Artist description LIFO songs are based on the electronic loops programmed by Hermann Havok, suffering interferences from Chris Gehlen's guitars and Chewie Rauth's violent live drums. Telling stories of technology-influenced relationships or glueing slogans together to expose the listener to ideas of self control and revolution, Havok (who's also responsible for the lyrics and vocals) creates characters and scenes of a not-so-far future, may not far at all, where the technology rules every part of our lives. Learn with LIFO about the urban guerrilla tactics and electronic infiltration procedures. Improve your performance installing cybernetic implants in your body. All this and more with the perfect soundtrack, pseudo-human music, truely urban, definely mundane. Third world electronic music for the whole world in the third millenium. Everything well-structured following the world's market tendencies. Because, after all, LIFO is on sale. But for you it's free... The first one is always free.

Artist History LIFO was created back in 1993 under the premise of making electronic music both heavy and pop. If that was really possible someone would had come up with a label for the style. Since there's no better way to describe LIFO's sound, let's say it's industrial pop.From 1994 to 1996 LIFO played live throughout Brazil selling more than 700 demotapes. Feeling the problem they were causing the music business LIFO promissed stop playing live. LIFO is now a studio project using the stage as a testfield and the audience as guinea pigs. No animals are hurt or mistreated during the process.
