Cyborg Attack was formed in 1995 by Tino Weidaue (keyboards) and Raik Wild (vocals), with the subsequent incorporation of Uwe Schimmel in 1996 as additional keyboardist.

Cyborg Attack's musical style has generally been described as old school EBM[10][11][12] with metal influence.[13][14] The band's motto "Resistance is futile" is a reference to the Borg, an alien group that appear as recurring antagonists in the Star Trek franchise.[15][16]
