France's most respected industrial sons, Treponem Pal make an impressive return to America with their new album, Higher. Produced by KMFDM mastermind Sascha Konietzko, Higher is a fierce new molotov cocktail. When Treponem Pal began in 1986, the genre was virtually ignored by the media, with only a few writers espousing the future glory of Front 242, Skinny Puppy and Ministry. Their self-titled debut arrived in 1988 on Roadracer (later known as Roadrunner) and Treponem Pal frontman Marco explained his vision for the band as a mix of industrial influences (including Einsturzende Neubauten, The Swans, Test Department), electronics (DAF, Kraftwerk) and even tribal drumming. With a brutal and beautiful mix of groove and hardcore, Treponem Pal began turning heads ... and burning ears.
In the late eighties, during the great Industrial Revolution (when many bands either fell into oblivion or dramatically changed their sound in an effort to cross over), Treponem Pal transcended its roots and toured Europe for two years with The Young Gods and Prong, developing a rabid following along the way.
The early nineties were spearheaded by Wax Trax!, the Chicago label which gave the world KMFDM, Front Line Assembly, Meat Beat Manifesto, Ministry, and many others. Their style sharply influenced the hard rock and metal scene, which suffered the last jolts of bland eighties rock. 1991 was also the year of Aggravation, a record that revealed Treponem Pal's powerful, sensitive and tribal elements. Treponem Pal focused on its vision of enlarging industrial's scope rather than narrowing it to one style that could be easily described ... or dismissed.
In 1992 the band toured with Scorn, Godflesh, Pitch Shifter, and during Lollapalooza, Michel Bassin performed as Ministry's guitarist and Marco was a guest singer for their live set. That year, Treponem.
In 1993, Franz Treichler of The Young Gods produced the critically acclaimed Excess & Overdrive, which featured the club hit "Pushing You Too Far".
With the addition of a new bassist, Treponem Pal signed with Mercury / PolyGram in 1996. While a number of producers were considered for the project, Sascha Konietzko of KMFDM was chosen to take the helm and the album was recorded in Seattle at Bad Animals Studio (home of Soundgarden and Alice In Chains' best work).
The sonic connection between Treponem Pal and KMFDM is clear, and Michel's turbulent guitar work also appears on the upcoming KMFDM album. The album presents the band's view of music at the end of the century, a sound that unites technology, power, wisdom and groove. The band also pays sly homage to their electronic roots with Kraftwerk's "Radioactivity," and offers a twisted new version of Lipps Inc.'s "Funkytown."
Treponem Pal knows the intoxicating power of the bass and how to move an audience. On Higher the message is clear : move your hips and your mind will follow.
1999 marks the beginning of a long downtime for TREPONEM PAL.
After 15 years of intense band life, the group feels the urge to take a break. Marco, involved in the creation of the HAMMERBASS label in 1995 (dub productions) is also busy developping the DUB ACTION sound system and proceeds to record a punky reggae album under the name “ELEPHANT SYSTEM”, produced by Adrian SHERWOOD, mad scientist of industrial punk and reggae dub.
A touring schedule commences followed by a complete break from music.
During this time, Marco is invested in the release of various compilations on different musical genres: gothic anthology, Rap Metal Masters, Big Up – a series of reggae compilations.
2006, the beast is back! Starting with a clean slate, Marco NEVES is more determined than ever to challenge and storm the french industrial rock scene where it all began. The goal is set to revive the energy of the early recordings, adding an electronic touch along with years of wisdom.
He soon brings into the fold his longtime partner Didier B, only remaining band member still standing from the original line-up, others having pursued different musical interests or no musical interest at all, to write new material.
Franck TOMSE steps in for the recording of guitars with Marco’s guidance.
At the end of 2006, a demo is finalized and Franck departs the project, unavailable for upcoming TREPONEM PAL activities. Franck remains a family member.
January 2007, Marco and Didier start auditioning new band members and come up with the following line-up:
POLAK : guitars
BUD : Bass
MARTO : Drums
DREAD FRED : guitars
The line-up completed, the band gets busy gathering positive vibes and preparing the new sound bomb, joined by Ted PARSONS, drums (SWANS, PRONG, GODFLESH, JESU) and Paul RAVEN on bass (KILLING JOKE, PRONG, MINISTRY), both long time friends and supporters of the band.
The band is now getting ready to take the stage, as early as this summer, for a dozen European festivals and is cheduled for studiotime this fall to finalize the album for an early 2008 release...
