Decoded
Feedback burst on to the industrial scene in the mid 1990s
with the highly acclaimed self-titled demo tape Decoded
Feedback. This creative duo brought together all the
elements and contrasts that exist between the sexes, and at
the same time using their diverse backgrounds, European and
Canadian, to successfully create their own unique sound. This
proved to be a powerful combination. After an amazing review
in Belgium’s Side-Line magazine, Decoded Feedback was
picked up immediately by one of Europe’s leading industrial
labels, Hard Records.
1996 marked
the year of their first CD release entitled Overdosing.
The quality and power of Overdosing opened more
doors for Decoded Feedback, capturing the attention of not
just the industrial community, but also of Europe's leading
electro label, Zoth Ommog, who arranged to release the band's
second CD Technophoby in 1997. This CD later
came to the attention of America's leading industrial label,
Metropolis Records, who soon after became Decoded Feedback’s
official North American label. The band’s third CD Bio-Vital
was released in 1998 and instantly hit the German Alternative
Charts (DAC). Decoded Feedback was also voted one of the best
groups on Zoth Ommog. EVOLution marked their
fourth release and demonstrated their growth and established
position in the electronic community. This CD brought together
a perfect mix of Industrial and EBM, pulling you in and enveloping
you into the interwoven dance floor textures and symphonic
melodies.
In 2000,
Decoded Feedback signed to the up and coming German label,
Bloodline. Reflect in Silence was Marco and
Yone’s first single which was released in Sept 2000 to
critical acclaim. The full length CD Mechanical Horizon
was released soon after. This CD pulled together all of the
elements that had now become the famous Decoded Feedback sound,
but added some new touches. More elaborate sequences, less
distorted vocals, richer soundscapes. It perfectly demonstrated
the versatility of this Italian/Canadian band. 2001 was the
year of touring, festivals and studio production. In April,
they headlined a European tour with Noisex, Sonar and Re/Work.
In August they participated in their first European festival,
Eurorock 2001. 2002 was a year dedicated to hard work in the
Defcode Lab studio preparing for their next release.
2003 marked the year of a powerful return to their roots and
a change in European record companies. DF is now signed to
Out of Line. Phoenix and Shockwave
show a return to a harder, more minimalist sound. Very edgy
and powerful, reminiscent of Technophoby and
Bio-Vital. Phoenix and Shockwave
were so well received that Decoded Feedback embarked on a
full European tour with Haujobb in May/June 2003. On May 5th,
Shockwave hit the DAC (Deutsche Alternative
Charts) at number 4. Shockwave stayed on the
DAC charts for 7 weeks. It entered the charts at number 4
and stayed in the top 3 positions, along with Marilyn Manson
and Linkin Park, for 6 weeks reaching number 1 on week 22.
Shockwave had the honour of being voted #3
Top International Album of 2003 on the DAC.
2004 proved
to be a very productive and exciting year. Decoded Feedback
embarked on yet another European tour in February/March, this
time with support group God Module. The huge success of this
tour brought Decoded Feedback to the attention of Europe’s
biggest festival M’era Luna in Germany, where they played
in August. To round up this very successful year, Decoded
Feedback was invited to play an exclusive show in Mexico City
at the renowned DadaX club.
2005 has
been an extremely productive and exciting year so far. Combustion
was released worldwide in September to rave reviews. Decoded
Feedback were a huge hit at 2 major festivals: Infest 2005
(UK) and Blacksun Festival (USA). They will wrap up this exciting
year co-headlining the Out of Line festival tour in Germany
in November with Blutengel. A full European and North American
tour are planned for spring 2006.
