Störung was brought to life In 1981 by two young individuals from Europe (the Netherlands). Eugenius and Arian Brunwin gifted the eighties their unique style of experimental 'Minimal' and 'Cold Wave'. Both in various recordings as well as on stage. Going back to the late seventies of the previous century, Eugenius played a number of years as a guitarist in conventional rock bands (Private Factory and Organic 4oh4). The lack of pure musical freedom and expression that was the result of playing in these bands made him decide to pursue and explore a totally different direction in order to remove musical limitations. The solution was found in creating a simple line-up consisting of only two musicians accompanied by rhythm machines. The rhythm machines were deployed as a foundation and triggered bass lines of sounds that came out of keyboards and bass line computers. The first result was a track written and recorded in 1981 called 'the Situation'. The track consisted of a lead guitar, bass guitar and rhythm machine. It was followed up by a number of songs, introducing the combination of distorted guitar sounds and keyboards. Memorable songs originating from 1981 are 'Radio Lines', 'Two Miles', 'Enjoy Your Leather (Jacket)', 'Macabre', 'Just Too Bitter', 'All Bow' and 'Dreadfull Dance'. 'Dreadfull Dance' and B side 'All Bow' was released as a 7inch single (on Clogsontronics records) in 1981. In 1981 en 1982, Störung toured extensively around Europe and the band gave numerous concerts and radio appearances. In 1982, the band released their first album 'This Is Future' (Clogsontronics). As the 'Dreadfull Dance' compilation was never released, the band re-recorded some of the Dreadfull Dance compilation tracks namely 'Radio Lines' , 'Two Miles' and 'Dreadfull Dance'. Both in 1982 and 1983, live recordings were made for radio (VPRO Radionome) and of a live concert at a venue called 'the Trojan Horse'. The track 'Empire SX' was released in 1983 on a Clogsontronics compilation album. A song called 'Warschau Pact' introduced the use of conventional drums (toms) vigorously played by Eugenius on stage. The band went into several studios in 1984 and recorded 'Arabian Nights', 'Desert Dance', Europe Calls You', Woman Of The Dark', 'Sun Go Down' and 'Siberia'. These recordings were also never released but the band continued to record and released its second album 'Inside the Black Box' in 1985. The album contained songs such as 'the Border', 'Circus Time', 'Sharpen the Metal' and it was followed up by a European tour that lasted from 1985 to early 1986. The band gave its last concert mid 1986. After 'retiring' from stage a recording containing a song called 'Wildstorm' and three other tracks that are lost and are yet to be found, were produced in 1987. This demo-recording wrapped up the eighties and was named 'Sewer Age 9'. Plans for the following decade were made but the band officially broke up in 1988. Still, during the nineties and the following years Eugenius continued to record (whilst struggling with life). In 2005, Eugenius was notified of renewed interest in Störung that made him decide to resurrect the heritage of the band. Since then, the forgotten material has been revisited by various record labels. Clogsontronics was the first record label to release a brain-draining track called 'INDUCTION - the Enochian Remix', written and recorded in 1999 that saw the day of light in 2007. The same year, US based label Minimal Wave released 'Europe Calls' on 7 inch vinyl. In 2008, Clogsontronics re-released the 'This Is Future' album on both Vinyl and CD in one package. In 2009, Storung (now without the dots on the 'o') started to make preparations for live appearances in a new line up consisting of dedicated musicians for Vocals (Noveria), Guitars (Eugenius), Bass Guitar (tba), e-Drums (tba) and Keyboards (tba). Still containing a flavor of 'Minimal' and 'Cold Wave', Storung has moved into a more heavier 'Industrial' sound delivering a spectacular show on stage.
