Sonar is a Belgian industrial music project formed in 1996 by Dirk Ivens, known for his work with Dive, The Klinik, and Absolute Body Control. Initially collaborating with Patrick Stevens (Hypnoskull), Ivens later partnered with Eric Van Wonterghem (Monolith, Insekt, Absolute Body Control). Sonar's sound is characterized by rhythmic noise, synthesized outbursts, and droning bass pulses, creating hypnotic beats that blend analog and digital elements. Their discography includes notable releases like "Alien Overdrive" (2006) and "Volt Control" (2004). Sonar has performed extensively across Europe, solidifying their position in the rhythmic-industrial genre. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonar_%28band%29?utm_source=openai))
