RED TOTEM IDOL

 

A little about Red Totem Idol:

Imagine twisting the evils, the rage and violent disorder of the daily struggle to survive into a reflection that you can tolerate: the image created is  Red Totem Idol.  The groups music is born of hatred and intolerance, Society's monster unleashed and vindictive.  These are the horrors of the man that drives the group, he is the composer and lead singer Kevin Damien Cain.

Songs  such as "Immortal" and "Sara's Lullaby" hit point blank on heavy topics (the rise in teenage suicide and child abuse respectively ), by placing Cain's stabbing, thought-provoking lyrics over music best described as hard hitting aggressive grove rock.  Cain claims pain as one of his Muses and the bands music clearly backs that statement.
 

Red Totem Idol's concerts are no different.  Cain's on-stage presence paints disturbing pictures on that the canvas that is the audience.  The bands energy is infectious, often whipping the crowd into a near riot of sweaty, body-slamming moshers from the moment the band takes the stage.   Flash Magazine pegs Red Totem Idol's as " incorporating elements of Gothic, Industrial and Groove Rock with a touch of the Doors ascid-vibe flavor"

A few quotes about the group from people you might know:

Tracie Guns ( LA Guns ) " when Red Totem Idol showed up to play no one knew who they were, but when they left , there wasn't anyone who didn't know who  Red Totem Idol was".

Marilyn Manson " I promote free thinking just like they do".

Henry Rollins " Interesting".

Dave Phillot ( Freelance Writer) "They're not satisfied with kicking your teeth in, they want to wrench your head off with their black clad asses".
