Featuring a violently orchestral sound of darkest shades, her concerts in manic intensity and morbid slowbeat-chic were foundation stones for her cult image until today.
Mur, also a successful martial artist (3rd DAN Taekwondo) and composer for video games, (BALLANCE, VELVET ASSASSIN) is one of the few german singers creating her own dark, mysterious, aggressive but beautiful musical world exploring the fields of electronic industrial, wave, postpunk and a hefty german chanson "cabaret" tradition à la Brecht/Weill.
On the recent CD album “120 Days – The Fine Art of Beauty and Violence” (PALE MUSIC Int. 2/2009) Mona Mur is collaborating with EN ESCH, the striking front man and talented guitarist who once formed the basis of the german/US electro-industrial outfit KMFDM and now enjoys a cult-hero status in his larger-than-life stage persona. The accomplished multiinstrumentalist and producer has drastically transformed Mur's most intense 80s Songs into a unique blend of electronic drum loops, bass, dirty organ and wreckless feedback guitars. Live they are accompanied by drummer Johann Bley (Juno Reactor, Killing Joke, Holger Hiller, Ledernacken u.v.m.).
