Been craving a bit of these guys lately, too...
Decyfer Down is from North Carolina. The 4-piece band originated as the 3-piece Allysonhymn (All-eyes-on-Him) in 1999, & under that moniker, they began touring with the likes of Puddle of Mudd, & Breaking Benjamin. In 2002, guitarist Chris Clonts joined guitarist Brandon Miller, & brothers Josh & Caleb Oliver - drums & voc's/bass, respectively. They changed their name simply to Decyfer & released a self-titled EP in 2005 before being signed to S/R/E/ Recordings (a subsidiary of INO Records). A name change followed, shortly before the release of their major debut LP "End of Grey" which was produced by Jim Cooper (who was part of Petra for a couple years) & Tony Palacios (of famed rock band Guardian) & released June 6th, 2006.
A lot happened in between "End of Grey" & their sophomore release, "Crash"[INO; 2009] including being the victims of two robberies; & a serious vehicle collision. Their tour van veered "off the road during an icy snow storm, colliding with a parked car, spinning across three lanes of traffic (with trailer in tow) & crashed against a guard rail"*. However, they fought through all the twists & turns that resulted during their touring, & kept going. A line-up change also happened before "Crash", involving singer/bassist Caleb Oliver leaving & being replaced with current singer TJ Harris (formerly of Fighting Instinct).
Their songs have been featured at WrestleMania XXV & a promo for the UFC as well. Currently, they're working on new music, with over 70 songs to choose from for their next album. This song is from "End of Grey".
