Besides Chris, the original lineup included Jens Gärtner who provided the drums and loops. In 1997, Manuel Selling was added to the lineup to provide the guitars. In 2000, Manuel left the band and Gordon Mocznay took over on guitar and bass guitar. A year later in 2001, Louis Manke joined the band as well, adding a second guitar to the band.
Terminal Choice was Chris Pohl's main and most well-known project, and they have enjoyed great success both in Germany and abroad, and are often compared to and sometimes referred to as a precursor to another popular German industrial-stomp band, Rammstein. The success of Terminal Choice has also transferred to the other members of Terminal Choice, as Chris helped Gordon form his own band known as Mordorn and also helped Louis form a band named Staubkind. Despite being involved with numerous bands, all members are still creating music with Terminal Choice and an album with the title "New Born Enemies" was released on the 28th of July, in 2006.
Terminal Choice released their last CD Übermacht in 2010.
Injustice
Terminal Choice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is this really our destiny?
Is there nothing we can do
To prevent the ultimate end of time
In every human being
Exists the seed of evil
And every day some of them try
To keep it down
We have to fight against injustice
Try to understand
It's not the way we want to live
We want to resist
We have to fight against injustice
Try to understand
We have to break the chains tonight
This will be our chance
There are always some human beings
Born to infiltrate
Our wonderful life
Spreading the seeds of evil
They lead us in the wrong direction
They want to gain
The ultimate power
Using us for their plans
The lyrics to Terminal Choice's song "Injustice" touch on the dark side of human beings and the world that we live in. The song questions whether the future is predestined, plagued by hate and fear, or whether there is a chance to change the course of events. The seed of evil exists within every person, and some make the effort to resist it. The song urges listeners to fight against injustice, to break the chains binding them, and to strive towards a better future.
The lyrics of the song convey a sense of desperation and urgency. It's as if the band is calling out to the audience, urging them to take a stand against the corrupt leaders and movements that threaten to destroy society. The song's message is reminiscent of many other protest songs that aim to challenge the status quo and inspire change.
