Named after a close friend of Gerrit, a radio operator (which translates, in German, as "Funker") in the German armed forces, Funker Vogt have already released three full length CDs, one twin EP, one EP, and one single since their 1995 inception. They have appeared on no less than eight compilations (including Electropolis, Electro Club Attack: Shot Two, New Violent Breed, and We Came To Dance 2000) and were tapped by Front242 to do one of the re-mixes on the Headhunter 2000 CD.

Often compared to bands such as Leaether Strip and :wumpscut:, Funker Vogt 's aggressive electronic style is based upon old EBM strategies, albeit mixed with more modern electro and industrial elements, not unlike when KMFDM were in their prime. It is this sound that often makes people refer to their music as being "back to the basics" of the genre. Stripped down power play electronics, Funker Vogt utilize a strong sense of melody within powerful rhythms, emphatic dance beats and distorted vocals.

Funker Vogt have taken the world by storm, with their hard hitting dance floor anthems and aggressive lyrics. In fall 2001, Funker Vogt took the United States with a tour de force in eight cities. To coincide with the tour, Metropolis Records and Funker Vogt released a special worldwide exclusive EP, Code 7477. This seven song CD featured mixes of "Funker Vogt," "Funker Vogt 2nd Unit," "Black Hole," and an unreleased track "Taxi Zum Mars."

For 2002 Survivor, was the first to feature live guitar in two tracks, as well as Funker Vogt's first ballad. Offering a new and refreshing complexity not seen in previous releases, Survivor's theme painted the future in a rather dark scenario with a titular hero being the last of mankind. To follow-up the album, Funker Vogt released Revivor in 2003, featuring remixes of songs from Survivor as well as a bonus multi-media section.

Nearly two years later, Funker Vogt returned with their much anticipated single "Fallen Hero". The 2005 single continued Funker Vogt's story of the "Tragic Hero", from Survivor.In fall 2005 Funker Vogt will release their first full-length album in three years, Navigator. This newest release touts stories of current events ("Friendly Fire," and "Reject"), war and the end of the world ("Stronghold," "The End," and "Fallen Hero") that dominate the lyrics. While "House of Sorrows," "No Tomorrow" and "FÜr Dich" are much more personal, taken from the band's own experiences and observations. Using new elements throughout the album, the band is anxious to see how their fans react to the new sounds of songs like "Reject," "Navigator" and "House of Sorrows." A new era has arrived for them and Navigator will show the band their way on the upcoming journey. - metropolis records
