In Strict Confidence is a German electronic music group known for its blend of dark wave and industrial music elements, characterized by emotive vocals, atmospheric soundscapes, and a dynamic synthesis of electronic beats. The band was formed in the early 1990s by Dennis Ostermann, who serves as the lead vocalist, creative force, and the consistent member throughout the band's evolution. Initially rooted in the electro-industrial scene, In Strict Confidence has continually evolved their sound, incorporating lush orchestration, pop sensibilities, and even elements of gothic rock into their expansive musical palette.

Over the years, In Strict Confidence has amassed a dedicated following with their sophisticated sound and high-quality production. Their discography showcases a willingness to experiment and reinvent, with releases such as "Hate2Love" and "Mercy" reflecting their ever-evolving approach to music. The thematic and sonic diversity found in works like "Mechanical Symphony" and "The Hardest Heart" demonstrates the depth and complexity of their artistry. With an impressive body of work that spans over three decades, including the retrospective "Lifelines" series, which collects extended versions of their tracks, In Strict Confidence continues to enthrall listeners and cement their position as a mainstay in the electronic and industrial music scenes.
