A long time ago, INDIVIDUAL TOTEM emerged as one of Germany's most innovative industrial bands. But even their most hardcore fans are not aware of the first real Totem release: a cassette-only album called "Mumia Vera", originally released in 1992. Now hopelessly out of print and all but forgotten, "Mumia Vera" represents the early stages of INDIVIDUAL TOTEM, a unique sound that was years ahead of its time, and the seeds of which would become one of the top industrial bands of the 90s. This autumn, Artoffact Records will re-issue a new version of "Mumia Vera", completely remastered and re-tweaked from the original cassettes, and incorporating the original artwork.
What is more, "Mumia Vera" will be released as a limited edition double CD, including the entire "Flow EP" (which features the Fortress A Remix, one of the best tracks ever recorded, period). The release will also feature previously unreleased live material, and the limited edition will come with two new INDIVIDUAL TOTEM pins.
