1) Electro-Industri… Read Full Bio ↴There are, at least, two artists with this name.
1) Electro-Industrial project from Chemnitz, Germany, founded in 1994 by Dirk Steyer. Right after Kay Resch followed his musical inspiration and joined the project.
Inspired by Electro-/Techno-Acts of the early nineties, 1996 Accessory themselves published a first tape: "Electronic Controlled Mind". Half a year later followed the official limited CD-release of "Electronic Controlled Mind" on the small label SD-Image. Further followed in self-release 1998 the tape "Injection".
At the end of the millennium Ivo Lottig joined the band Accessory. From now onwards he was a good support live as well as in the studio. In springtime 2000 Accessory went on tour through Germany for 3 weeks with AND ONE. At this time Kay Resch split up from the band and Jukka Sandeck came as the new third man.
Right after the label-contract with the record company OUT OF LINE followed. So, it happened that at the beginning of the year 2001 the first really official album "jukka2147.de" was released and it excited the German electro-scene as well as the international scene. Directly after the release the band had a tour again through Germany with Terminal Choice.
At the end of 2001 the EP "Deadline" was released, which brought up the Hit-Song with the same name Deadline". The breakthrough was done, what was also stated at the tour of 5 weeks with Hocico in March/April 2002. Everywhere, at home and in foreign countries Accessory excited its audience.
At the end of 2002 Accessory published the Single "I say go", which was pioneering for the album "Titan", what was released in May 2003. Titan successfully continued the style and trend of Accessory ... and gave the band an enormous growth of new fans all over the world.
In December 2003 Jukka Sandeck leaves the band because of professional reasons. However, it went on straight foreward. A new album "Forever & Beyond" came out in April 2005. The first pressing of the album was released in a glamorous digipak inclusive a bonus CD with special songs and videos.
Afterwards a short production break followed in which mastermind Dirk finished a one year training as sound engineer. But in spring 2007 Accessory came back in concentrated energy as usual with the song “Ewigkeit”. Just a few months later the EP “Holy Machine” was released under Out of Line Music in August 2007. At the same time Ivo Lottig left the band because of job-related reasons.
In autumn 2007 Mike Koenigsberger accompanied Accessory. Together they finished the work on the latest album “More than Machinery” which was released in March 2008.

Darkstar
Accessory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For this truth and pain
No longer mistrust
We can't stand the strain
I don't want to die
Would be the defender
When it means to deny
A magnified threat
A darkened mankind
The clouds of clearness
Were nowhere to find
Nothing to die for
In this situation
Nothing to live for
The last sensation
When the falling stars appear
Machines are out of control
Fires burn everywhere
Houses leave a hole
When the last sign fades away
There's nothing to retain
At the predicted day
The dark star enters the reign
The lyrics of Accessory's Darkstar are thought-provoking and introspective, forcing the listener to reflect on the true cost of knowledge and wisdom. The singer asks how much the listener paid for this truth and pain, suggesting that there is a steep price to be paid for enlightenment. They then go on to state that there is no longer any mistrust, but that the strain of knowing the truth is difficult to bear. The singer expresses a desire to defend themselves against death, but only if it means they can avoid denying the opportunity to surrender.
The song then shifts its focus to speak on the idea of a magnified threat, a darkened mankind, and the absence of clarity in the world. There is nothing left to die for in this situation and nothing to live for either, leaving one with a sense of hopelessness. The song concludes by speaking on the theme of apocalypse, with machines out of control, fires burning everywhere, and houses being destroyed. The last sign fades away, and the dark star enters the reign - perhaps signaling the end of the world.
