Primigenium was formed in autumn 1992 by Smaug and Alhaz.
After several rehearsals they entered the studio and recorded two songs

which were supposed to be released by Cacophonous Recs as a 7'' EP,

but due to some problems and misunderstandings the band decided to release the recording by themselves

as a demo under the title "As Eternal As The Night".

This demo tape was released in January 1994 and had a very good response within the black metal scene.
Later the demo tape was released on CD by Wild Rags Recs featuring an extra song for the edition.
In 1995 Primigenium signed with the Greek label Unisound Recs for the release of their debut full length album.

After the recording, which took place during December 1995,

some problems appeared between the label and the band so the deal was cancelled.

After receiving some offers from different labels, finally Full Moon Prods released the "Art Of War" album in 1997,

again with great reviews and reception worldwide.
In 1999 End All Life Prods offered the band the release of a limited 7'' vinyl,

so Smaug and Alhaz entered once more the recording studio.

The EP was released under the name of "All Your Tears Will Be Ours", and later re-released as a MCD by Full Moon Prods.
During some time, Smaug kept writing some songs and meeting Alhaz occasionally,

playing guitars and working on new songs together but without a proper direction,

as the future of Primigenium was uncertain.
In February 20001 they finally entered the Attack Studios for the recording of their second album entitled "Intolerance"

that was released in 2002 in CD and LP formats by Drakkar Prods.
After a long inactive period Smaug decided to return to action and during 2008 he started writing new songs.

Some of these were recorded at Moontower Studios in 2010 by Smaug alone, and later mastered at Necromorbus Studios. Primigenium third album "Faith Through Anguish" was released in 2011 by BlackSeed Productions.
During all these years, Primigenium remained as a studio band but at the beginning of 2012

Smaug contact former member Gorbag to play drums and some members from various bands from Madrid

to complete a line-up for live gigs.
During 2014-2015 five new songs were recorded at The Empty Hall Studios and released by BlackSeed Productions,

one of this songs as a Split 7'' EP with Aversio Humanitatis,

and the remaining four on MCD format entitled "For The Children Of This World".
The single "Svmmis Desiderantis Affectibvs" followed in 2019.

Dive is a Belgian industrial/ebm music project

that was formed in 1990 by Dirk Ivens (Absolute Body Control, Motor!k, Sonar, S/HE).
Dive's sound is characterized by the minimal and experimental use

of rhythmic and distorted drum machines that overlain with Dirk's vocals.
Dirk Ivens started in 1978 as a singer and guitar player in the punk band Slaughterhouse 

but left the group after one year to form the new band The Few.

In 1980 he formed the electronic band Absolute Body Control,

influenced by Suicide, DAF, and British artists like Fad Gadget.

After going through various members, Absolute Body Control soon settled as a duo with Dirk and Eric Van Wonterghem.
In 1985, Absolute Body Control joined forces with Marc Verhaeghen's band The Klinik 

and Sandy Nys' The Maniacs to form the "supergroup" Absolute Controlled Clinical Maniacs.

The name was soon shortened to The Klinik.

Nys left in 1986 and Van Wonterghem in 1987 to work on their own bands,

while Dirk remained a member until 1991, when he left to concentrate on his solo project Dive.
With Dive, Dirk sought to have complete control over his creative process

as a change from his many previous years working with bands.
In 1996, Dirk started Sonar together with Patrick Stevens, who left in 1998

and was replaced by long-time collaborator (and brother-in-law) Eric Van Wonterghem.
In 2003-2005 Dirk rejoined Marc Verhaeghen in The Klinik for a few festival concerts, without releasing any new material.

"First Album" was originally released in 1990 on vinyl format under the title "Dive"

and later in 1992 was reissued on CD featuring seven bonus tracks.
