Seabound is anelectronic music duo fromGermany. Their lyrics are inEnglish and for the most part explore the human psyche and the way that everyday events can affect a person psychologically,^{[citation needed]} hence the band's slogan: "Seabound: Journey into Your Mind."

Seabound began in 1995 whenFrank Spinath andMartin Vorbrodt were introduced by a mutual friend. They were so different musically that they weren't certain as to whether or not a musical collaboration between them would work. Despite the uncertainty they decided to try an informal jam-oriented home project. They soon realized that with a more focused approach, they might be able to produce something quite special. They made the band official and decided to call themselves Seabound. They decided on the name because of Spinath's love of the ocean and the fact that Vorbrodt was born near the shore. The name also implies a ship leaving from a safe harbor into the unknown and sometimes treacherous seas, a metaphor for the band itself. For live concerts they are supported by Daniel Wehmeier on drums.

The band recorded demos, which erroneously have come to now be known by fans asWhite Nights, a hastily proposed and shortly afterwards discarded working title for theirBeyond Flatline album, and eventually caught the attention ofdependent.

Their debut albumNo Sleep Demon was released by Dependent in 2001. Drawing influence from the beat-oriented sounds ofFront 242 andCovenant, as well as new wave acts such asVisage andDepeche Mode, the album proved to be relatively successful in the EuropeanEBM andDarkwave scenes. Tracks such asTravelling andHooked were well-suited for club play; that exposure made the band known for their warm vocals, icy synth parts, and entrancing, sinuous melodies.

2003 saw the release of the single "Contact", which peaked at number 6 on the German Alternative Charts (DAC) and ranked #100 on the DAC Top Singles for 2003.^[1]

They took their time recording the follow-up albumBeyond Flatline. It was released in 2004 incorporating more of atrance influence into their sound. The duo embarked on a successful European tour with fellowFuturepop groupPride & Fall; this tour dawned the released a splitEP entitledBeyond Flatline Tour 2004. The release featured a remix of the duo's single at that time "Watching Over You". Later that year the duo's debut albumNo Sleep Demon was re-released asNo Sleep Demon V2.0 presenting new mixes of the songs "Hooked" and "Avalost".

In 2006 their third album,Double-Crosser, was released, reaching No. 1 on the DAC andGerman Electronic Web Charts (GEWC).^[2] The album also reached No. 3Hellenic Alternative Charts (HAC) and No. 6Nordic Alternative Charts (NAC).

In 2009, Seabound releasedWhen Black Beats Blue, an album containing rare and unreleased tracks. Seabound are the only bandDie Form has remixed, and this album contains a version ofDomination remixed by them.^[3]

After 2009, Seabound took a break since Vorbrodt married and moved to California. The band released their latest album Speak in Storms in February 2014 and scored an entry in the German Media Control Charts (MCC), the German equivalent to the Billboard charts. The album was released in three different editions, from which two edition are 2-disc versions and were limited. The Tempest Edition of Speak in Storms was released in Book form and sold out within 2 months after release.

Seabound has played various tours, mainly in Europe and North America. A complete archive of their live shows is available on their website.^[4]
