Editor's note

Decyfer Down's guitar-driven Christian rock

A working band that kept recording through lineup changes and the usual grind.

For a sense of their sound, try 'Crash' or 'Burn Back The Sun.' They're the kind of band that just kept making records.

Their first album 'End of Grey' got a Dove Award nomination for Best New Artist in 2006, though some listeners thought its themes were too edgy for Christian rock. Songs like 'Crash' and 'Burn Back The Sun' show their style, guitar-driven rock with straightforward lyrics. They built a following that stuck with them through the years.

Decyfer Down formed in 2003 after the earlier band Stigmata ended. They put out 'End of Grey' in 2006, followed by 'Crash' in 2007, which included the recognizable track 'Fading.' They kept recording through the next several years, with self-titled work in 2009, 'Awake' in 2011, and 'The Other Side of Darkness' in 2013.
