Description

Spawned in Paris, France on February 29, 1984, Kein Mehrheit Fźr Die Mitleid – KMFDM (which loosely translates into ‘no pity for the majority’) was initially an industrial-audio concept accompanying art-installations by Erste Hilfe, a group of painters and sculptors, enfant terrible of the mid-80’s German underground art-scene. In the following years, KMFDM began to pioneer the crossover between techno/dance and heavy metal with their signature sound. Relocating to Chicago in 1990, KMFDM was the pride of Wax Trax Records during the label’s peak.
Under the leadership of German-born music founder Sascha K. a/k/a KŠptŐn K, the only permanent member throughout the bandŐs history, KMFDM is still going strong after over three decades of conceptual continuity, regularly recording and releasing albums and frequently touring the world over. Despite the fact that KMFDM consumed the majority of his time and efforts over the years, KŠptŐn K still got involved in several side-projects (MDFMK, Excessive Force, Schwein, KGC, OKĄZTEINĄOK) and made a name for himself as a music producer as well as a remixer (Metallica, White Zombie, Front 242 and many more).

In the fall of 2014 KMFDM released their latest album OUR TIME WILL COME and this coming July the remix EP SALVATION will see the light of day, just in time to begin yet another massive round of concert dates in the US. Together with Austin’s CHANT they are ready to turn concert halls into seething frenzy with their trademark ULTRA-HEAVY BEAT.
