Die Vorboten started as a death/folk metal band in the coastal city of Wismar before transitioning into industrial hard rock, tracing one of the more unusual genre arcs in the German underground. Their German name — meaning "the harbingers" — proved prophetic, as they heralded their own sonic transformation.

Dominanz plays industrial black metal from Bergen, active since 2011 and fusing mechanical rhythms with black metal's tremolo-driven aggression. Their German-spelled name adds a Teutonic industrial edge to compositions that bridge Bergen's legendary black metal scene with electronic extremity.
Dominion III is an Austrian industrial electronic project created in 1998 by Alexander Opitz (known as Tharen), also the founder of the gothic project Dargaard.

Their debut album The Hand and the Sword (2000) on Draenor Productions was followed by Life Has Ended Here (2002) on Napalm Records.
