We get lots of mail from fans trying to
sell us on whatever lame project they’re
doing, so it’s rare that I would actually even
bother to check out a band that writes me,
but the story of THE DECOMPOSERS
(December 7, Kitaisky Letchik, 23:00) was
just too good. Back in the spring of 2002,
four dudes met in a hospital lounge while
being treated for the physical and mental
anguish of being clinically dead. Given that
they had all gathered in the lounge to watch
an EINSTURZENDE NEUBATEN
gig on the hospital’s TV, they decided to
form a band based on the two things they
all had in common: love for experimental
music and, well, having died once. After
recording some music, they gathered more
members (currently 9!) and started playing
around town. If you’re a fan of THE
CURE, FAITH NO MORE, NICK
CAVE, etc., this is a gig not to miss - Exile

A modern day Jimi Hendrix. This is a fascinating piece. Very well produced. The singer here is fabulous and the guitar work is absolutely amazing. Wow! I'm guessing you blow 'em away when you do this one live! Great drum work and percussion. Let's see, this is VERY eclectic. Jimi Hendrix meets Jethro Tull meets Charlie Daniels and they all do a song for a Matrix soundtrack. Very powerful! FIVE STARS, for sure!!!!! - Garageband fan

This is what Jim Morisson would have been doing if he were still around.
This is the most original song I've heard in a long time. Kinda like mixing The Doors with The Talking Heads. Either way you get a great song and an interesting mood.
The Bass has some interesting notes in this arrangement and the Guitar really Rocks each time it is introduced. And let's not leave out those Skins Baby.....Keep it Bangin' in such an interesting way. This has me hooked!

The band's chord structures absolutely crush any melodies; the tempo keeps stumbling; and the vocalist yells like a young metal-head... It's a pretty convincing picture of ascetic rock 'n' roll upstarts! - David MacFadyen, University of California, Los Angeles. Farfrommoscow project

Bio
“They sound like The Doors if The Doors were the band of our new century”
- Garageband.com
The Decomposers name comes from the French decomposer - “decompose into parts" and refers to organisms that break down dead substances, in this way supporting the natural process of decomposition.
Originally their music could indeed be defined as pretty "grim underground with complex metres", with the main subject matter being destructiveness, suicide, depression, decomposition/decay (in all senses of the words), and pornography. However, over the years of creative development, the band started confidently approaching the style of trip-hop, soul and arena rock, with a softer sound, irony in the lyrics, but still with the same erotic flair.
Still the constant component of The Decomposers’ creativity has always been outrageous and scandalous behaviour (epatage) and provocativeness.
Some provocations are becoming even more spectacular since they address the public, which is quite sophisticated, if not to say elite. Such an audience has formed for many reasons, among which are irony, psychedelic sound, and subtle stylistic arrangements.
In their different periods, the style of The Decomposers can be defined simultaneously as psychedelic rock, intellectual underground, post-punk, soul, Gothic Rock, British garage rock. Musicians themselves use the term "industrial-psychedelic-symphonic-punk-Rasta-Goth formation." Music critics find a variety of parallels and trends in the creations of the band: Mike Patton, Faith No More, The Birthday Party, Massive Attack and even The Doors. As a result, the band's style looks pretty eclectic. Or, to be more precise, it is in constant development and fully reflects the experiments in different directions the musicians engage in.
