[WintarNaht]

This is for all the industrial fans on CF.
I am requesting a background that looks like this...

Of course it will need to be trimmed down.
As far as the name goes, it should be called Argyle Park.

But I need to know, what is the background of this particular item? (Background = history = story behind = origins, etc) :)

Here is the background.
Argyle Park was perhaps the MOST influential album of the '90s. Named after their childhood hangout in Long Island, Argyle Park was formed in late 1993 by two guys, Buka and Scott Albert [Klay Scott, Dred, Tox, Celldweller, etc.] of Circle of Dust. The two of them decided to form the ultimate music project, melding thrash, speed metal, hard techno and ambient sounds with an angst-filled, in-your-face message to create a unique sound that was wildly popular with both Christian and secular industrial music fans. They featured Christian artists such as Klank of Circle of Dust, Christy Sweet, Mark Saloman of Stavesacre and The Crucified, Jyro Xhan of Fold Zandura, Mortal, Folzan, Jyradelix, and Juggernautz, Jeff Bellew from Chatterbox, and Sill from Alexia. They also featured a couple secular artists, Jim Thirwell of Foetus and Tommy Victor of Prong. Together, they made an album that was nothing short of phenomenal. When they put on their one and only concert in 1995, they performed a much mellower track that never got on the Misguided album. It was released on Circle of Dust's album, Disengage under the name Babylon. Before the concert, Buka gave a short eulogy which abruptly ended with the words, “Argyle Park is dead.” Until after everything had fallen into place, no one knew how prophetic Buka’s statement was. Since many Christians thought Argyle Park was too “intense” and “unchristian“, Argyle Park was forced to close. However, no sooner had it been closed then the same people who were against Argyle Park, wanted more. Klay was so disgusted and disillusioned by all of this that he, sadly cut off most his ties to Christianity. Everyone went their separate ways. Celldweller went to form his band Klay, Buka went off to be an MTV producer and Level[Dan Levler], started making industrial like his brother Klay. A short time later, to please the vicious public, Buka and Level formed AP2-Argyle Park 2. They toned down the music and had a lineup of some the best Christian artists of the time. The first track, titled The End featured the eerie sounds of someone falling while yelling, “I am the damaged, damaged...”. Later in the song, during a strong guitar riff, you can hear a man chanting, Still born / Dead soul / Rotting from within. The first vocal sample was from the Argyle Park song, A Burden’s Folly. The second, Leave me Alone. The End symbolizes the end of Argyle Park and the birth of AP2. The last track on AP2’s Suspension of Disbelief, Cold Breath of Sorrow shows the grief that leaving Argyle Park was to everyone that was touched by it. It is emphasized by Level passionately whispering, “Its over. Its all over.”
That is about the end of the Argyle Park saga. Level is currently a producer at Flaming Fish records, Celldweller is making video game music and Buka has mysteriously disappeared.
When the Argyle Park’s name is spoken, a diehard music fan will remember the strange, powerful, project that started only to make a cover of Steve Taylor’s song Drive, He Said.
