Side-Line introduces Totten Mechanismus – listen now to ‘We’re All Demons’ (Face The Beat profile series)
The 83rd track on our free download compilation “Face The Beat: Session 4” (featuring 92 tracks) is by the Russian harsh dark electro act Totten Mechanismus.
Totten Mechanismus was formed in 2008 in Miass, Russia by frontman Milkom Taus who is joined live by Olga Taus, Nickel, ATANT-i, and Alexander Taus. The music by the project combines dark electro/aggrotech/ebm/industrial with authentic medieval instruments such as bagpipes and lutes and immediately caught our attention when doing the selection of this compilation. Out now by the band is the single “Devil’s Snuff” for which a video is being shot as we speak.
You can find the project back on Facebook, make sure to check it out!

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
