Individual Industry were founded in 1987 by Alex Twin. In 1988, Mauricio Bonito joined the group and in 1990 Lilian Vaz with her powerful voice completes the group. Between July of 1992 and February of 1993, the band recorded their first album, “Templum Probus” released in July 1993 on South America’s most legendary indie label ever: Cri du Chat Records – the first Brazilian alternative / wave-electro label, that found worldwide attention and distribution (Simbolo, Aghast View, Harry, Vanishing Point, Morgue, Pitch Yarn of Matter...). The album was released in Europe by Subtronic Records and distributed by SPV.

 “Templum Probus” was very well reviewed by the critics, both in the main Brazilian Newspapers as in specialized music magazines in South America, Nothern America and in Europe, including Side-Line (Belgium) and New Life (Germany) – and countless others.

After a few years, the album was considered to be a masterpiece and classic of the Brazilian alternative scene. “Templum Probus” offers a fine balance of ethereal voices, modern classical sonorities with electronic punch. Music journalists and fans alike had difficulties to file the album under a specific genre. The song “Eyes” became a cult classic of electronic music and

was released on 12” in Europe and UK. The vinyl edition contains 2 previously unreleased versions of “What I wouldn´t give” (a cover of Pink Industry´s song) and “Paradise”, both in new radio version.
