Beauty of Decay... In a few words. Relentless. Churning. Lovingly violent. Dark. Heavy. With an Industrial sense and a healthy portion of fuck you. BOD started in the Minneapolis metal scene in May of 2005.
Beauty of Decay started its campaign with founding members: Tony Coffin, Joshua “Gimpy†Zimmerman, Josh Ham, Eric Johnson, and Wayne Cusick.
The stage show was a site to see with blood-soaked band members and brutal mosh pits. At the time, the sound could be described as rapid speed metal with dark melodic undertones. During this time the band played a ton of shows in venues such as Star Central, The Red Sea, The Urban Wildlife, The Rock in Maplewood, the Garage in Burnsville, The Showcase Skatepark in Rogers, and the Rox in St. Cloud.
Various line-ups have brought the band to it's current form in 2008. For the last 2 years the band has been writing, and recording like crazy in hopes of releasing they're debut album later this year. The arsenal of material assembled over this time builds on the core where the band started and lately has taken a turn towards more dynamic structures and industrial flairs.
Our most recent singer, Eric Odegaard opened the band up to the use of effects, a megaphone, and samples which have added new dimensions to the mix and broadened the scope of our music. In February of 2008, Lucas Rominger joined the band as lead guitarist. Lucas has brought with him much experience and talent that will help bring the band to the next level. His ability to solo is quite impressive, while also contributing riffs that fit the brutal nature of the band. He knows many time signatures, and we are psyched to have him as part of the band. Before joining Beauty of Decay, he was a member of Anal Blast.
Currently the band is recording, writing, working on promotional deals and booking shows.
