Lords of Decadence

Used to have known each other since the age of five, Norbert and Andy decided to found a Heavy Metal Band in summer 2000. The first Line-Up (including Bernd and his younger brother Werner) was completed in February 2001 - The official founding of the band “Lords of Decadence”.
After many gigs, a lot of successful events and the building of an own rehearsal room (“Black Box - Rehearsal Room”) in Vienna, Werner decided to leave the band for private & career reasons (summer 2004).
Fortunately L.o.D. got to know Paul, a young and very talented drummer. Since autumn 2004 he’s the new drummer of Lords of Decadence.
