Out now is KMFDM’s newest album “In Dub”. Well, new? On the follow-up to 2019’s “Paradise” the band is reinterpreting a selection of the group’s best known songs from their 36 career.

These are the tracks available and reinterpreted on the “In Dub” album.

KMFDM (originally Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid, loosely translated by the band as “no pity for the majority”) was founded by Sascha Konietzko in 1984 as a performance art project.

The band’s earliest incarnation included German drummer En Esch and British vocalist Raymond Watts, the latter of whom left and rejoined the group several times over its history. The trio recorded the band’s earliest albums in Germany before Konietzko and Esch moved to the United States, where they found much greater success with the industrial record label Wax Trax!.

The rest is history.

With 2019 marking 35 years of conceptual continuity, KMFDM are to release the band’s 21st album, “Paradise”. KMFDM was this time joined by Black Sugar Transmission’s Andee Blacksugar lending his guitars along with guest performances that include bassist Doug Wimbish (Tackhead, Living Colour), longtime vocalist Cheryl Wilson and rapper Andrew Ocelot Lindsley.

Fans will undoubtedly be overjoyed to hear Raymond PIG Watts returning to the KMFDM fold for the first time in 16 years.

KMFDM (originally Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid and not Kill Mother Fucking Depeche Mode) is a German industrial band from Hamburg led by multi-instrumentalist Sascha Konietzko, who founded the group in 1984 as a performance art project.

KMFDM (short for Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid and not Kill Mother Fucking Depeche Mode) has decided to complete a vinyl remaster of their classic 1997 album “Symbols”. You can order this very limited vinyl set right now exclusively from this website.

“Symbols” featured quite an impressive list of contributors who joined Sascha Konietzko. The list included Ogre (Skinny Puppy), Tim Skold (Shotgun Messiah), Raymond Watts (Pig), Bill Rieflin (Ministry), Michel Bassin (Treponem Pal), Nina Hagen and Abby Travis.

The material itself was recorded in Seattle, Washington, and marked the introduction of Tim Skold who would become a full-fledged member for the albums “Adios” and “Attak”. The album track “Stray Bullet” received mainstream media attention for the wrong reasons, namely after the Columbine High School Massacre, because the song’s lyrics were posted on the website of Eric Harris. The song was also in the background of one of the videos posted by Pekka-Eric Auvinen on YouTube prior to the Jokela school shooting.
