Third Realm

Third Realm (a name signifying the current earthly plane) is a pioneering Dark Wave / EBM / Electro-Industrial project led by Nathan Reiner from Buffalo, New York. Since its inception in 1999, Third Realm has consistently shattered conventional genre boundaries, skillfully merging diverse alternative elements to create a distinctive and immersive auditory experience. The project quickly garnered acclaim with extensive club and radio airplay, securing placements in independent films.

A prominent live act, Third Realm has performed at esteemed festivals and conventions such as Dragon Con, Dark Force Fest (2023, 2024 & 2026), Convergence XVIII, and Wilmington Goth Fest III. The project has also shared the stage with celebrated acts including 3Teeth, Hanzel und Gretyl, Priest, Empathy Test, and Aesthetic Perfection (among several others). The current lineup features Nathan Reiner (Lead Vocals), Luke Vinland (Guitars), and Rob Early (Synths).
