Description: From the opening synths and distortions of the opening track, Individual Totem's new album "Mothfly" announces itself as crucial, difficult, cerebral, and... industrial. What do you do with a new single whose dance beat comes in at the 2-minute mark? If you're a label, you run away. If you really like industrial music, on the other hand, you recognize "Mothfly" for what it is: an industrial album which contorts and convinces, pulls you apart but creates an organic whole. The synths are simply great, the atmosphere is dark and elusive, the band asks more questions than they answer. "Mothfly" is often downtempo but equally it rages. It rages in dark places, alone, with vocals unable to scream, though screaming. It's a wonderful statement of psycho-analytic repression. The father lost in the son, or murdered, who can tell? From the opening and infectious "WWW" to the interesting and introspective "In Memorial", to the Skinny Puppy-influenced "The Ugly Game", "Mothfly" is quintessential industrial music.

Comprising two electronic music pioneers, Bernd Madl and Mathias Knopp, Individual Totem began making music in the early 90s and released their home-made album, "Aspects Of Theories And Reality" in 1994. Following this, the band was signed to Off Beat in Europe and Pendragon in the United States and released two now-classic CDs: "S.E.T.I." in 1996 and "Mind Sculptures Flesh" in 1997. Following a long hiatus and a comeback that never materialized, Individual Totem eventually released the "WWW" EP digitally on Artoffact Records in late 2007.

We are happy to bring the first Individual Totem studio album in 10 years to industrial purists and electronic music fans across the globe. We are able to make available a limited number of "WWW" EPs with the first orders of "Mothfly". These are highly limited, so if you want one, order fast! The price for the limited 2 CD Mothfly/WWW is $19.99.
