Mather previously had experience with electro-industrial music in his former band, Aslan Faction. After some time, Aslan Faction stopped performing live and making new music, which persuaded Anthony Mather to devote himself totally to Tactical Sekt. The album Geneticide was soon put out and it featured, as Ant said in one interview: "...mostly songs that didn't fit into Aslan Faction music profile...".
Soon after Geneticide in 2003, Burn Process was released. The music and the atmosphere was much more euro-trance alike, emphasizing that Aslan Faction days were over.
In the following years Tactical Sekt were mostly performing live and doing remixes for other acts.
In spring 2006, Syncope was released.
In August of 2010, the band announced that after a long wait, a new album was in the works. There is no working title yet released.

Tactical Sekt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're on a mission
On a mission from God
We're on a mission
On a mission from God
We're on a mission
On a mission from God!
We're on a mission from God!
I'm on a mission from God
To bring before your eyes
To teach a lesson in hate
About your world of lies
On a mission from God
To get your gold
Because the army and the Kremlin is
Out of control
I'm on a mission from God
So pledge your sword
To hold your hostel in strength
So do what you're told!
On a mission from God
There's nothing more (to be) said
Unless conditions are met
Your children are dead!
Dead!
Dead!
Dead!
The lyrics of Tactical Sekt's song "Beslan" suggest that the singer is on a mission from God to bring forth the truth and to teach a lesson in hatred towards the world of lies. The mission seems to be a violent one, as the lines "To get your gold/Because the army and the Kremlin is/Out of control" suggest that the singer is willing to use force to accomplish their goal. The song then takes a more threatening turn as the singer pledges to hold their "hostel in strength," urging the listener to do what they are told or face the grim consequences of dead children.
The tone of the song is dark and ominous, with the repeated refrain of "On a mission from God" suggesting that the singer believes they are acting on a higher power's command. The lyrics also contain references to the Russian Beslan school siege in 2004, where Chechen militants held over 1,000 people hostage, including 777 children, resulting in the deaths of over 300 people, many of them children. The song's lyrics seem to be advocating for violent retribution against those responsible for the attack.
Overall, the song's lyrics are provocative and disturbing, painting a picture of a violent and vengeful worldview.
