Choke Chain, the dark electronic project of Milwaukee musician Mark Trueman, announces the EP ‘Decomposition,’ arriving July 10, 2026 via Negative Gain Productions in multiple formats. The release fuses 1990s-style dark electro with hardcore punk aggression, drawing influences from acts like Leæther Strip, :wumpscut:, and Mentallo & The Fixer. Trueman describes the material as unrelenting and emotionally raw, conceived during a period of deep creative despair. The project, active since approximately 2018, has previously released three EPs and one full-length album ‘Mortality’ in 2023, performing at notable festivals including Cold Waves and Roadburn. This upcoming EP continues Choke Chain’s signature blend of pounding rhythms, harsh textures, and frantic vocals rooted in Wax Trax! and European EBM traditions.
