Artist BiographyAvailable in:
Senser, a politically charged rap rock UK band, originally formed in South West London from a group of friends in the late 1980s. The initial line-up comprised Nick Michaelson (guitar), Heitham Al-Sayed (vocals), Kerstin Haigh (vocals), John Morgan (drums), James Barrett (bass) and Alan "Hagos/Haggis" Haggarty (engineer, producer, programmer) and in 1992 they were joined by Spiral Tribe D.J, Andy Clinton. The band toured in support of psychedelic rockers the Ozric Tentacles in 1992. In 1993 the band were signed to Ultimate Records.
In 1993 Senser released two indie singles on Ultimate — "Eject" and "The Key".
In March 1994 Senser released their third single, "Switch", which entered the UK Singles Chart at number 39. Senser's first album, Stacked Up, was released in May 1994, and entered the UK Albums Chart at number 4.
At the beginning of 1995 Senser toured the UK supported by Skunk Anansie before setting off to tour the United States with Moby. It was during this tour that the band decided to split over musical differences. Al-Sayed and Morgan left to form a new band with Haggis called Lodestar. The remaining members of Senser found a new drummer, Paul Soden, and set about writing Senser's second album.
During the spring of 1997 they recorded the second album. And in the summer of 1997 De-Senser released "Om".
In the summer of 1998 Kerstin was able to tour and the band released the second album, Asylum. Once again musical differences became apparent and in February 1999 the band decided to split.
The band, now with the original line-up in place, recorded and released their third studio album SCHEMAtic.
In 2009, they released How To Do Battle.
In 2013, they released their fifth album To the Capsules via Pledgemusic and toured with Erika Footman on vocals in place of Kerstin Haigh.
Senser's song "States of Mind", from Stacked Up was used as the soundtrack to the well-known demoscene production State of Mind by Bomb.
In 2012 one of their songs was also used in the soundtrack to the film "Learning Hebrew: A Gothsploitation Movie".
