Tears of Decay comes from Emden (East-Frisia in Germany) and exists since 1997, however, the current team was formed in 1998. The main reason for founding the band was to make some heavy noise, to hang around and, of course, to have lots of fun. The very first session of the band was an excessive orgy. The founding members Henne (guitar), Michael (vocals) and Dirk (drums) were inspired by this experience and call it the "main reason" why they wanted to carry on with the project. A little time later Steffen (guitar) joined T-o-D. Steffen and Henne knew each other before due to their former band Mistrust (R.I.P.). From now on they decided to rehearse seriously in order to terrify mankind with a mixture of death/grind and groove.After many irregular sessions and a completely chaotic first year Jörg (bass) from Bochum joined the band. First they met at Wacken-Open-Air (one of the biggest Festivals in Europe). Jörg suddenly appeared at the camp site of the band. They had lots of talks and it was found they have the same preferences. Soon the five musicians became best friends. A unity was formed.The results of the sessions became better and better. The songs took shape and the members` thoughts and feelings turned out into musical brutality and aggression. In February 1999 the first gig took place with two other bands: ANASARCA and SANITYS DAWN.The response to this event was very great. Therefore, Tears of Decay decided to record their first MCD. The recording took place in Time Warp Studios (now: Audio Check) and their first MCD was called: "Redemption". The band was satisfied with the results of the MCD. The following reviews and opinions were very positive. Furthermore, many gigs took place with participating bands like INCANTATION, KRISIUN, FLESHCRAWL, PROFANITY, ANASARCA, SANITYS DAWN. Also Festivals like FUCK THE COMMERCE III, EAR TERROR FESTIVAL I, DEATHFEST Ludwigshafen I, MOUNTAINS OF DEATH I etc. were terrorized by Tears of Decay.In April 2000 Cudgel Agency took over the distribution and Redemption was released anew. In January 2001 the band was finally contracted by Cudgel Agency. Their debut record called "Saprophyt" . Coming out in july 2002.
After some problems, many gigs ( with Vader, Fuck the Commerce VI etc) we have record two Songs for a split with Brodequin,
