Decoded Feedback is a Canadian musical project which incorporates styles of electro-industrial and aggrotech. The duo releases music on the North American distributor Metropolis Records, and the European record label Infacted Recordings.

History

Decoded Feedback was formed in 1993 by the Italian Marco Biagiotti (vocals, lyrics, samples, sequences, arrangement, basses and drums) and the Hungarian Yone Dudas (keyboards, sequences, arrangement, samples, basses, drums and lyrics) while they were both living in Italy. The duo met in an industrial night club in Budapest, Hungary and developed a friendship through EBM and industrial music that led to a collaboration for producing original music. Their demo tape entitled Decoded Feedback was reviewed by the Belgian industrial music magazine Side-Line, which led to the group being signed to the European label, Hard Records.

The group relocated to Toronto, Canada, in 1995,

The 2010s yielded three albums: Aftermath, released in 2010, disKonnekt in 2012, and Dark Passenger released in 2016. The single from Dark Passenger entitled "Waiting for the Storm" inspired the creation of and provided the working title for the full-length feature film Strangers at the Door by director Rogelio Salinas.

Several of their albums have ranked on the German Alternative Charts including Bio-Vital, released in 1998, Shockwave, voted #3 Top International Album of 2003, and Aftermath voted #5 on May 27, 2010 and staying on the DAC for 7 weeks reaching #2.

Live

Decoded Feedback conducted their first U.S. tour in 1998

Decoded Feedback's music is popular within the darker electronic music scene, especially among fans of electro-industrial music. Comparable artists include fellow Metropolis Records acts Haujobb, Wumpscut, Suicide Commando and Front Line Assembly, as well as Zoth Ommog acts Leæther Strip, X Marks the Pedwalk, and Evils Toy.

During the 1990s, the band identified with M.A.C.O.S. (Musicians Against Copywriting of Samples), a movement that asserted that the fair use of sampled portions of music and movies should be legally available for reuse in artistic works.
