Die Brücke was formed in late 2005 following the break-up of the darkwave/EBM group Emergence. That project included at the time several musicians who would go on to form the fledgling DB, after creative differences forced Emergence to disband. The moniker of the new project was inspired by an early 20th Century German Expressionist movement of the same name, who were famous for their primal, unscientific approach to art. These artists named their movement Die Brücke, or "The Bridge", because they had envisioned a school of art which would be a symbolic link between old and new, between the past and the future. This vision is shared by the band Die Brücke, who bring many influences into the mix and strive to create something new, yet familiar. The tone of their work is dark, sometimes energetic, sometimes brooding, and involves the use of gothic, rock, electro, classical and even tribal elements to form a new and powerful sound that is avante garde, and yet sometimes reminiscent of the dark industrial-rock sound of the early 1990s.
