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.

Terminal Choice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But there is fear inside your mind
You are afraid to close your eyes
Inside your body your small heart cries
He says girl my love is true
Don't tell your mom things we do
But you can't stand it anymore
It is to late he opens the door
Someone comes to you at night
Someone watches you while you sleep
Someone says baby, please don't cry
Someone wants to fuck you like a whore
Someone he's your nightmare
You see a shadow on the wall
He kicks away your little doll
Your hear his soft and friendly voice
He says, baby don't make a noise
But tonight you change your life
In your hand you feel the knife
You feel the knife
The lyrics of Terminal Choice's song "Someone" describe a very dark and disturbing situation where a young girl is being sexually abused by someone she knows and trusts. She is afraid to fall asleep and closes her eyes because of the fear inside her mind. In the song, the abuser manipulates and threatens the young girl, telling her not to tell her mother about what they do. However, she is no longer able to endure the abuse, and at one point, when she has a knife in her hand, she decides to fight back.
The song highlights the trauma and fear felt by victims of sexual abuse and the psychological impact it has on them. The lyrics are haunting and give a vivid, disturbing picture of the abuse experienced by individuals who face this kind of ordeal.
In terms of the music itself, the song has an intense and dark electronic sound, with a driving rhythm and a melodic chorus. The vocals are powerful and raw, delivering the lyrics with passion and emotion.
