They specialise in sound tracks to old silent horror movies. It was quite someting to watch and listen to.
From their 'MySpace Webpage':
The first seeds of Cape Town based TERMINATRYX (pronounced "terminaytrix") germinated around 2002 when lead vocalist Sonja Ruppersberg and extreme music veteran Paul Blom (of V.O.D - Voice Of Destruction, F8, and K.O.B.U.S.) took it upon themselves to create a musical project unlike any other in Cape Town and South Africa as a whole.
When it came to choosing a name, instead of a single concept, several layers were combined to include a range of movies, fetishes and mythical locations to encapsulate the specific mood. Movies like Tetsuo The Iron Man, The Terminator, The Matrix, and the Nexus replicants from Bladerunner / a strong female presence of the dominatrix / the river Styx - All of this fused to create the TERMINATRYX phenomenon.
In the early stages, around 2003, first guitarist Tom Somers left for Scotland which led to songwriter Paul taking care of all the instruments (including guitars, bass, drums, programming, keyboards and backing vocals).
The duo of Sonja and Paul is enhanced with additional personnel when it comes to live performances (Ronnie on drums and Patrick on guitar).
The first of these live performances came in 2003 when TERMINATRYX was chosen as support for German Darkwave legends Diary Of Dreams on their South African tour. The 8-song repertoire at that stage was expanded to include over an album's worth, with pre-production samplers making the rounds.
The sound also took shape to create a unique Industrial-Metal blend with female lead-, and male backing vocals, which was quite rare in Southern Africa at that time, but is becoming more commonplace.
2004 they used TERMINATRYX and F8 music in their short film, imPERFECTION.
The debut album release was always on the horizon, but time simply seemed to dissolve with Paul & Sonja's other activities including the creation of film festivals like the annual South African HORRORFEST in 2005 (for which Sonja is also the poster-girl) and the new X FEST.
In between rare live performances which included appearing at the Popkomm festival in Berlin, Germany (2006).
Each year TERMINATRYX also performs original live soundtracks to the screening of classic silent horror films at the annual South African HORRORFEST (incl. NOSFERATU, THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI, HAXAN, and MACISTE IN HELL). This is done in conjunction with musical collaborators Sean and Simon (from LARK - on upright bass, flute, theremin, drums, percussion etc.), as well as Matthijs Van Dijk (on electric violin). Accumulatively this musical project is known as THE MAKABRA ENSEMBLE. Other guests are also incorporated for this unique audio visual experience.
In 2007 Simon showed interest in mixing the anticipated TERMINATRYX album at his Cape Town based Sound & Motion Studios. The proposed timeframe passed and early 2008 they put their collective foot down and booked the studio for March. Paul produced (and executive produced together with Sonja) and recorded all the tracks at Flamedrop Productions. Mixing commenced with Simon at S&M early March with the album released mid-May 2008 thru ENT Entertainment, and followed with launches in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Pretoria.
Live highlights of 2008 included the Cape Town album launch (4th July) where TERMINATRYX performed at the Labia Theatre in the 200-seater cinema with a huge synced-up video projection show accompanying the entire performance. The show was followed by a pre-release screening of werewolf movie Skinwalkers - a new kind of double feature!
Within a single week in August, TERMINATRYX performed as support for two international acts visiting South Africa independently - incl. Sheep On Drugs (16 Aug) and VNV Nation (22 Aug).
Halloween 2008 also saw the release of the TERMINATRYX / NOSFERATU DVD, featuring music videos, live clips, photo galleries, their short film imPERFECTION, and the classic 1922 silent vampire film NOSFERATU with the new TERMINATRYX soundtrack (as performed live to the film's screening at the 2006 South African HORRORFEST Film Festival, together with special guests).
In 2009 Paul & Sonja created and compiled the KOPSKOOT! album (translated: "headshot!") - the first ever collection of strictly heavy Afrikaans music from Metal and Rock to Industrial, Electronic and everythign inbetween.
Mid-2009 TERMINATRYX embarked on the remixing of the debut album, calling in remixers like Industriezone (Austria), Sheep On Drugs (UK) and South Africans like Battery 9, Axxon, NuL, Jekyll & Hyde, iRONic, Francois Blom (V.O.D / K.O.B.U.S.), Theo Crous (Springbok Nude Girls / K.O.B.U.S.), and others. It is aimed for an early-2010 release.
With a natural aversion to cheap commercial sentiments and a blind consumer society, TERMINATRYX is truly a unique South African audio adventure, looking at the world with a satirical eye as they take the listener through a juxtaposed range of sonic intensity and calm, fusing technology with the organic in a David Cronenberg vs. H.R Giger trip.
In a televised talent show, and mock reality drenched commercial media decline, TERMINATRYX is not merely a breath of fresh air, but a long awaited new direction out to rattle the cage just enough to make a saturated public stand still and think, "hey, there's more to it than this..." - even if for only a moment.
But as we know, a moment can be a multitude of infinities - depending on the way you look at it.

Notes Very good surprise !
Uploaded with the Flock Browser
for several reasons:
there a so many i am thinking of posting more later
what started me on this rant is that i fond this stone on the beach at the end of the summer with a my space page address on it and thought brilliant how random what a grate way of promoting you myspace page. so of course i typed in the address and and thought i leave a little note say hello i found your stone but i can't because there page will not let me send them a message unless i am a friend. i added her as a friend but she never added me back, how crap. anyone on flickr can send me a massage usually they are some thing like how do you get you colors so vibrant what do you do in photo shop to witch i always like replying "there's no photoshop here!"
reason 1. because people can customise there pages and when people have no idea what CSS even stands for this can only mean one thing the worst designed web pages in the world. also who in the right mind thinks its a good idear to over lay green type on a photo that is mostly red? more people than you would think. i might get shexycorin to help pimp my space page cos hers is pretty cool and at the end of the day don't we all want to be all more like her
reason 2 some flickr users are bitching about yahoo owning flickr. since yahoo became flickrs sugar daddy i am sure they have stuffed a $100 bill into her bra now and again saying get you self something nice and then we get some nice new features. Rupert Murdoch now owns myspace and has it got any better? has it bullocks.
reason 3 the music player is shit! and considering that music is it main reason for being that's quite bad. i use my computer to lister to music, in fact i use my computer to pretty much every thing any way when i browsing the net i hate the fact that music starts mixing with what i am playing. some times you find a good tune and i think i will add them as a friend so i can follow what there doing, once you click on the link music stops! should be more like the paler on www.trackitdown.net/ when you click on a new page the music dose stop but once reloaded it dose play from the point where it left off.
reason 4 i was on some ones myspace just earlier and i wanted to leave a comment after signing in twice it said that i could not leave comments on peoples page where not in my contacts. most i just a error message
reason 5 i am not as popular on myspace as flickr
more reasons to come i am only just getting started
after this little rant you should check my my space page before it is deleted. in fact don't bother its shit! but just in case (www.myspace.com/kevinmeredith)
i found some old japan photos. this is on top of mount misen on miyajima island.
this is my unintentional myspace angle that resulted from trying to capture the island in the background.

Social Search Engine Face-off: Facebook vs. MySpace
By Erik Qualman (*)
Everywhere you turn, everyone's abuzz with Facebook, social search, and social networking. What's all the fuss about? As a marketer, are you missing the train? Or, if you move too quickly, are you jumping on the wrong train?
On the eve of search marketing's new year, does Facebook spiked with Live Search go down like the real deal? Or does guzzling Google-infused MySpace taste like you're drinking the latest Kool-Aid? (Another round of Second Life, anyone? Orkut on the rocks?)
There are many more social networks for myriad audiences: business (LinkedIn, Plaxo), older (Gather, Eons), travel (aSmallWorld, TripAdvisor), teens (eCrush), dating (Match, eHarmony), but we'll focus on the two giants for now: the Google and Yahoo of social search engines.
And when I say big, I mean big. The latest unofficial user figures have Facebook at 73.5 million and MySpace at 289 million -- numbers that have marketers across the globe collectively salivating.
Top 2 Questions: Facebook vs. MySpace
Question: What's the difference between MySpace and Facebook?
Answer: MySpace is starting to be stereotyped as a community for people who want to meet new people. Facebook is viewed as a community designed to keep you in touch with people you already know. Both points are debatable, so we won't go into depth here.
MySpace has also received some bad press lately as an enabler for pedophiles and other nefarious activity. Google faces similar problems in Brazil with their proprietary Orkut social search engine and online community. In your MySpace, as in life, there may be new people you don't necessarily want to meet.
Question: Why is Facebook getting more love than MySpace?
Answer: It seems a bit odd that Facebook is getting all the press these days when MySpace has more users and via strategic partnerships (e.g., Google) have shown they can generate substantial revenue (what I like to dub "socialommerce"). What gives?
Facebook is getting more hype as they're growing at a faster rate (admittedly easier to do with a smaller user base.) Plus, their technical platform is more robust, fostering future growth. Facebook has placed some risky bets that have paid off, adding to the excitement.
Roughly 16 months ago, Facebook opened up their platform to non-college students. Facebook originally was exclusively for those attending a recognized college or university. Facebook user demographics in areas like higher education and discretionary income are typically higher than those of MySpace.
Since opening the platform to non-college students, like-minded individuals have flocked to Facebook in droves. These individuals, while possessing similar psychographics of original Facebookers, have even better demographics for marketers: post-college education, high discretionary income, early adopters, etc.
According to a source within Facebook, the largest growing segment of Facebook is the lucrative 35- to 54-year-olds who enjoy the clean interface and higher privacy levels of Facebook.
Facebook also set the interactive world on its head when it opened up its application program interface (API) to allow any developers to write applications (widgets/modules) that reside within Facebook. Now everyone is following suit: ranging from iGoogle allowing widget development to iPhone opening up application development.
With Facebook, Wiki (pedia/search et. al.) open APIs, the world is truly moving the Web to open source ubiquity. These applications are growing quickly on Facebook. In the travel segment alone, there were at least 80 Facebook applications written as of two months ago. There are now 332 travel applications -- an astounding 400 percent increase.
The most popular travel app, TripAdvisor, enables Facebookers to place "flags" on an interactive map of all the cities they've visited (remember when a paper map on a wall and push pins sufficed?). TripAdvisor's application has roughly 85,000 active daily users.
TripAdvisor's mapping app wasn't even a new idea. TripAdvisor simply built a better mousetrap. Best of all, it's estimated that TripAdvisor only spent $15,000 to develop such an application by simply leveraging the Google Maps API.
From a brand equity standpoint, that's a resounding return on investment.
