yelworC (Crowley* spelled backwards) began in Germany around 1987, started by Peter Devin and Dominik van Reich. They developed a unique style of EBM, combining heavy bass lines, danceable beats, and horror film inspired atmospherics. Their first release, <<Brainstorming>>, was an instant classic amongst electro-industrial fans, and their Blood In Face EP was equally well regarded.
After much acrimony, however, Dominik van Reich quit the band to start his own project amGod, while Peter Devin took the yelworC name and worked on a variety of tracks. Due to a variety of factors (a house fire, the death of his mother, dissatisfaction with record labels), he postponed the release of what was to become the second LP Trinity (a release inspired by Dante's Inferno) until 2004.
Devin is currently working on the follow-ups to Trinity, which are described as inspired by the other stories of Dante's Divine Comedy: Purgatory and Heaven.
* Referring to British occultist, writer and mystic Aleister Crowley.
