Industrial powerhouse Derision Cult teams up with legendary sonic architect Justin Broadrick for the blistering remix of “Warning Signs.” Featured on the upcoming Mercenary Notes Pt 2, slated for release on March 14, 2025, the track delivers a fierce blend of industrial grit and rockabilly swagger, amplified by Broadrick’s signature touch. Known for his groundbreaking work with Godflesh and Jesu, Broadrick crafts a remix that transforms the track into a relentless auditory force.
“Warning Signs (JKFleshmix)” combines jackhammer guitar riffs, thunderous percussion, and shadowy spoken-word elements to create a track that is as unsettling as it is invigorating. The production is a masterclass in tension and release, with Broadrick pushing each sonic element to its breaking point while maintaining a hypnotic, driving rhythm.
The song is a sobering reflection on societal tipping points, inspired by a real-life encounter. Frontman Dave McAnally recounts his brother’s story of a harrowing moment in a warzone, where a Navy SEAL’s raw, cutting remark became the foundation for the haunting chorus: “Is it getting real enough yet?” This visceral narrative adds a raw authenticity to the song’s unrelenting energy.
