 German duo consisting of Knut Enderlein and René Lehmann

specializing in warped, strange and hypnotic sounds since 1991.
"Aldebaran" is the first pillar of Inade´s Audio Mythology with walls of solid pulsating sound waves,

crushing explosions of stellar noises, wails and voices dragged from the very depths of space itself, 

along with blanketing swathes of night-encrusted atonal skitterings echoing in dark cathedrals.
The album focuses on the German Vril society myths of "Aldebaran",

the black sun of the secret knowledge, from which universal spirituality is said to originate.
The ultimate document of deep and cavernous dark ambient.

They released the demo "Occultica" in 1989 followed by the demo "Psychotica" in 1990,

before releasing their debut album "Nomindsland" in 1992.
From 1994, with the album "There's Beauty In The Purity Of Sadness" the band moved towards

an experimental hybrid of progressive metal, gothic rock, industrial, and doom metal.
1995's "The Maztürnation" and 1996's "HyBreed" allowed the band to reach a wider audience,

resulting in them opening for American gothic metal act Type O Negative on their European tour in 1997.
In 1998, they released an EP entitled "NewRage World Music", which was re-released in 2001

and contains the original EP and four bonus tracks with minor alterations under the title of "New World Rage Music".

After the original EP release, the band perfected their progressive industrial-tinged sound

and their follow-up "Cold Dark Matter" album was released in 2000.
In 2002, "Sick Transit Gloria Mundi" was nominated for a Spellemannprisen,

the Norwegian equivalent of a Grammy Award and an alternative Grammy in the "Best Metal Album" category.
In 2004, Red Harvest released the album "Internal Punishment Programs" and in 2006 the "Harvest Bloody Harvest" DVD.
"A Greater Darkness" followed in early 2007 and in 2008, they released "The Redline Archives",

a compilation of remixes and alternate versions of previously released tracks along with a number of unreleased songs.
From 1998 and later their sound drew elements from industrial metal bands such as Godflesh and Ministry, Neurosis, Voivod,

fellow Norwegian black metal bands and certain styles of electronica, such as drum'n'bass, industrial, and gabber.
The band played a show on 24 October 2009 in Oslo, to mark the twentieth anniversary from their formation.
According to their official website, Red Harvest disbanded in May 2010, stating no specific reasons for the breakup.

They eventually reformed 5 years later in 2015.
Most of their members are also part of the project Dunkelheit.
