One of the more than unique artists in the death metal field, Atrocity began as vocaliser Alex Krull's brainchild in the late '80s. Teamed with guitar player Mathias Roderer, bassist Oliver Klassen, drummer Michael Schwarz, and guitar player Richard Scharff, they released a single in 1990, "Sorry Blood," followed by their debut release (Hallucinations). The followup, Longing for Death, was released in 1992 to minor arguing when the band's original title, "Todessehnsucht," was non recognised by the criminal record company. Klassen left wing in time for Markus Knapp to assume over bass duties on 1994's Blut, which was the firing that began to found them away of the genre. Its gothic touches and vampiric motif alienated many older fans merely gained them a modern next among the new barbarian metallic element crowd. The lot split from Roadrunner Records, then sour its attention toward making more than gothic-sounding metallic element on Massacre Records. In 1995 they released deuce albums, a collaborationism with German new wave stripe Das Ich on the way-out Die Liebe, and an album (Calling the Train) featuring Krull's sister Yasmin acting as a edgar Guest singer. Torsten Bauer replaced Scharff and Chris Lukhaup replaced Knapp around the time of the two releases. Both albums were experimental and unique, star to many festival appearances and tours where they continued to bed covering their gothic metallic element. After 1996's Willenskraft album, the band invest in concert a cover album of '80s bulge songs called Werk 80. They brought a fetish-themed stage show on their first American term of enlistment and replaced Schwarz with Martin Schmidt in 1998. Their sound continued to change, incorporating techno beats and deeper vocals. In 2000, they released Gemini, another genre-crossing album that unveiled a dark wave of fascination, along with an regular more synth-based sound than ahead. Continuing to term of enlistment, the band began to publish new material in 2001 for the follow-up to Gemini.
