Being from the lower eastside of des moines iowa AS I DECAY could not live the lives any higher. Starting in the basement in early 2004 by guitarist Rob shredd Brennan and drummer Kevin Harvey. After months of playing and makin great metal they where ready to finish the line-up, needing someone for the lowends was just a matter of looking out his front window, finding out after years that Harpo the bands bass player lived but only 3 houses down. I remember being blown away when hearing Rob play. really wasn't used to playin metal exspecially that form of it but they made it look so fun After harpo came along the band was ready to book shows, after a few shows there singer left the band and a opening a spot for Gabriel Gonzalez a guy that was no stranger to the local bands of iowa, after competing in the battle of bands and takin 3rd place there 2nd guitarist was ready to try new things, which left another spot open in the line-up and it was filled rather fast by Guitarist Rocky Leonetti, after playing just a hand full of times the band made there desision and completed the band in april of 2005. AS I DECAY is now ready to hit the road and play some shows with there old school metal and there nu skool sound.
