DISCOGRAPHY
Written over years. Released in a flood.
Five instrumental albums, a concept record, three covers, three English records with Kat, a Berlin School album — and then the opera. The release dates are not the recording dates: these songs were written over years.
Albums
Regina
Act I of the Latin electronic opera. The Fall.
Orbis
Act II. The War.
Nox
Act III. The Void.
Aeternum
Act IV. The Balance.
Regina Live
Act I, performed live.
Blind Faith
The English record, and the closest Black Swarm has come to Depeche Mode’s Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion. Faith, grief and a God who keeps the books.

Psychosis
An instrumental Berlin School album.
Filth and Persecution
Dark electronic and melodic techno. Relapse, a performer on a needle, and a curse written in the voice of the spells the Salem accusers claimed to hear.
The Weight of Almost Nothing
Originals, plus covers of Blue October’s “Hate Me”, Terry Callier’s “Lazarus Man” and AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” — a deliberate upbeat ending after the dark material.
Widerstand
A concept album on resistance and tyranny, named for the German resistance to the rise of the Nazis.
Under the Influence IV
Instrumental.
Under the Influence III
Instrumental. Includes Prodigy of Anunnaki, a single 42-minute piece inspired by the title track of Jean-Michel Jarre’s Waiting for Cousteau.
Under the Influence II
Instrumental.
Under the Influence

Singles
Closer
