Venturing on to dabble in side projects and then re-establish KMFDM in Seattle during 1999 Saschas revolving band of misfits stood the test of time. Currently helmed by the dual vocal attack of the bands founder Sascha and siren Lucia KMFDM celebrated 20 years of musical excellence by traveling performing 62 shows in the US, Canada, Europe and Australia in 2004. To quote themselves, The future belongs to those of us still willing to get our hands dirty. Living by their D.I.Y. philosophy, KMFDM has launched their own online store, www.kmfdmstore.com and record label (KMFDM Records). Celebrating their 24th Anniversary on February 29th, 2008, the band announced KMFDM 24/7, a series of twenty four seven inch vinyl singles featuring tracks from the band's original 12" singles and classic album cuts. The singles are being released on the first of every month in the order they were originally released for 24 months culminating on Feb 01, 2010 with a brand new exclusive single. Each of the 24 singles is available in a Limited Edition First and Only Pressing of 250 copies. All tracks have been remastered specifically for vinyl and the covers for all the singles will feature original classic KMFDM artwork, most by famed KMFDM cohort Brute!. All KMFDM 24/7 releases are exclusive to the KMFDM Store. KMFDM remain a musical entity to be reckoned with. Through relentless musical exploration and reinvention they have continued to top themselves. KMFDM's new 2009 album, Blitz, is no exception. Along with Blitz, KMFDM has released . . . SKOLD vs. KMFDM! SKOLD vs. KMFDM is the new 22 track album by Tim Skold and Sascha Konietzko. It is available now exclusively in the KMFDM Store. As further evidence that their 25th year, 2009, will be one to remember, the band played a number of festival and headlining dates across Europe, mounted a full scale tour of the US and played a show in Canada for the Kein Mitleid World Tour 2009. The band brought in 2010 with a bang, releasing Krieg, 12 tracks of new, diverse and exciting remixes of tracks from Blitz reworked by top names across the musical spectrum. Krieg is available now exclusively in the KMFDM Store. In addition to their new material KMFDM has re-released their entire back catalog from the band's WaxTrax! Records era as KMFDM Classics via Metropolis Records/KMFDM Records. To accompany the KMFDM Classics, KMFDM has released Extra, a three volume set of double disc collections of all KMFDM tracks not included on the ten KMFDM Classic albums. The classic KMFDM side project Excessive Force has also had their entire catalog re-released. The self-proclaimed fathers of industrial-rock show no signs of stopping. KMFDM is bringing their assault to North America with a tour not to be missed! They will be joined by Army of the Universe, 16Volt (Select Dates), and Human Factors Lab! |
