(MMP) Metal Mind Productions presents re-release of the self-titled debut LP by the most respected industrial band from France: Treponem Pal. "Treponem Pal" will be available on 22nd September 2008 in Europe and 28th October 2008 in USA (via MVD). New edition is digitally remastered using 24-Bit process on golden disc and limited to 2000 copies.
The band's story begins in 1986, in a time when pop glitz or American glam metal reigned the European music scene. Back then industrial metal was just starting to grow, however the genre's turning point was close - groups such as Skinny Puppy and Front 242 begun aggressively marking their presence on the scene. You might say that Treponem Pal emerged in a time that was groundbreaking for the genre - for it was 1988 when Ministry's "Land of Rape and Honey" was released.
Treponem Pal's debut album, originally released in 1989 and produced by Franz Treichler (Young Gods), brings a fine mix of industrial influences (Einsturzende Neubauten, The Swans, Test Department), electronics (DAF, Kraftwerk) and even tribal drumming.
