KMFDM
After a long absence KMFDM finally return to Europe – and Stockholm! – with a brand
new album. 42 years of the ULTRA-HEAVY BEAT right now, right here, IN YOUR FACE!
Malmö hosts the only show in Southern Scandinavia!
KMFDM (originally Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid, loosely translated as "no pity for the
majority”) is a multinational industrial band from Hamburg, led by Sascha Konietzko, who
founded the band in 1984 as a performance art project in Paris. The band's earliest albums
were recorded in Germany before they moved to the US, where they found huge success.
Their 1995 hit “Juke Joint Jezebel” catapulted KMFDM into the Billboard charts and got them
onto many movie soundtracks, notably Bad Boys and Mortal Kombat.
Bands such as Rammstein or Korn had their humble beginnings opening up on KMFDM’s
tours.
Konietzko resurrected KMFDM in 2002 with a partially new line-up that included among
others American singer Lucia Cifarelli from the band DRILL, and Sweden’s very own Tim
Sköld (who later on joined Marilyn Manson).
Releasing studio albums and touring frequently throughout the 2000’s Konietzko and Cifarelli
moved back to Germany in 2008. Dozens of musicians have worked with the group across
its 25 studio albums and countless singles. Konietzko has remixed bands such as Metallica,
Korn, White Zombie, Front 242, Young Gods, Living Colour and Megadeth to name just a
few.
Critics consider KMFDM one of the first bands to bring industrial music to mainstream
audiences, though Konietzko refers to the band's music as "The Ultra-Heavy Beat". The
band incorporates heavy metal guitar riffs, electronic music, and both male and female
vocals in its music, which encompasses a variety of styles including industrial rock, electronic
body music and even reggae and dub.
The band is fiercely political, with many of its lyrics taking stands against violence, war, and
oppression. KMFDM is known to tour after every major release, and band members have a
reputation for their accessibility to and interaction with fans, both online and at concerts.
Every KMFDM’s show is an outburst of raw energy, fierce, energetic and unstoppable.
And if this was not enough, KMFDM on this tour are supported by I YA TOYAH, a Chigacoan
Polish “one-woman army”, well-known on the industrial/darkwave music scene for her solo
works and collaborations with Tim Sköld, Raymond Watts (KMFDM, PIG), Julian Beeston
(Nitzer Ebb, Cubanate), Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly, Delerium) and many more.
