Paris, France (1984 – present)
KMFDM is an industrial rock band and the brainchild of founding member Sascha Konietzko. It was founded in Paris, France on February 29, 1984 as a joint effort between Konietzko and German painter/multi-media performer Udo Sturm to perform for the opening of an exhibition of young European artists at the Grand Palais. Typically featuring a revolving lineup, Konietzko is the only member to be on every album. However, the current lineup has been stable for the four most recent albums, with the exception of Raymond Watts leaving to pursue his solo project, Pig.
Notable contributors include Nivek Ogre of Skinny Puppy, Bill Rieflin of Ministry and R.E.M. (among others), the aforementioned Raymond Watts, and Tim Skold of Shotgun Messiah, Skold and Marilyn Manson. Former members En Esch and Günter Schulz are now the duo Slick Idiot.
KMFDM’s first two proper albums (which were preceded by a cassette-only release, OPIUM 1984) What Do You Know, Deutschland? and Don’t Blow Your Top, were dominated by samples and abrasive electrofunk. Both are influenced by Frank Zappa and On-U-Sound; particularly the latter album, which was mixed by Adrian Sherwood. Wax Trax! licenced Don’t Blow Your Top for America, making it their first US release.
Raymond Watts left to form Pig. The remaining members added Rudolph Naomi and Morgan Adjei to record UAIOE, which significantly expanded their sonic palate: the album experiments with reggae (Loving Can Be An Art), metal (En Esch), and industrial funk (More and Faster, released as a single).

What do you think is the worst song from kmfdm? I think it's '' Me & My Gun''.. There are many ways to sing about school shootings, but the lyrics of that song are just ridiculous. '' Don't give a good God damn what you think of me or what I do '' Ugh.... '' Do it for kicks - show & tell Do it for fun - shotgun shell Do it for love - raise hell '' I really don't like this song.. Really really really don't.

yeah , but unlike LP , they didn't start sucking hardcore. I like Hau Rock and Tohuvabohu , etc... *shrugs*

I'm not saying that Hau Ruck and Tohuvabohu bad - just Blitz turned out very diverse and unusual for KMFDM album (and I finally understood the meaning of songs without Google Translate)))

Not really into Blitz, disliked it tbh....Tohuvabohu is pretty good though. Old stuff is still the best.

Not agree! Blitz MUCH better Hau Ruck and Tohuvabohu and almost on par with WW3 and Attak.
