Decree

Decree is a Vancouver based industrial act currently consisting of Chris Peterson (Front Line Assembly, Delerium, Will), Ross Redhead, and Sean Lawson. This is the second incarnation of the band; the band was founded in 1991 by Peterson and John McRae, culminating in the duo's 1996 album, "Wake of Devastation". Decree's sound has varied a lot over the space of two cds. WOD comes on at times like Test Dept.

Decree's sound has varied a lot over the space of two cds. WOD comes on at times like Test Dept. on some really nasty drugs, and at other times like a harsh dark ambient/noise/drone-fest. Their second offering, "Moment of Silence" brings both beats and guitars into the mix. This album varies from drum and bass breakbeats to harder industrial metal-influenced pieces, with less in the way of the noisy drones.

After all these years the third offering by Decree is a long awaited album "Fateless" which was released on May 2011. Once again Chris Peterson has managed to build a wall of pounding rythms and angry noise industrial exhibited throughout the album.
