Decyfer Down

Decyfer Down is an American Christian rock band formed in 1999 and based in Morehead City, North Carolina, United States.

Decyfer Down was originally formed in 1999 as Allysonhymn by guitarist Brandon Mills and drummer Josh Oliver, who met in high school.

Formerly an acoustic outfit, the group eventually switched to a more rock-oriented sound after Josh's brother, Caleb, joined the band.

Caleb stated "After our bass player left, we found ourselves needing someone to carry the low end.

Clonts met Caleb, Brandon and Josh at Morehead City, after graduating from high school, and later on, joined Allysonhymn.

In an interview, Brandon Mills claimed that "marketing-wise, it was a little challenging to have bands named Decyfer and Disciple on the same label".

The album had five singles "Fight Like This", "Break Free", "Burn Back the Sun," "No Longer" and "Life Again" all of which reached No.

[4] "Fight Like This" was featured in UFC promo which aired on September 7, 2007, for twelve hours on the front page of YouTube.

The band has shared the stage with acts such as Pillar, Thousand Foot Krutch, Day of Fire, The Showdown, Skillet, Disciple, Hawk Nelson, and many more.

On February 20, 2008, Caleb Oliver made an announcement on Decyfer Down's official website, saying that the band has started working on a new album.

Some claim that Decyfer Down had already started selling signed, physical copies of the entire Crash album (containing all songs except "Desperate" and "Moving On") before its release, during their live shows.

On October 27, 2008, Josh Oliver announced on Decyfer Down's website that TJ Harris (formerly of Fighting Instinct) had joined the band as the new lead singer and bassist.

On February 17, the band released an updated EP with TJ's vocals, containing the songs "Crash", "Fading", and "Moving On".

[7] Drummer Josh Oliver stated in an interview in July that the record had sold upwards of 30,000 copies in three months.

In November 2010, the band posted a short video of them in the studio, working on writing new songs for their upcoming album, with the help of Gavin Brown.

[15] On October 23, 2015, Decyfer Down announced that they have added 4 bonus tracks to the project, and converted the EP to an album, consisting of ten songs.

Decyfer Down (along with Christopher Clonts) toured with the bands Disciple, Children 18:3, Seventh Day Slumber and Spoken on City Rockfest 2016 after the album's release.
