Biography

Pin-Up Went Down is an experimental metal band from Rouen, France. It was formed by Alexis Damien in 2006, with singer & photographer Aurélie "Asphodel" Raidron. Although their music is mostly referred to as avant-garde metal, describe themselves as « an experimental band blending art rock, metal, avant-garde, and pop ». On 28 March 2008 the duo released their first studio album, 2 Unlimited, through Ascendance Records. The album's fusion of different musical genres such as power pop, progressive metal, death metal, funk, symphonic metal and gospel music was well received by the critics, and two years later, on 28 June 2010, their second album, 342, came out also through Ascendance, further developing their unusual musical style and also being well received. In the same year, Pin-Up Went Down was joined by Alexis' brother Nicolas Damien, becoming a trio.
 Asphodel announced that she would be leaving the band in January 2014 to pursue other projects. Shortly after she formed the duo öOoOoOoOoOo (pronounced "chenille"; French for "caterpillar"). Puwd was inactive for several year after Asphodel's departure until November 2017, when they announced a compilation album entitled Remasters, which would feature re-mastered versions of the songs of the band.
