Terminal Choice is a German industrial band. It was formed by singer Chris Pohl (also of Blutengel, Tumor, Pain of Progress and owner of the Fear Section label) in 1993 when Chris was 17 years old. Their lyrics are divided fairly equally between German and English. The sound was originally primarily doomy electronic industrial with hard EBM rhythms, but with the 1998 album Navigator guitars were added which gave the band a harder rock edge.
Besides Chris, the original lineup included Jens Gärtner who provided the drums and loops. In 1997, Manuel Selling was added to the lineup to provide the guitars. In 2000, Manuel left the band and Gordon Mocznay took over on guitar and bass guitar. A year later in 2001, Louis Manke joined the band as well, adding a second guitar to the band.
