KMFDM Unleash HYËNA September 9
U.S. Tour Kicks Off September 27
International industrial/dance icons KMFDM unleash HYËNA! The group’s landmark 22nd studio album arrives Friday, 09 September 2022, with a full U.S. tour to follow beginning Tuesday, September 27.
One of the first acts to introduce a worldwide audience to industrial music, KMFDM took then-fledgling acts like Rammstein and Korn out as opening acts as they spread their own distinctive “Ultra-Heavy Beat.” Songs like “Megalomaniac,” “WWIII,” “Professional Killer,” “A Drug Against War,” and “Juke-Joint Jezebel” are stone-cold classics, anthems for nonconformists, rabble-rousers, and outsiders of all stripes.
The new album’s 11 songs are the group’s most adventurous yet, marked by fearless creativity and genre-busting ambition, with an aggressive tone speaking truth to power. The unapologetic vocal attack of founder Sascha “Käpt’n K” Konietzko and Lucia Cifarelli; the sharp guitars of Andee Blacksugar, and the percussive bombast of Andy Selway supercharge HYËNA with aggressive might. HYËNA guest features include Jules Hodgson, Andrew “Ocelot” Lindsley, Bruce Breckenfeld, Sissy Misfit, and Kumar Bent.
All About The Rock declared HYËNA “blasts through the speakers with the force of a napalm strike.” ReGen Magazine called HYËNA “the leanest and meanest material yet from the Ultra-Heavy Beat” and pointed out that KMFDM never misses “the opportunity to wave a giant middle finger at the injustices of the world.”
HYËNA arrives on digital and CD this week, with limited edition vinyl to follow in February 2023.

ABOUT KMFDM:
KMFDM (originally Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid
, loosely translated by the band as “no pity for the majority”) is a multinational industrial band from Hamburg, Germany, led by Sascha Konietzko, who founded the band in 1984 as a performance art project in Paris, France. The band’s earliest albums were recorded in Germany before they moved to the United States, where they found greater success with seminal record label Wax Trax! out of Chicago. Throughout the ‘90s KMFDM constantly evolved with a revolving door line-up, becoming a household name in the US music scene. 1995’s “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 KMFDM tours. KMFDM
