Terminator is also an established footballer and was signed to Queen's Park Rangers, but was released by the club in January 2008, and so joined Dagenham and Redbridge on a contract until the end of the 2007/8 season. It is understood that football is Terminator's main focus and he only emcees for recreational value. Terminator is recognized for his eccentric but highly creative lyrics and his sluggish flow, as well as being the creator and champion of a somewhat sub genre of grime known as "darkside".

While the name is in English, all lyrics were in Czech. The album was well accepted and the band got concerts through Europe. After some lineup changes, band released a second album called "Plugged!". Its name is a parody on "unplugged" albums very popular in the 90's. On second album, all lyrics were written in English. Terminator disbanded in 1996. 3. Terminator is one of the names used by Russian dark psytrance producer Victor Zolotarenko, most famous for being half of the duo Parasense (Paranoiac Sensations).
