Flemish origin Pro Patria was founded in 1988 by Peter Vercauteren (aka PVC). The band evolved into EBM and eventually signed with Celtic Circle Records. Out of this collaboration arose "Quod Erat Demonstrandum". Unfortunately, C.C. faced bankruptcy and personal trouble meant the end.
In 2017 Peter was invited to play at the Familientreffen festival, which motivated him to produce "Back to Basics"
