X Marks the Pedwalk was a German musical project whose styles ranged from industrial dance to electronic body music. X Marks the Pedwalk’s influence in the industrial and electronic music scene was considerable during the 1990s, as they were one of the first and best-selling acts from the now-defunct record label, Zoth Ommog.

X Marks the Pedwalk was founded by Sevren Ni-Arb (b. André Schmechta, May 13, 1969) in 1987. Schmechta - himself a classically trained musician - became interested in synthesizers at an early age, and found himself part of several bands after he was able to buy his first keyboard at the age of 16. At that time, his influences including bands such as Skinny Puppy, Kraftwerk, and DAF, Schmechta started a project called Scarecrow with his school-mate Regan Eracs (b. Jörg Böhme).
