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.
We Are Back!
Terminal Choice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the year 2010
We are back and we do it again
We are back and we're better than before
Now it's time for Rock 'n Roll war
We are back and we are strong
We feel free and we feel alright
If you're against us, prepare to fight
Throw your hands in the air and make some noise
Everybody knows it's Terminal Choice
Throw your hands in the air, we are ready to attack
Everybody knows TC is back
It's the year 2010
We've grown older but we do it again
We are back and we're better than before
Now it's time for Rock 'n Roll war
Show me what you are
made of
Show me everything that you love
Feel the beat, let it pound through your head
We are back and we're not dead
