"Decay" was the lead single from Black Out the Sun, Sevendust's ninth album, in 2013, and it started life earmarked as a bonus track. It came out of a jam: Rose told Billboard the band was getting burnt and didn't want to force anything, so they took a riff, played it to see where it went, and ended up with a song everybody picked as the single. It came out too big to bury as a bonus.
They recorded it at Architekt Music in Butler, New Jersey, with Mike Ferretti engineering and mixing and Johnny Fantozzi and William Schneider assisting, and the band produced it themselves. The video, shot at the end of January 2013 just before a tour, sets them up in a creepy house and gives the whole thing the look of vintage film stock.
