Spring
1993, that is the era
when KIFOTH appear on
the world of music. K-head
(composing, programing,
sampling, acoustic performance)
and mir Colon (philosophy,
voice, sampling, programing)
established KNEEL IN
FRONT OF THE EXECUTIONER.
The protagonists of the
KIFOTH made the first striking
sign on March 1995 with
live-performance together
with industrial legend
Einleitungszeit, also Brazil
Morgue and domestic Morbid
Fancy. The first album
CIVILIZATIVE COLLAPSE is
the element of rhytm that
conquers all around by
its aggressivness and straightness.
The Slovak electro-fans
were amazed with the show.
To be proper, there is
released first-live-tape
FIRST TIME PUBLIC before
the mentioned above. The
tape maps the first material
did in Slovak language.
A very first live-performance.
The third record is EBOLA.
This album is remastered
and re-released on April
2004, as 10th anniversary
celebration, by VUZ Records,
including exclusive remix
of song "Possessed
By The Right To Modify".
KIFOTH uses English language,
but it wasn’t so all time.
The live-tape includes
song sang in Slovak language
only. This epoch well known
song is "Ježiš
Kristus" (Jesus
Christ). Original version
is on "Civilisative
Collapse" tape. A
natural continuance is
seen on the Ebola as song
Last Sermon. As bonus of
album "Acerbity Torrent" is
2006 version of the "Ježiš
Kristus".
Year 1999 is debut time.
KIFOTH’s first CD SPECTACLEBREAKERS
made by Slovak label FRONT
CD Records. Due to a perfect
arrangement, German electro-giant
OUT OF LINE took exclusive
west Europe & Interbeat
made the America. The same
year means the first Europe
touring for KIFOTH. K-head & mir
Colon with S.O.L.O. as
drummer went around the
middle Europe as supporer
of Mexican star HOCICO.
Since 1999 KIFOTH exihibits
regularly on Wave Gotik
Treffen festival.
FUNDAMENTUM DIVISIONIS
is name of the second CD.
The exucutioners flow down
into deeper spheres with
this album. Dark music,
harsh philosophical attitude.
As if my words are confirmed
with mir Colon’s health
upset. The singer puts
the KIFOTH’s future on
uncertainty due to his
dificult carcarsh. So the
time of neverending waiting
comes.
Audience of Strange fest’03
at Pelhrimov, Festival
of electro-industrial music
at Prague, Apocalyptic
Vision vol.4 at Bratislava,
Hulifest’06 had the oportunity
to take the experience
with the new material.
A concert that makes a
cut through the whole band
history. It seems KIFOTH
goes ahead to find out
the needed sound and performance,
developing the philosophy.
All this for to stand KIFOTH
back to the pedestal which
belongs to the band.
Internet fan has the chance
to check out the development
of album
ACERBITTY
TORRENT
with the song "Paradox
(Heaven Icon mix)" on
WEB compilation
www.be4.aliens.sk.
German fans can find song "Proper
Behaviour" on CD compilation
BODYBEATS, COP International.
As the 2006 pre-promo of
the forthcoming album,
KIFOTH made "Tyranny
set" (song, video,
picture). mir Colon comments: "I
do like very much the track.
At first, it is a reflection
of the actual world wide
being. And from the other
side, the music is about
decoying retro-elektro
punk beat with rap element.
The album temper is a mosaic
of various themes, styles,
basically said type of
songs.
The executioners let out
even message that they
feel themselves more generous
accorning to their electronical
being. They’re extremely
fastidious on themselves.
As frontmen’s confesion: "The
ACERBITY TORRENT is slushed
with blood of abused, full
of desparation tears, worried
by hopeless sob. It is
full of my drafts of hate
toward man slightness,
toward my mate. All this
under circumstances of
being modern civilization".
And the CD, 70 minutes
of relentless electronic
assault, perfectly blending
the purest elements of
old school EBM, authentic
dark elektro and technoid
beats is released by EAR/Vendetta
-

New album “Violence Corporation”
has risen similarly as the “Acerbity Torrent”
album. The composing took about 2 years. The
music is well-knitted. The authors fixed
themselves making the mixing better than ever
before. Therefore, the intention is to keep
the little difference as maximal as possible
but the compactness should stay inviolate.
I am surprised that it sounds fine even if
it has been described so intricately. I had
a chance to be closed down in the studio with
KIFOTH. The album delivers high-class sequences
electronics mixed with elements from the industrial
scene together with powerful rhythms and dark beats
infused with crazy techno influences. Slower and more
emotional tunes are also present like in “Egotism” or
like the futurepop-ish “Vermicular”. I really like
the opener “Microbiotics” but do not forget about
“Jihad” or “Manipulator” which are two heavy tracks.
