Brisbane quintet Made Wrong have dropped their most ferocious offering to date. Following their much-anticipated August comeback, the reborn post-hardcore outfit is pushing their sonic boundaries with their newest single, 'Slow Collapse'. Channelling the raw, unbridled energy of late-2000s titans like Underoath, the track serves up a hefty dose of nostalgia wrapped in a fiercely aggressive, contemporary package.
Driven by thick, overdriven guitar riffs and a relentlessly punishing rhythm section, 'Slow Collapse' thrives on the dynamic vocal interplay between frontman Lachlan Dann and guitarist Rhys Brown. Beyond the sheer volume, the lyrics examine the creeping normalisation of modern societal decay. The song acts as an urgent wake-up call against passivity, warning listeners about the gradual, imperceptible damage caused by blindly accepting false narratives in a disconnected world.
Speaking on the thematic core of the track, vocalist Lachlan Dann reflects: ”The repeated question of belief is less about faith in something intangible, but more about whether we can still trust each other when systems, identities and relationships are being pulled apart.”
Long-time followers of the Australian heavy music scene will immediately recognise the lineup from their extensive tenure under the moniker Dollarosa. During their original run, the group dropped their well-received 2012 EP, 'The Never Ending Unfamiliar', and shared stages across Australia and Japan with genre heavyweights such as Story of the Year, Flyleaf, and Funeral for a Friend. After a decade-long hiatus, their triumphant rebranding in August with the single 'Summer Wars' garnered widespread community radio backing and glowing media praise.
Now, their sophomore release under the Made Wrong banner proves they haven’t lost an ounce of their grit, already earning favourable nods to early-era Thrice and Finch from local critics. It is an unapologetic, cathartic anthem that encourages its audience to stand their ground and hold onto their humanity.
'Slow Collapse' is available worldwide now. Head over to your preferred streaming platform to spin the blistering new release, and make sure to follow Made Wrong across Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram to stay up to date with their next moves.
