MECHANICAL MOTH give birth to fourth album

Mechanical Moth was founded in Darmstadt in the year 2002, by Tandrin,
who called the band project ,,Projekt Rosenhöhe“, while searching for a
 name.

From the very beginning till today, the band combines elements of
electronic music, gospel and soul as even synphonic and orchestra.
 
Also in the year 2002 Matricide already joined the project for vocal
 support. She left the band in 2007, after release of the third album
„The Sad Machina“.
During these 5 years she supported the music with
 lyrics, hervoice and many concerts, Newspaper articles and even top
positions in the DAC were reached by her support and acting.
 
In 2004 the first album was released at Dark Dimensions, called „fallen
 into you“, planned as the first part of a trilogy named „deus ex 
machina“. Fallen into you reached top positions in several charts.

The
first live act took place in 2004 as support for the band Untoten in
 Rüsselsheim. Because of logistic problems, the live band was cut from 4
to 2 people again.
 
The second album called „Torment“ came out in 2005, on time for release
 at the Wave Gotik Treffen festival in Leipzig, where the band had a 
concert too. With the second album the first video clip was released,
 also called Torment. The song Fluegelschlag was released at the festival
 sampler and again top places in the charts were reached. But not only 
the publicity factor got higher, the distance between the second and the
 third album, that was also the last part of the deus ex machina trilogy,
 got shorter.


At the end of 2005 the live band finally collapsed because of logistic 
problems again and the band decided to work with half-playback for
 concerts. The music was furthermore fully electronic and the vocals as
 before all live. To present more vocal quality for live acts, the band
 searched for a background singer and so the third band member Salacity 
joined the project at the end of the year 2005.
 Salacity even had parts on the third album „The Sad Machina“, too.
 

The Sad Machina was released in 2007, as also a new video clip for the 
song time. After release of the last part of the trilogy, Matricide left 
the band for business and Tandrin and Salacity planned their fourth
 album without her. After half a year a new singer was not found, Ivy
 joined the band. She was actually working with Tandrin on a
 side-kick-rock-project while she convinded the band by her vocal talent.
 Because of Ivy’s soul and gospel voice the style of the band changed a 
lot into more experimental mixture of gothic, electronic musik and 
soul.
 


The fourth album called Rebirth is supposed to be released at Dark
Dimensions in june 2009.
