There are three bands using this name: a Californian electrogoth/industrial rock band, a Latvian thrash metal band and the band that Canadian artists Tara S’Appart (Elevator) and Ron Bates (Orange Glass) were in during the early 90s.
Collide: The Electrogoth/Industrial Rock Band
An electrogoth/industrial rock band founded in the early nineties, in Los Angeles. The name comes from the collision of musical styles – ethereal vocals provided by kaRIN, industrial music provided by Statik.
The Story of COLLIDE
”We just wanted to make the kind of music that we wanted to hear.”
Once upon a time, somewhere around 1992, two people met at an industrial dance club. One was very thirsty, so they asked the other to get them some water. After the liquid reached the glass, the two began a conversation, which became a friendship, and then formed a creative union.
The creative union became what is known as Collide. The primary core of the Los Angeles based duo is Statik and kaRIN. Statik is responsible for the sound orchestrations and overall production. kaRIN takes care of the vocals and lyrics.
“We never thought of starting a band, we just wanted to make the kind of music we wanted to hear. After the first few songs were finished, we thought the collaboration sounded like something special. A few songs later, we realized that the music we were making was really important to us. It would need a name. We thought long and hard and then COLLIDE came to us. We knew it was right, as it described what we were doing and the feeling of the music perfectly.”

Hello all Last FM music peeps, we have a little favor to ask, and feel free to spread the news!! We got an email last week from MTV, letting us know that our video "Mind Games" could possibly get into rotation next week, IF we get enough votes on their site. We're only up against FOUR other bands, so we can do this! We haven't made a video in quite a while, so it's pretty exciting news. If you're tired of boy bands or rap taking over, now is your chance for your voice to be heard! The voting is for the next installment of the MTV new artists show, The Freshmen. The show spotlights emerging artists on air and online, with the chance for one of the videos to get an automatic add into rotation on the channel the following week. Please vote online, starting NOW, and votes will end on Friday at 2:00 PM (EST) and be tabulated. Vote Here: http://freshmen.mtvu.com/ If you can take just a few seconds out of your day to vote, we would appreciate it it so much! Vote now... Pretty please =).

when the new CD arrived at my door i was so excited to get at it I cut off the top off of the autographed poster that came with it while opening. Ah well, it's really about the music. The packaging was great, wrapped like a Christmas present in multiple layers of black and blue paper sealed with a counting to zero sticker, lots of extras inside including an autographed CD and postcard! kaRIN and STATIC have given us some of their best work yet with Counting to Zero, Thank you.
