Sven and Claudia formed DIN [A] Tod in 2003, bored by vands that follow the usual line up of “guitar/bass/drums.” They purchased a solid base of analogue synthesizers, drum sequencers and recording equipment … and went to work. Musically, they started out by merging the sound of the early Eighties – from Joy Division to the early Sisters of Mercy – with minimalist electronics to create a musical mixture that is just as intriguing as it is catchy. They recorded the first demo in 2004 and started playing concerts. In 2005, the signed to Out of Line Music and released their debut single – fittingly enough on 10” picture vinyl.
They then deliberately took their time for recording the album „The Sound of Crash“, due for release in late autumn 2007, in order to avoid stylistic repetition and stagnation: the worst enemies of any artist. Phelix, of the group Mercydesign, was integrated as a third band member and DIN [A] Tod started working on the new tracks in Frankfurt and Berlin.
