Description:
Brainchild of the two Texan brothers Gary and Dwayne Dassing, MENTALLO & THE FIXER is definitely one of the most influential American electro/industrial bands of the last 20 years. Highly emotional and complex, their music is characterized by snarling distorted vocals, hard cutting sequencer rhythms and a thunderous beat. Always projecting himself into the future, Gary Dassing has throughout his career, constantly been reinventing his sound, offering an impressive list of avant-garde electronic music releases on renown labels like Zoth Ommog, Metropolis Records and Alfa Matrix.
After a catharsis of another 5 years of silent isolation, MENTALLO & THE FIXER is now ready to delivery to their faithful "old-school" fanbase a massive special 4-disc box set collection gathering over 50 tracks: mostly exclusive and previously unreleased material spanning throughout the years back to 1987 until 1996. There is much from the Zoth Ommog era of MENTALLO & THE FIXER and even prior to that, the set also includes several projects the Dassing brothers had along the way: from POLYHEDRON through MAINESTHAI or yet the first full length BENESTROPHE demo tapes, much of which has never been released or even heard. "I like the demos much better, they sound more raw.", Gary Dassing says.
There are 4 discs of back catalogue filled to capacity with old gems - much of it unheard or released, taken from the artists' private collection of old master tapes and fully remastered, re-edited and amplified by Gary Dassing... The perfect present for the die hards and collectors making the hardcopy much much more special in the days of downloads.
Music as medicine for generations to come...!
MENTALLO & THE FIXER also announce the release this Summer 2012 of their much anticipated new studio album entitled "Music From The Eather". "For those who believe, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not, none will suffice". (Joseph Dunninger).
