The Klinik

Klinik, a Belgian electronic industrial group, was founded in 1980 by Marc Verhaeghen. Initially a solo project, Klinik evolved into a duo with Dirk Ivens joining in 1985. The band released their debut album Sabotage that same year. In 1987, they released the albums Plague and Melting Close + Sabotage. Known for their cold, raw electronic sound and distinctive live performances, Klinik gained prominence in the late 1980s. Their notable songs include "Pain and Pleasure" (1986) and "Fever" (1989). In 1991, after releasing Time, Verhaeghen and Ivens parted ways due to creative differences. Verhaeghen continued as Klinik, while Ivens focused on his project Dive. Over the years, Klinik released numerous albums including Awake (1996), Blanket of Fog (1998), and Reset (2017). In 2004, Verhaeghen collaborated with Vidna Obmana on the series 7 Deadly Sins, which included releases like Gluttony and Greed. Klinik's music evolved to incorporate ambient and techno elements.
