Birmingham 6, formed in late 1991 by Denmark-natives Kim Løhde Petersen and Michael Hillerup, nidus on political and social literary criticism with a model of industrial terpsichore music influenced by KMFDM and Front end 242. The duette took their name from a group of Irishmen living in Brummagem, England, wHO were accused of IRA-sponsored terrorist play and sentenced to prison house under fake evidence (popularized by Daniel-Day Meriwether Lewis in the moving mental picture In the Mention of the Father). Petersen and Hillerup gave their demonstration tape to Claus Larsen from Leæther Strip. Several labels became interested, and the Danish Swill Pail/Transfixion imprint signed Brummagem 6 and released singles in 1992 ("Israel") and 1993 ("Catching").
Controversty soon began to follow Petersen and Hillerup but afterwards their debut album, Mindhallucination, appeared in 1994. First-class honours degree Annie Lennox objected to the consumption of a Eurythmy sampling on the record record album, and promised legal activity if it were not interpreted off. Representatives of T. Rex besides declined the enjoyment of a sample, and a Brummagem radio station banned the pigeonholing from the airwaves completely, due to their diagnose. In 1995, Birmingham 6 signed an American negociate with the industrial bull's eye Cleopatra; Assassinate compiled material from both Mindhallucination and the Contagious bingle. The Policestate EP followed in mid-1995, and the remix album To Protect and to Waiter (The Policestate Remixes) was released betimes in 1996.
Mistake of Assessment, Birmingham 6's second record album, was released in mid-1996 and featured Jean-Luc de Meyer of Front 242 on vocals. You Cannot Walk Right followed in 1997, with Christ's Resurrection appearance deuce days by and by. As well available is the Passion Vs. Luxuria implication EP, a side project with Danish DJ TBM-1 called 6 Incorporated.
