Much vaunted combination of Germany's Melodic Rock elite. THE SYGNET was fronted by JÜRGEN BLACKMORE, LETTER X and JADED HEART singer Michael Bormann and included former WILD AXIS, SHORTINO and SINNER guitarist Alex Beyroth alongside the MENDACIOUS MESSIAH and VANIZE credited André Hilgers on the drums. JADED HEART bassist Michael Müller also contributes.

In 2000 Beyroth and Hilgers would forge an alliance with erstwhile ROYAL HUNT vocalist D.C. COOPER founding Melodic Rock act SILENT FORCE.

Bormann was at the forefront of a new act RAIN in 2000. The singer would also guest on the 2001 HUMAN FORTRESS album 'Lord Of Earth And Heaven's Heir'. During 2004 Bormann participated in the 20TH CENTURY BOYS project, a pact with another highly respected German Hard Rock singers Michael Voss of DEMON DRIVE, MAD MAX and CASANOVA. The album 'Beware Of The Rex' comprised entirely T REX cover versions.

2002 would bring about an adventurous 'Rock Opera' project as a result of an alliance between Alex Beyroth, vocalist D.C. COOPER, PINK CREAM 69's Alfred Koffler and the VANDEN PLAS duo of Günter Werno and Stephan Lill entitled, MISSA MERCURIA.

Early 2005 found Michael Müller, still active with JADED HEART, sessioning for FARO. Beyroth also sessioned on fellow German Heavy Metal band CODE OF PERFECTION's debut album 'Last Exit For The Lost' and contributed guest guitar work to PINK CREAM 69 frontman DAVID READMAN's 2006 debut solo opus. André Hilgers joined RAGE in late 2006. In March 2007 Bormann enrolled himself into Swedish act BLOODBOUND.

In September 2008 AFM Records announced the signing of guitarist Alex Beyrodt's latest band project VOODOO CIRCLE. He would be joined on the eponymous album by singer David Readman, of PINK CREAM 69, bassist Mat Sinner, of SINNER and PRIMAL FEAR, drummer Mel Gaynor, citing credits with SIMPLE MINDS, GARY MOORE, BRIAN MAY and SAMSON plus keyboard player Jimmy Kresic.
