The band have released four studio albums, "Trickster" (1998), "Zerøspace" (2002), and "Trypt0fanatic" (2010). An EP "The Invisible Plan" (2011). And a remix EP "Phi In The Sky" (2001), released in between "Trickster" & "Zerøspace".
The band re-released "Trickster" as "Trickstereprocess" in 2004, which included 5 new bonus tracks, along with a bonus DVD. After the release of "Trickstereprocess", the group called it quits and went their separate ways. Free Dominguez went on to create an indie project while Bruce Somers created the band Shocknina.
In January of 2007, Free Dominguez sent out a newsletter via email stating that she and Bruce are collaborating once again on brand new Kidneythieves material. These sessions resulted in the brand new album "Tryptofanatic".
Kidneythieves have hired bassist Mirv Douglas and are working on their new EP "The Invisible Plan" to be released in October 2011.
The Invisible Plan
Kidneythieves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It burns in my eyes
This is my own life
I gotta get mine
My heroes don't fly
They crawl up inside
Take over your mind
Just like a drive-by
You'll take it all
You'll take it all
It's such a cold war
The silent soldier
Gotta watch your back for the attack
Keep it in composure
You may not hear me
But you can feel it
And it's an instinct
But you can't kill it
Come with me
Save ourselves now
The art of the hustle
To use the mind as a muscle
Is the invisible plan
The invisible plan
Underground
Let's take them down
The art of the hustle
To use the mind as a muscle
Is the invisible plan
The invisible plan
You'll take it all
We walk amongst you
Hearts beatin' in tune
A jungle like a machete
Cuttin' through you
We use truth as our guns and armor
Until illusion's gone
Come with me
Save ourselves now
The art of the hustle
To use the mind as a muscle
Is the invisible plan
The invisible plan
Underground
Let's take them down
The art of the hustle
To use the mind as a muscle
Is the invisible plan
The invisible plan
You'll take it all
You'll take it all
I feel the sun rise
It burns in my eyes
This is my own life
I gotta get mine
My heroes don't fly
They crawl up inside
Take over your mind
Just like a drive-by
The art of the hustle
To use the mind as a muscle
Is the invisible plan
The invisible plan
Come with me
Save ourselves now
The art of the hustle
To use the mind as a muscle
Is the invisible plan
The invisible plan
Underground
Let's take them down
The art of the hustle
To use the mind as a muscle
Is the invisible plan
The invisible plan
Let's take them down
Let's take them down
The lyrics of Kidneythieves' song "The Invisible Plan" seem to be about taking control of one's life and succeeding through intelligence and strategy. The singer is aware of the challenges that come with a "cold war" environment and the need to be constantly aware and strategic to survive. They suggest that the key is to use one's mind as a muscle - to become skilled in the "art of the hustle" - in order to succeed in whatever one desires.
The singer also alludes to a group or movement of people who are united in their use of "truth as our guns and armor" to cut through those who stand in their way. This sounds like they are referring to a group of people who refuse to be controlled by the larger society, and instead, are fighting to be heard and taken seriously. In the end, the singer calls upon the listener to join them in their mission to "take them down" - to upend the current system and rebuild it according to their own rules.

This work must be done in secret, away from the prying eyes of society
Let's take them down
We must overcome the obstacles in our way
We walk amongst you
We are a part of society, but we are also different
Hearts beatin' in tune
We share a common, powerful energy
A jungle like a machete
Life can be difficult and dangerous
Cuttin' through you
We have the power to overcome obstacles
We use truth as our guns and armor
We rely on honesty and integrity to protect ourselves
Until illusion's gone
We will continue to fight until we have achieved our goals
Let's take them down
We will not let anything stand in our way

Great Band and I love her voice!

This song and floating angels have been key to me for a couple. Of years. I counted them once. There were forty in my room. The only thing to fear is fear itself. This is when I began learning about the metaphysical. I swear I've tripped dimensions since then. I've altered my reality to include the angels. Haha I sound crazy. I know better. Belief manifests truth.

Best song in the album!
Yellow Malice
One of my most adored industrial groups, right after NIN, KMFDM and Angelspit.
Amethyst Midnight
woo! Angelspit! You don't find many around that know them :D
Yellow Malice
Amethyst Midnight I know right! I'm one of those rare few. ;-)
Chris Cheek
Yellow Malice I might be a bit late here but umm, Angelspit is pretty well known in the underground. They play on digital gunfire all the time.
Yellow Malice
Chris Cheek Perhaps well known in the underground, but compared to groups like NIN and KMFDM, they're still pretty unknown I would think. And what is Digital Gunfire? Is that a station of some kind? Sounds interesting to me.
