The Decomposers / Press

“Running even further from categorization, the band has name-checked more influences in a wantonly disconnected fashion: now and again they'll point to Massive Attack, Howlin' Wolf, or Stockhausen. Three names that undoubtedly never graced the same line-up, despite their common inclination towards grumpiness.”

““They sound like The Doors if The Doors were the band of our new century””

“Nothing to say just it's perfect!”

“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!!!!!”

VERY POWERFUL!

“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!”

“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”

“Furious atonal porn-rock in English (russian version)”

“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!”

“Moscow outfit The Decomposers describe themselves as playing “industrial-psychedelic-sympho-punk-rasta-goth rock.” Other more explicit parallels tend to move in the direction of Nick Cave and Mike Patton, but the band themselves seem a little uneasy with this pigeonholing. One some sites, for example, they’ll happily and eagerly invoke The Birthday Party; typically, however, they resort to the long list(s) of adjectives we see here. Running even further from categorization, the band has name-checked more influences in a wantonly disconnected fashion: now and again they’ll point to Massive Attack, Howlin’ Wolf, or Stockhausen. Three names that undoubtedly never graced the same line-up, despite their common inclination towards grumpiness.”
