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.

Capital Fallacies
Tactical Sekt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Controlled extinction
Light is fading
Put to death
Strapped upon
A cold hard table
Blinded by
Tubes inserted
Sweat is flowing
Shaking, shivering
Fear is showing
So barbaric
With no reason
Call us civilized
Call it treason
It's the easy way out
Where you don't have to
Feel the burning chemicals
Eat your veins alive
Corroding you from the inside
Capital fallacies
Tax supported evil
Capital fallacies
Tax supported murder
Super power
Super killer
Super liar
Super criminal
Is nothing wrong?
Has nothing been learned?
An eye for an eye
Cannot be justified
The lyrics of Tactical Sekt's song "Capital Fallacies" are a condemnation of the death penalty and the premise of capital punishment. The song's opening lines, "Critical mass, controlled extinction, light is fading, put to death" sets the stage for an unrelenting criticism of the death penalty. The lyrics compare the entire process of capital punishment to torture: "strapped upon a cold hard table/blinded by fluorescent hate/tubes inserted/sweat is flowing/shaking, shivering/fear is showing."
The brutality of the death penalty is emphasized in the repeated lyric "So barbaric, with no reason/call us civilized, call it treason." This suggests that by resorting to such barbaric methods of punishment, society is in fact betraying its civilized values. The song further decries the corrosive effects of the death penalty by invoking the image of chemicals eating one's veins from the inside. Ultimately, the song concludes with the question: "Is nothing wrong?/Has nothing been learned?/An eye for an eye/cannot be justified."
