Dubok began in 1998 by mutual friends in search of something more than the ordinary. In the fall of 1999, after only a handful of shows and demos, they were signed by Tinman Records. This new relationship would support the unveiling of an outfit that would soon change the rules of the industrial / dark music scene as they knew it. Dubok's debut was released in June of 2000. "Immersed" was a compilation of demo, and some new material recorded over a 2 year period.
