Decree is a Canadian industrial electronic act that emerged from Vancouver's underground music scene in the early 1990s. Founded by Chris Peterson and John McRae, the project grew out of collaborative experimentation that began in 1989, with the duo refining their sonic approach through the formative years before officially establishing the band in 1991. Their work represents a significant contribution to the industrial and electronic music landscape of the era.
The duo's creative partnership extended beyond Decree, as Peterson and McRae were also instrumental in shaping the electronic music collective Will during the same period, further establishing their influence within Canada's electronic music community.
