KIFOTH Current Release : Acerbity Torrent

KIFOTH Bio

In spring 1993, K-head (composing, programming, sampling and acoustic performance) joined forces with Mir Colon (lyrics, vocals, sampling and programming) to form KNEEL IN FRONT OF THE EXECUTIONER. They made their first live appearance in March 1995, and released their first live-tape "First Time Public" a few weeks later.

In 1996, KIFOTH released their demo debut "Civilizative Collapse" and it was shortly followed by their second and last demo album "Ebola"(which was re-released by Vuz Records in 1994 to mark the band's 10th anniversary celebration). The overwhelmingly positive reviews have prompted KIFOTH to start recording their first official album.

"Spectaclebreakers" was released in early 1999 on Slovak label Front Music, and licensed to Germany's powerhouse electronic indie label Out of Line. A few months later, KIFOTH toured middle Europe with Hocico and made their debut appearance at Wave Gothic Treffen. In 2001, the band released their second album "Fundamentum Divisionis" and toured extensively throughout Europe.

In 2002, KIFOTH's career was put on hold due to Mir Colon's tragic car accident. After an agonizingly long hiatus, the band is set to return with a vengeance! "Acerbity Torrent" offers over 70 minutes of relentless electronic assault, perfectly blending the purest elements of old school EBM, authentic dark elektro and technoid beats. Gems such as "Proper Behavior", "Candle", and "Tyranny" will stir up the attention of young electro fans and bring back a flood of memories to anyone who actually lived through the glory days of old school electro. The album also features an infectious remix of "Proper Behavior" by the rising neo-old school act, Severe Illusion.
