock, but throughout maintains a cohesive and focused balance and fluidity, and is definitely one of ROD’s most ambitious and emotional releases so far. Rate)ov(Decay is the experimental solo project of Drew Cardin of Deathwatch97 and Everything to Me, a project which has continued for a decade and put out tapes with Popnihil, Florida's goth&noise vanguard. This album also features instrumentation by Matt Burton (of Deathwatch 97) and Jake Phillips (of Everything to Me and Glass Chapel).
