Symphony of Decay
''Symphony of Decay'' is a EP by American alternative rock band Third Eye Blind. The EP started off under the working title of ''Black'' as a companion EP to their platinum selling 1999 album ''Blue''. Its creation was a result of a compromise over the release method of the track "Slow Motion"; the band had wanted it on ''Blue'', while their record label, Elektra Records, opposed its inclusion on such a high-profile full-length album release due to its controversial lyrics. The EP would go through years of delays for a multitude of reasons, including extensive touring, prioritizing the completion of their third studio album ''Out of the Vein'', and complications arising from parting ways with Elektra in 2004. The EP itself was never collectively released, though many of the tracks were eventually released elsewhere.
==Background==
After the band's six times platinum-selling self titled ''Third Eye Blind'' album, the band reconvened to record a follow up album, ''Blue'', in early 1999. During the ''Blue'' sessions, the band recorded a track called "Slow Motion".〔http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=111594〕 However, Elektra, the band's record label, did not approve of the song's lyrical content about a student who shoots a teacher, with the Columbine High School massacre having just occurred the same year.〔http://www.mtv.com/news/520169/third-eye-blind-set-sights-on-ep-for-censored-song/〕 The band argued with the label for over four months over the content and its inclusion on the album.〔 The final agreement between the two parties was that the song could only be on the album as an instrumental, but in return, Elektra would finance a separate EP where the song could be placed with its full controversial lyrics.〔
While the arrangement was made just prior to the release of ''Blue'', work on the EP, tentatively titled ''Black'' as a companion release to ''Blue'',〔http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPcap/1999-12/31/003r-123199-idx.html〕 wasn't set to begin until late 2000, upon completion of the "Red Summer Sun Tour" in support of ''Blue''.〔http://www.mtv.com/news/871374/third-eye-blind-to-record-concept-ep/〕 However, in 2000, frontman Stephan Jenkins fell into a state of depression, which led him to recluse himself into a productive period of writing, resulting in over 40 new songs.〔http://www.mtv.com/news/1446738/third-eye-blind-head-to-studio-may-get-help-from-fred-durst/〕 This activity led the band to focus on releasing another full length album first - what would become ''Out of the Vein'' - with intentions of releasing an EP afterwards.〔http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/71119/third-eye-blind-inspired-after-hiatus〕 After the ''Out of the Vein'' sessions, the band started referring to the EP title as ''Symphony of Decay''.〔 A month after the release of ''Out of the Vein'', in June 2003, Jenkins stated to VH1 that the band planned on releasing the EP as soon as September of the same year.〔http://www.melodic.net/?page=news&id=732〕 However, the EP was later delayed into 2004,〔http://www.melodic.net/?page=news&id=2250〕 and then again into 2005.〔http://www.melodic.net/?page=news&id=3204〕 Drummer Brad Hargreaves, in late 2004, indicated that the EP had become tied up with difficulties with their record label, with Elektra dropping the band after the low sales of ''Out of the Vein''.〔
