Decoded Feedback burst on to the industrial scene in the mid-1990s with the highly acclaimed self-titled demo tape Decoded Feedback. This creative duo, Marco Biagiotti and Yone Dudas, brought together all the elements and contrasts that exist between the sexes, and at the same time using their diverse backgrounds, European and Canadian, to successfully create their own unique sound. This proved to be a powerful combination. After an amazing review in Belgium’s Side-Line magazine, Decoded Feedback was picked up immediately by one of Europe’s leading industrial labels, Hard Records.

1996 marked the year of their first CD release entitled Overdosing. The quality and power of Overdosing opened more doors for Decoded Feedback, capturing the attention of not just the industrial community, but also of Europe's leading electro label, Zoth Ommog, who arranged to release the band's second CD Technophoby in 1997. This CD later came to the attention of America's leading industrial label, Metropolis Records, who soon after became Decoded Feedbacks official North American label.

The band's third CD Bio-Vital was released in 1998 and instantly hit the German Alternative Charts (DAC). Decoded Feedback was also voted one of the best groups on Zoth Ommog. EVOLution marked their fourth release and demonstrated their growth and established position in the electronic community. This CD brought together a perfect mix of Industrial and EBM, pulling you in and enveloping you into the interwoven dance floor textures and symphonic melodies.

In 2000, Decoded Feedback signed to the up and coming German label, Bloodline. Reflect in Silence, Marco’s and Yone’s first single, was released in Sept 2000 to critical acclaim. The full-length CD Mechanical Horizon was released soon after. This CD pulled together all of the elements that had now become the famous Decoded Feedback sound, but added some new touches. More elaborate sequences, less distorted vocals, and richer soundscapes. It perfectly demonstrated the versatility of this Italian/Canadian band.

2001 was the year of touring, festivals and studio production. In April, they headlined a European tour with Noisex, Sonar and Re/Work. In August they participated in their first European festival, the amazing Eurorock 2001. 2002 was a year dedicated to hard work in the Defcode Lab studio preparing for their next release.

2003 marked the year of a powerful return to their roots and a change in European record companies. DF signed with Out of Line Music and released Phoenix (EP) and Shockwave (CD) show a return to a harder, more minimalist sound. Very edgy and powerful, reminiscent of Technophoby and Bio-Vital. Phoenix and Shockwave were so well received that Decoded Feedback embarked on a full European tour with Haujobb in May/June 2003 and was invited to play on the main Agra Halle stage at the renowned Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, Germany. On May 5th, Shockwave hit the DAC (Deutsche Alternative Charts) at number 4. Shockwave stayed on the DAC charts for 7 weeks. It entered the charts at number 4 and stayed in the top 3 positions, along with Marilyn Manson and Linkin Park, for 6 weeks reaching number 1 on week 22. Shockwave was honoured to be voted #3 as Top International Album of 2003 on the DAC.

2004 proved to be a very productive and exciting year. Decoded Feedback embarked on yet another European tour in February/March, this time with support group God Module. The huge success of this tour brought Decoded Feedback to the attention of Europe’s most prestigious festival M’era Luna in Germany, where they played in August. To round up this very successful year, Decoded Feedback was invited to play an exclusive show in Mexico City at the renowned DadaX Club. This would be the start of great success in Mexico being asked back numerous times since then.

2005 was an extremely productive and exciting year. Combustion was released worldwide in September to rave reviews. Decoded Feedback were a huge hit at 2 major festivals: Infest 2005 (UK) and Blacksun Festival (USA). They wrapped up that exciting year co-headlining the Out of Line Festival Tour in Germany in November with Blutengel.

After a personal hiatus and a European label change, Decoded Feedback returned to the studio working harder than ever on their new CD Aftermath, which was released on Metropolis Records and Dependent Records in May 2010. Aftermath was a true labour of love and pain. All life’s difficulties and challenges helped to shape the soundscape of this album. It is minimalistic, yet complex. It is sure to excite the fans. Aftermath entered the DAC at #5 on May 27, 2010, rose to #2 and stayed on the charts for 7 weeks. Aftermath was touted as one of the best industrial albums of 2010.

2011 - 2014 were significant years for production and touring, but also marked by personal loss. Yone lost her father in early 2011 and this would profoundly shape the direction of their next album. After a hugely successful German tour with Covenant, back in the studio they went. All the positive feedback from the tour helped heal the pain of their loss. The assemblage of these emotions shaped into what would soon be known as the album disKonnekt, which was released in 2012 to rave reviews and was voted one of the top albums of 2012 by renowned Side-Line Magazine. Fueled by this positive feedback, work on a new album quickly ensued afterwards. However, this very creative period expanded beyond the borders of Decoded Feedback. Both Yone and Marco also wanted to branch out on their own with side and solo projects. Claus Larsen and Marco Biagiotti joined forces to form an old school EBM project called Sequential Access, and released their debut album Sex Addicts Anonymous in 2014 worldwide on Metropolis Records. Marco also began work on his instrumental solo project Der Wolfsmensch, with his international debut release in 2015. Yone also began work on a solo instrumental project (yet untitled) and built up a name for herself as a highly skilled remixer for bands like Leaether Strip, Velvet Acid Christ, Suicide Commando, Rational Youth, etc... In between working on the new album, side and solo projects, and remixes, this period was also rich with performances along side Leaether Strip, Klutae, Clan of Xymox, and appearances as festivals like Wave Gotik Treffen, Terminus, Dark Munich Festival, NCN Festival 10, Zoth Ommog Festival 2.0, Aftermath, and Dubhfest III.

Back in the studio, ideas were flourishing. Production eagerly continued on their new full length album Dark Passenger and single Waiting for the Storm. After the success of the official music video for Decoded Feedback's last hit song Another Loss from the album disKonnekt, renowned filmmaker Rogelio Salinas signed on again to create the official music video for the single Waiting for the Storm. The title and idea behind the song inspired Rogelio so much that he decided to write a script for his first full-length feature film by the same name, Waiting for the Storm. In true collaborative spirit, Yone conceived and scored the entire original soundtrack for the film. A very creative and unique undertaking; a song that influenced a movie and vice versa.

Decoded Feedback hit the ground running in 2016! Their new highly anticipated releases Waiting for the Storm (single 2016) and Dark Passenger (album 2016) both hit the German Alternative Charts (DAC) and the German Electronic Web Charts (GEWC) at #1. 2016 was also filled with firsts: first ever South American tour and first show in Russia at the Synthetic Snow Festival XIV. With the new year just beginning, 2017 is poised to become Decoded Feedback’s most successful year-to-date with an upcoming appearance at the prestigious Wave Gotik Treffen festival in Germany followed by a full-length European tour in the fall. 2017 is quickly shaping up to be the best year yet in their long luminous music career!
