Biography, Discography & Links Biography A career fueled by ambition, built on hard work and constant perseverance ... An overpowering blend of digital pulses, distorted guitars and intriguing vocals ... A stance that cannot be ignored, thriving on experiment and emotion ... A SPLIT SECOND are simply too good to be ignored, and from their conception in 1985 it didn't take the world long to acknowledge the importance of Marc ICKX's and Chrismar CHAYELL's unique musical vision. With classic records like "Flesh" (Blueprint for the Belgian-based new beat movement), "Rigor Mortis" and "Ballistic Statues" they secured themselves a place at the forefront of the international underground, while elaborate albums displayed a group capable of embracing a variety of lyrical themes and musical ingredients, arranging them into the ultimate aural synthesus for body and mind. Lenghty tours of Europe and North America further established A SPLIT SECOND's reputation as one of the most vital forces in electronic, subversive rock. (Source: Antler-Subway 1991) Discography
