In August 2005 the Cologne thrash band Flag of Decay met its fiery demise. Band members Leo (vocals) and Joachim (battery) found that not being able to make music they could no longer function. They had to go on. So out of the ashes rose the phoenix known as Deus.exe. What needed to be done now was to find some new members. The first to step up to the fold was bassist Erik, soon after the band recruited guitarists Milan and Christian to round out the group. In December the first output was recorded. The results of this are the songs Wake States and Sensory deprivation.
Due to a difference of musical direction Milan left the group. A replacement was quickly found in Gero but this was unfortunately not to be and he soon parted ways with the group. Under the motto If you want the job done right, then do it yourself Leo stepped up to handle both Vocal and Guitar duties for the foreseeable future.
In preparation for the 2006 Wacken Open Air festival the band then decided to record a new 5 song demo (plus the 2 previously released tracks). This was recorded in Leos home studio. The entire demo making process of recording, editing, mixing, mastering and manufacturing took a total of two weeks and was done on a shoestring budget. But the results speak for themselves.
After a string of successful gigs with bands like Textures and Devilstick guitarist Christian left the band in order to concentrate on his studies. Andy was then recruited into the band as guitarist and successfully withstood a live trial by fire by being able to play our entire set live only two weeks after joining the band.
In May 2008 the band released their debut album “Transhuman”. The album was recorded in Nurostudios and Filthtone in Cologne by Leo and Christoph Schreiner. Never one to shy away from new technologies, the guitar tracks were recorded directly to hard disk in Cologne, these files were then re-amped at LSD Tonstudio in Lübeck by Lasse Lammert, who also took on mastering duties as well as adding extra sub-drops. The cover art was created by Fabio Listrani (aka STB01) with band photography by Uli Beck adding a gritty and dystopian yet hi-tech visual interface for the music to enmesh the listener.
“Transhuman” stands as a testament of a dying humanity drowning in a sea of information and madness, failing to control its lust for technology and ultimately embracing its own self-destruction.

Professionelles Premastering ist heutzutage ein entscheidender Faktor für den Erfolg einer Musikproduktion. Viele Mastering Studios sind für den "Musiker im Alleingang" jedoch kaum bezahlbar. Silver Sound hingegen gibt selbstfinanzierten Künstlern die Möglichkeit, Mastering kostengünstig und auf höchstem Niveau in Anspruch zu nehmen.
