来自德国的Mono Inc.乐队,四个成员分别是主唱Martin Engler，贝司手 Manuel Antoni，鼓手Katha Mia以及吉他手Carl Formia!女鼓手Katha Mia 和光头主唱Martin Engler格外出彩,每个成员其实都是Vocals,四个成员各有特 点，属于各领风骚 Influenced by alternative icons of the 1980s such as Depeche Mode, the Cure, and Sisters of Mercy as well as crossover dance/metal acts such as Prodigy and Metallica, Mono Inc. is a goth rock band from Hamburg that found both critical and commercial success within Germany's alternative music scene. Founded in 1998 as Mono69, the band was originally a trio comprised of Miky Mono (vocals, bass), Martin Engler (vocals, drums), and Carl Fornia (guitar). In 2000 the band changed its name to Mono Inc. and later added Manuel Antoni (bass) to the lineup in 2003. Mono Inc. made their recording debut a year later in 2004 on No Cut Records with the full-length album Head Under Water, which spawned the alternative music chart hit "Burn Me." In the wake of this initial success, the band experienced growing internal tensions, between frontman Miky Mono and songwriter/drummer Martin Engler in particular. In the end, Mono was shown the door; a new drummer, Katha Mia, was hired; and Engler became the band's new lead vocalist. With this new lineup in place, Mono Inc. resumed music-making, releasing first the maxi-single Somberland (2006) and then the full-length album Temple of the Torn (2007), which spawned additional singles in the title track and "In My Heart." In 2008 the band continued to issue new music, releasing first the maxi-single Teach Me to Love (a collaboration with Lisa Iddelhauve of the band Xandria) and then the full-length album Pain, Love & Poetry, which spawned the additional single "Sleeping My Day Away," an alternative chart hit.
