Xotox - Hyperactive - Best of
xotox was founded in 1998 as a solo-project by andreas davids. adequately
described by himself as "industrial for hyperactive people", the xotox-sound
is characterised by hard beats, catchy melodies and merciless noise-attacks.
the debut-album "stueckgut" developed a small cult following, which eagerly
anticipated the following releases "epos" and "monolith". with the release
of "disinhibition" xotox started performing live around germany, winning
more fans and attracting media attention for the first time. the following
albums "normalzustand: angst" and "rhythm of fear (live in jena)" got a
variety of great reviews. in 2002 "silberfieber" and the minialbum "nothing"
were released featuring the hits "eisenkiller", "nothing", "null" and
"zweischicht", which went on heavy rotation in many clubs in germany. both
releases had this success resulted in xotox being picked up by industrial
label pronoize, which in turn led to xotox getting a much higher profile in
part through their
contributions to high profile compilations such as "industrial frequencies
vol. 5" and "industrial highlights vol. 1" both put together by the german
scene magazin orkus.
Hyperactive is Xotox's first North American release, and this best of is the
perfect introduction for one of Germany's must brutal bands. Includes three
previously unreleased tracks!
