Slovakian
duo ‘Mir Colon’ and ‘k-head’ have been
active since 1993. From the original name Kneel In Front Of The Executioner to
KIFOTH this live album wants to be a kind of testimony of their career. The

EBM-heads are familiar with the harsh EBM style of the duo. The album clearly
reflects some like spirit, but also appears to be a travel throughout the time.
From their last released album on EK Product to their self-released album as
Kneel In Front Of The Executioner, “Alive:d” has a lot to offer. The sound is
rather simple, into traditional EBM and mainly inspired by the 90s movement. It
reminds me a bit to bands such as Leather Strip -for some sequences and Skinny
Puppy –for some leads.

I’m not always a huge fan of live-albums, but this one is an interesting
visit throughout the band’s discography. I prefer the more elaborated cuts such
as “Electrosmog” and “Possessed By The Right To Modify”, but I’m also in for
the harder “Clandestine And Formidable” and “Crucified Thief”.

You can hear the live spirit emerging from the audience at the end of
each song, but there’s no trace of interaction between band and fans.
Conclusion:
If
you’re into intelligent retro-EBM strongly based upon the 90s genre, KIFOTH is
for sure a band that will give you pleasure!
