The Klinik 1985-1990 // 2003 // 2009-Now Are Belgian Ebm / Minimal / Synth / Post-Punk / Electro / Industrial / Power Electronic Pioneers. In 1985 Marc Verhaeghen X10 D-Sign Noise Unit Para Joined Forces With Two Other Bands Absolute Body Control - Dirk Ivens Dive Sonar Blok 57 Eric Van Wonterghem Insekt Sonar Monolith // And The Maniacs - Sandy Nys Hybryds To Form One “super Group” Absolute Controlled Clinical Maniacs. This Rather Unwieldy Name Was Soon Dropped In Favour Of The Shorter Name "The Klinik". Nys Soon Left The Band To Form Hybryds Followed In 1987 By Van Wonterghem Leaving The Klinik As The "classic" Duo Of Dirk Ivens And Marc Verhaeghen. The Klinik Soon Made A Name For Themselves With Their Cold And Harsh EBM Sound And Their Live Shows Where Both Ivens And Verhaeghen Performed With Their Heads Wrapped In Gauze Wearing Long Black Leather Coats. Ivens' Hissing Vocals And Minimalist Lyrics Were Complemented By Verhaeghen's Synthesizer Skills And Distorted Trombone Playing The Latter Giving The Music A Slightly Feverish Sound . This However Did Not Last Forever After Time An Album Neither Member Was Fully Pleased With Musical Differences Became Too Great And They Decided To Go Their Separate Ways. Ivens Concentrated On His Own Project Dive And Verhaeghen Continued As Klinik Sometimes As A Solo Project Sometimes With Various Other Members. Recently Klinik Is A Verhaeghen Solo Project Making Mostly Instrumental Dark Ambient Techno. Most Klinik Members Have Also Been Active Outside The Band. Ivens Has Been In Bands Such As Absolute Body Control Dive Sonar And Blok 57 Eric Van Wonterghem Played With Ivens In Absolute Body Control And Has Later Been Part Of Or Collaborating With Bands Such As Insekt Monolith Dive And Sonar.
