Militia is a Belgian industrial band from Bilzen-Rijkhoven in the province of Limburg.
Co-founder Frank Gorissen was active as an industrial music DJ
at the independent radio station Radio Demervallei in Diepenbeek.
For his radio show Radio Militia, he sometimes invited musicians who played in the radio studio.
There he met Jo Billen and together they founded the industrial project Militia in 1989.
In 1990 Jo Billen left the band and continued with his projects Onehouse and The Lama Home Band.
Most of their percussion instruments are made out of oil barrels, old metal parts from cars, machines and scrap material. They combine these self made instruments with conventional drums, toms, cymbals and electronic instruments.
The band members also play a variety of wind instruments (self made and others)
while their live shows are completed with the projection of documentary films and slides.
Militia present in 1996 their first official album "New European Order", a 3 LP set in large fold out cover, 
released by the German cult label Praxis Dr. Bearmann.
In 2017 the album was re-released as a double CD via Old Europa Cafe.
