A year in the making, 'Into the Hive' is the Offering's most ambitious work to date.

Covering Electro, Cyber and Ambient moods it captures the essence of the bands past and looks forward to the Future. A tour de force in its scope and breadth.

The band's influences are varied and many - Depeche Mode, Rush, All About Eve, NIN, Kate Bush, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers,Peter Gabriel, Siouxie and the Banshees, Thomas Dolby and Massive Attack to name but a few. From this mix, the band have carved out their own niche and are constantly working on breaking new ground.

'48 Hours in Tokyo' is featured in 'the Sanguinarian' movie and has also had worldwide radio and club play.
