My pieces of art about Suicide Commando (Industrial/EBM Band)a small study  dedicated to them!
Johan Van Roy, Suicide Commando's only member, began experimenting with electronic music in 1986. Three years later, he released his first tape under the moniker Suicide Commando, and made an appearance on the vinyl compilation, Electronic. As Van Roy continued self-releasing tapes, he landed more compilation appearances on Rotation II and Induktion, Varianz und Deren Folgen, both released by Kugelblitz records.

1994 finally saw Suicide Commando's first CD, Critical Stage, released on the German label Off-Beat. Shortly after, in 1995, Suicide Commando released Stored Images, which contains to date one of van Roy's most popular songs, See You in Hell.

1996 was the ten-year anniversary of Suicide Commando, and with it came the release of Contamination, as well as the limited boxed version, which contained a bonus 3" compact disc featuring previously unreleased material. Contamination was released a year later in North America by the now defunct Electronic Death Trip records.

In 1998, Suicide Commando released the album Construct-Destruct and its sister release, Reconstruction including new clubhits like Desire and Better Off Dead, the former of which was picked up by Possessive Blindfold Records for distribution in North America with bonus tracks.

Van Roy was one of the founders of the Dependent Records label in 1999. It was on this new label that Suicide Commando's next successful releases, two singles and one EP: Hellraiser, Comatose Delusion, and Love Breeds Suicide, accompanied Suicide Commando's 2000 release, Mindstrip, which reached the number one spot on the Deutsche Alternative Charts. Later the Mindstrip album also was licensed and released in North America by Metropolis Records.

In 2002 Suicide Commando release the DCD Anthology on Dependent Records, a compilation of the best and biggest suicide commando hits up so far, including all clubhits like "hellraiser", "see you in hell", "love breeds suicide" ... and offering some exclusive new remixes and rare versions.

For Suicide Commando's next release, Axis of Evil, a special edition double single called Face of Death was released beforehand, selling out in two days. The regular edition of the single continues to sell, and Axis of Evil was voted album of the year (2003) by the Deutsche Alternative Charts. In 2004 Suicide Commando released another limited edition double single, Cause of Death: Suicide + One Nation under God.

In 2006, Suicide Commando returns with the album Bind, Torture, Kill (also available as limited edition including a bonus disc, poster and sticker), featuring the single Godsend + Menschenfresser, released on Johan's own new label Noise Terror Productions, a new division of Dependent Records. The album once again reached the top position in several alternative charts across the world and got voted album of the month in the German Orkus magazine.

Released in 2007, one year after the band's 20th anniversary, the X20 boxset including 3 CDs (one remix CD, one best of CD and the Fuck You Bitch EP) and Suicide Commando's very first live DVD. The special remix CD and the best of album were later released as separate discs by Metropolis Records. End of 2007 Suicide Commando return with the song Hate me, their first new material since the bind torture kill album, released on the noise terror volume 2 sampler on NTP/Dependent.

In 2008 Suicide Commando started working on brand new material for their upcoming EP and new album.

In 2009 SUICIDE COMMANDO signs an exclusive european deal with the german Out Of Line label and a US (+ rest of the world) deal with Metropolis Records and finally returns with brandnew material in the form of a special limited 7" red vinyl featuring "until we die" and "severed head". It's the first SUICIDE COMMANDO release since 2 years and is the forerunner of the new single "die motherfucker die" (released in September 2009) and the new album + limited edition of "implements of hell", to be released early 2010. The album was released in 3 different editions, being a regular edition, a limited double CD edition including a bonus disc with remixes and rare material, and a special limited luxury boxset including both CD's + a bonus single + t-shirt + poster + postcardset. The album once again reaches top positions in several independent and alternative charts all over the world.

End of 2010 a 4th (!) single "death cures all pain" was taken from the successful "implements of hell" album and was released on Out Of Line.

25 years of SUICIDE COMMANDO, another milestone in the band's history ! To celebrate this unique birthday the band releases „the suicide sessions“, a luxury 6 CD boxset including their first 3 studio albums and 3 more CD’s full of rare and previously unreleased material from their early days.
