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.

Soulless
Tactical Sekt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blood boils
Counting the seconds
The demons inside me wail
Between the sheets
I tear the satin
Crash, crass evil
21st century soulless people
I'm so tired
Escaping consciousness
I wrestle sleeps prevailing winds
City to city
Nation to nation
I thank the devil for all my sins
Crash, crass evil
21st century soulless people
Soulless people
Scourge of the light
Pound of flesh
For creatures of the night
Crash, crass evil
Were all going to die!
If you want to live forever
Prepare these wings for flight
The lyrics of Tactical Sekt's song "Soulless" are about surrendering to the darkness and embracing the pain and chaos that come with it. The opening line "The devil is mine" suggests that the singer has made a deal with the devil and is now ready to face the consequences. They welcome the pain and the noise, symbolizing their readiness to embrace the darkness that is inside them. The next lines "Blood boils, counting the seconds, the demons inside me wail" further emphasize this intense struggle between the singer and their inner demons.
The second stanza begins with "Between the sheets, I tear the satin, like a train come off the rails." This implies a sense of uncontrollable passion or aggression, almost as though the singer is losing control of themselves. The chorus, "Crash, crass evil, 21st century soulless people," suggests that this behavior is not limited to the singer alone, but it is a common trait among people in modern times. The singer is so tired and overwhelmed that they cannot escape consciousness and wrestle with sleep's prevailing winds. They travel across cities and nations, thanking the devil for their sins as they go.
The final stanza again reiterates the theme of soullessness and the darkness that comes with it. The singer refers to soulless people as "scourge of the light" and creatures of the night. The chorus repeats the phrase "Crash, crass evil" which further emphasizes the singer's surrender to the darkness. The final lines "We're all going to die! If you want to live forever, prepare these wings for flight" suggest that there is no escape from death, and the only way to overcome it is to be ready to fly towards the unknown.
