Patrick began his music career in 1997, with the establishment of industrial bands Breech Doll and Another Earthly Dimension. After releasing numerous cassettes under those project titles, he left them in 1999 and founded Media Violence and Neuroexorcism.

Media Violence is an industrial electronic/metal band that began in 2000 and has released eight albums between 2000 and 2009.
