Northgate (aka NG or NRTHGTE) is the personal project of Trevor (a.k.a. Evor Ameisie)

known for his involvement as Camerata Mediolanense's singer and percussionist.
The project exists since 1992 and was actually born before he joined Camerata in 1995

and therefore it is not to be seen as Camerata Mediolanense's side project,

although many CM's members collaborated and still collaborates with Northgate.
After some demo tapes, Northgate released in october 1995 the LP "Liturgie Pour La Fin De La Patrie",

printed in limited edition green vinyl (later some in black colour) of 108 copies on the Italian label L'Alternative Dramatique.
"Liturgie Pour La Fin De La Patrie" was recorded at home with a Tascam 4 Track Recorder in September 1995

and in 1999 was re-released on a CD version with some bonus tracks and with a different cover.
The project is still active and have released several albums since then

with their sound experimenting between apocalyptic ambient, industrial, electronics, dark-wave and psychedelia.

Weltschmerz was formed in 1994 by Anthony Duman after his experience in 1989 as the former Monumentum's bass player.
Firstly it was started as an one-man project, with Duman experimenting in his home studio.

Soon enough he released in the same year the first Weltschmerz demo tape, named "Metaphysical Baroque".
Desire to walk further didn't stop and in 1995 the first Weltschmerz CD "Symptômes De Ruine" was released,

on Duman's own label L'Alternative Dramatique.
The album sounded much better than the demo and received positive reviews.
Also Monumentum's first singer Mark Westfall participated in the release

as a guest vocalist on the Rosemary's Baby cover "See Woman See Human".
Nevertheless Duman decided to freeze Weltschmerz.
In 1996, he was welcomed as a bassist on the band Canaan and helped composing and recording two albums with them.
In 1998 Duman together with Mauro Berchi (aka Prejudice) recorded the first version

of the song "Colore Di Pioggia E Di Ferro" for the "Dissolution Fahrenheit" compilation.
In 2000 Weltschmerz went out of hibernation with a full line up featuring on vocals and bass Anthony Duman (aka Nothing),

guitarist Mauro Berchi (aka Prejudice), drummer Andrea Freschi (aka Indifference),

keyboardist Alberto Valdonio (aka Malice) and guest singer Arianna (aka Desire).
They rehearsed for one year and a half before recording their second, and last, album

entitled "Capitale De La Douleur" that was released in 2001 on Eibon Records.

Physika Kai Mystika was an Austrian project that was formed by Richard Widhalm in 1995.
Their name derived from the Greek Alchemic sript by Bolus of Mendes.
From 1991 to 1995 the band was known as Six Feet Below and played Gothic Metal.
In 1995 Richard released the first demo of the band under the title "Vermächtnis" using a drum machine and some samples.
The positive reviews prompted him to add Six Feet Below's keyboardist, Stoffl (aka Christoph Macheiner),

and help with the record of their second demo "Fall" that was released in 1996.
Richard Widhalm also released in 1997 the demo "Zen Koan" with his solo project Veda.
After few line-up changes, singer Kathi was added as a female vocalist extending the vocal lines of the project.
With her addition Physika Kai Mystika released their third and last demo entitled "Theravada" in 2000.
A full length album was in the future plans but the project was dissolved in early 2000s.
