The band started as a 3 men project in germany around june 2009 with their attempts at some experimental ways of working with sounds, vocals and different samples. Soon it became an intersting project and after a while, the idea for Codex Alimentarius was born and they spread their first songs through the world weird web. Now Codex Alimentarius is just a band with 2 members who are "boy in a suitcase" and "rue23". The old singer split from the band to go another way but their was still the idea to keep this music and band alive. Was not a bad idea by the way and so rue23 tried to do his first steps in german lyrics and vocals. After the first recordings and work outs, the band recognised that this could be good and so boy in a suitcase was working out more on sound and melodies in times, while rue23 started to focus his mind more on vocals and working more with background sounds. So after a break of 2 months codex alimentarius was back. The music is influenced by industrial, ambient, classical elements and atonal noises mixed with a deep voice...
