Cesium_137 is Vince Guzzardo and Isaac Glendening. Blending elements of EBM, trance, synthpop and IDM, the two have set out to create a unique form of emotive electronic dance music. Cs_137 originally formed when Matt Cargill and Isaac Glendening became close friends in 1995 while in high school. Both teens were enamored with the rising dark-electronic music scene and began to collaborate under the official banner of Cesium_137 in 1997. As time passed, lineups changed due to life circumstances, and Vince was brought in as a permanent member of the band. 
Over the course of a good few years, they wrote and recorded a few albums, all of which were critically acclaimed. What started out as an aggro-EBM act has evolved into a band which embraces the sounds of trance, synthpop, new wave, and industrial. While never forgetting their roots and always exploring both fictional and true to life themes, Vince and Isaac are never content to rest on their laurels. "Science and Sound" which was released in 2012, was a beat driven meditation on the beauty and isolation of a technologically advanced world. And, come January, they are releasing what they feel is one of their most accomplished works yet. "Rise To Conquer" comes out in January on Metropolis Records.

Jeyênne alias XPQ-21 was born in Italy and eventually made his way to Berlin. He is a singer-songwriter-producer who performs and writes in English and German. His work includes recording, producing, songwriting, DJing and live performance.
His musical origins lie in catholic organ and electro punk, and he was later influenced by the dark wave of the late 80s, 90s rave and 2000s industrial techno.

He played in countless raves in the 90s, performing regularly under the pseudonym The Jeyênne . He played with @theprodigy and @moby on their 1995 German tour. Viva and MTV played his "Das Nippel" in rotation, while Front242 contributed a remix of his Darkness single ‘Mayday 1995‘.  More raves followed until he creates XPQ-21 in 1998, his Industrial Goth EBM project, followed by his own label.

For 10 years he toured through Europe and the USA. At the height of his success, Jeyênne retired and started his own school in Germany: the EMS - Electronic Music School, with locations in Berlin and Cologne (www.em-school.com)

The following years were filled with tragedies and crises, which did not stop him from continuing to work on his production, sound design and his unmistakable way of creating music.

In 2019 he releases on one of the EMS labels a new single remix for Jeyênne. In 2020 he releases remix for XPQ-21 and his industrial techno project @korgenaamat. 

XPQ-21 have published all releases digitally again in 2020.
2022 marks the release of MACHINES, followed by TEMPTATION 2023 and WHERE MINDS COLLIDE (with Laura Friedland) in 2024.

Jeyênne is currently working on the next XPQ-21 album.

Needing an alternate outlet to explore his musical ideas and styles that did not fit into God Module, Jasyn Bangert created Hexheart. 
The idea of this band was never meant to simply be a side project. Instead it will be its own separate entity and a stark departure from the dark Industrial legacy Bangert has built with his other work. 
Hexheart combines Darkwave and Synth-Pop electronics.  

Turn off the lights, dance in the dark and find the melody in the melancholy with Hexheart.
