NOVAkILL became an actuality in 1996 when BONES and SiK, who had been running a club night together and performing separately, decided to pool their resources. Before their first album NOVAkILL contributed songs to two local and one German compilation. They also wrote some music for a short film. The first album, HARD TECH for a HARD WORLD, took about 3 years to finish as NOVAkILL took some time off to replace all their instruments with software.

Tzolk'in is a collaboration project between the belgium musician Sal-Ocin(Empusae)
and the french project Flint Glass(aka Gwenn Tremorin ). They both wanted to do a conceptual creation inspired by Mayan mythology and the ritual calender Tzolk'in. As their passion and knowledge grew, a ritual, mythical soundtrack emmerged. The music has elements of ambient, industrial, melancholic sadness and of course elaborated rhythms to enhance the
athmos-fears!

In 1997 Andy LaPlegua established the project, "Icon of Coil", which was primarily a concept built around a logo, graphic design and music. Soon after the inception, the music turned out to be the most important part of the concept and LaPlegua invited Sebastian R. komor, who he had worked with before on the project "Sector 9", (now called "Moonitor") in 1996, to work with him on the project as a live member. After just a couple of gigs and the release of IoC’s first single, "Shallow Nation", Seb became a full-time member.
