PreEmptive Strike 0.1 was created in 2002 in Agios Nicolaos on the island of Crete in Greece by Jim 'The Blaster' and Cryon. Having worked together before on electronic projects, they decided to form a band making the kind of music they enjoyed, combining the harsh Dark Electro/EBM sound with powerful melodies, eastern elements and sci-fi themes. 2005 was a landmark year for the band. The inclusion in the 'Endzeit Bunkertracks:Act I' compilation by Alfa Matrix with the track 'Lethal Defense Systems', fortified the band. It also marks the beginning of the bands cooperation with producer Dimitris Ntouvras at Lunatech Sounds Studios. The start of 2006 saw the debut release by PreEmptive Strike 0.1 entitled "Lethal Defense Systems" produced by Dimitris N. and mastered by Vasi Vallis (ex-NamNamBulu, Reaper, Frozen Plasma).
