Enemy

Society is in shambles, fascism is in fashion, and the Ultra Heavy Beat remains resolute and resolved to rise up and rip the system! 42 years of conceptual continuity and distinction thru diversity, KMFDM is back, declaring itself the Enemy with this 24th album! Kommanded by the songwriting and vocal power of Sascha “Kpt’n K” Konietzko and Lucia Cifarelli, and backed by the percussive onslaught of Andy Selway, the band is now joined by London six-string slinger Tidor Nieddu bringing his own bold and vivid guitar flavors. On top of that, having hypnotized audiences on the band’s 40th anniversary tour with her live rendition of “Professional Killer”, Annabella Konietzko also appears with her own hit-list on the explosive “YOU”, marking her songwriting debut with KMFDM. Never a band to take the easy path, Enemy delivers some of KMFDM’s most stylistically challenging, most politically scathing material yet – from the dance/rock melodicism of “Oubliette” to the darkened grooves of “Catch and Kill”, the satirical brute force thrash of “Outernational Intervention” to the vicious and hyperbolic industrial/metal of “L’Etat, the funky throb of “Vampyre” to the cheeky dub of “Stray Bullet 2.0.” KMFDM keeps moving, dancing on the blood-dimmed tide, roaring as a rough beast to make noise against a world that demands the silence of ignorance. Join the Ultra Heavy Beat and make yourself the Enemy of hypocrisy, discrimination, and injustice!
