Eric Van Wonterghem, una figura important de l’escena de la música electrònica de Bèlgica, va cofundar Absolute Body Control i The Klinik, deixant un impacte durador en el gènere industrial/EBM europeu. Entre principis i mitjans dels 90, sorgiria un nou so industrial amb èmfasi en tambors i percussions molt distorsionades sota el nom de “soroll rítmic”. Eric, al capdavant d’aquest so, aviat crearia el seu projecte d’artista en solitari Monolith. Recentment, va llançar el ben rebut àlbum de 17 cançons “CONCRETE PLAYGROUND” al segell alemany HANDS. Coneguda per actuacions en directe captivadores i amb un ric llegat musical, Monolith continua sent una força influent en el panorama de la música industrial i electrònica.
