History[edit]

Cyborg Attack was formed in 1995 by Tino Weidaue (keyboards) and Raik Wild (vocals), with the subsequent incorporation of Uwe Schimmel in 1996 as additional keyboardist.

Style and themes[edit]

Cyborg Attack's musical style has generally been described as old school EBM[10][11][12] with metal influence.[13][14] The band's motto "Resistance is futile" is a reference to the Borg, an alien group that appear as recurring antagonists in the Star Trek franchise.[15][16]
