Their progressive electro-industrial music beyond the typical 4/4 dancefloor was often described as "intelligent electro".
The band was signed to Off Beat in Europe and Pendragon in the United States and released several now-classic CDs including S.E.T.I., Mind Sculptures Flesh and WWW.
After 6 years of silence INDIVIDUAL TOTEM was revoked by Bernd Madl and Jürgen Moßgraber joined the project.
This new set-up released a lot of creativity and resulted in the new album Kyria 13 which will be released in August 2013.
The album is based on a SF story. Following the story line gives them the opportunity to visit a wide variety of electronic genres.

But even their most hardcore fans are not aware of the first real Totem release: a cassette-only album called Mumia Vera.
Now hopelessly out of print and all but forgotten, Mumia Vera represents the early stages of Individual Totem, a unique sound that is years ahead of its time, and the seeds of what would become one of the top industrial bands of the 90s.
This Fall, Artoffact Records will re-issue a new version of Mumia Vera, completely remastered and re-tweaked from the original cassettes, and incorporating the original artwork.
What is more, Mumia Vera will be released as a limited edition double CD, including the entire Flow EP (including the Fortress A remix, one of the best tracks ever recorded, period). released September 29, 2009

What do you do with a new single whose dance beat comes in at the 2-minute mark?
If you're a label, you run away.
If you really like industrial music, on the other hand, you recognize Mothfly for what it is: an industrial album which contorts and convinces, pulls you apart but creates an organic whole.
The synths are simply great, the atmosphere is dark and elusive, the band asks more questions than they answer.
Mothfly is often downtempo but equally it rages.
It rages in dark places, alone, with vocals unable to scream, though screaming. It's a wonderful statement of psycho-analytic repression.
The father lost in the son, or murdered, who can tell?
From the opening and infectious WWW to the interesting and introspective In Memorial, to the Skinny Puppy-influenced The Ugly Game, Mothfly is quintessential industrial music. released December 11, 2007

The album tells the story of the Croxxers, a secret cult of knights who live on Kyria 13 and whose civilization is in grave danger.
Populations are suffering after The Great Mistake -- the grey world leaves a grey population in the throes of anger, and the short-lived hope of The Bluesky Project quickly dissolves.
The Croxxers claim to have the answer and convince many, but they are wrong.
Their arrogance opens the floodgates and the Mindworms plague the population like never before.
Kyria 13 becomes a world of lost souls, forcing the Council of the Wise to act.
They blunder through resolutions until all at once an answer emerges: they go to war. The history of Kyria 13 will never be the same. Sparse, warm electronics, analogue synths, ambient pulses, and an industrial atmosphere complete the dark sci-fi Kyria 13 story and evoke the spectres of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Severed Heads, and The Klinik. released August 6, 2013

For a band who, at least according to I Die: You Die, produced an industrial space opera on their last record, Electrostatic is that space opera as played out on a dance floor, complete with literal warriors of the sun channelling Daniel B. and his alien friends. And with interludes that seem to take you into different aesthetic realms, re-listens reveal a shape to the album that is way beyond the sum of its parts. Band founder Bernd Madl writes "Electrostatic takes you on a trip through old school soundscapes as well as hopeful and sometimes forbidden places," but it's hard to know what is hopeful and what is forbidden, because the record is, well, anything but static. From the synth-pop lightness of the opener "Perfect," to the modular experiments that run through the album, to the return to EBM roots on monsters like "Warriors of the Sun" and "Fire," Individual Totem sums up a 20-year career in dark electronic music with a seriously killer record. released September 7, 2018
