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:

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".

" I promote free thinking just like they
do".

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".
