Wtf?!
Product ID: 58998025
Wenn sich eine Band noch nie vor deutlichen Statements gescheut hat, so sind das wohl KMFDM. Und auch mit dem neuesten Album sprechen sie das aus, was viele von uns in den letzten 6 bis 12 Monaten wohl nur gedacht haben, wenn sie die Nachrichten gesehen haben: -What The F++k!-. -WTF!-, so die Abkrzung, ist das neue KMFDM Album auf Dependent betitelt und wird am 29. April in Deutschland erscheinen. -WTF! kommt mit 11 brandneuen Songs an den Start, inklusive der neuen KMFDM-Single -Krank-, dem neuesten Clubknaller der Band. Bandleader Kpt n K und seine Kadetten schieen uns hier 50 Minuten lang akustische Breitseiten um die Ohren. KMFDM sind in diesem Falle natrlich Grnder und Leadsnger Sascha K., der -WTF!- als sein kraftvollstes und stringentestes Album bisher ansieht, sein weiblicher Gesangs-Counterpart Lucia zeigt uns den wohlklingenden Kontrastpart zu den aggressiven Vocals in den melodiseren Songs wie -Dystopia- oder dem Wikileaks-inspirierten -Rebels In Kontrol-, den die Band angesichts der Verhaftung von Wikileaks Grnder Julian Assange als Protest ins Netz gestellt hatte. Des Weiteren wird das Bandgefge von den Kollegen Jules Hodgson, Steve White und Andy Selway angereichert, die Gitarre, Bass und Drumsektion nicht nur live bereitstellen. Wie auch auf frheren Alben sind wieder diverse Freelancer auf dem -WTF!--Kreuzer vertreten, unter anderem Static-X Gitarrist Koichi Fukuda, der bei dem hyperdynamischen -Come On Go Off- in die Saiten greift. William Willson (Legion Within) stellt sein Gesangstalent auf -Spectre- fr die KMFDM Mannen zur Verfgung, und das Disco- inspirierte -Take It Like A Man- offeriert ein Duett zwischen Lucia und * Dominquez von den Kidney Thieves. Darber hinaus konnten Sebastian Komor (Komor Kommando und Bill Rieflin (Revolting Cocks, Ministry) fr Remixarbeiten an der Vorabauskopplung Krank- gewonnen werden

KMFDM strikes again, brilliantly
KMFDM's new album WTF?! is a wonderful blend of deliciously dark, deep, gritty, and funky tracks that really showcase Sascha's ability to create epic and diverse music. If you're a fan of KMFDM's previous releases, then I guarantee you'll be a fan of this one, too. It's impossible to choose the best songs from the album because they're all amazing! Highly recommend it for fans of industrial metal.

The Ultra Heavy Beat goes deep & dark!
If you like your KMFDM somewhere between the full on guitar attack of WWIII and the more dance oriented beats of BLITZ then this album should score well with you. In addition, the sound is darker in tone, more introspective and thoughtful. That's not to say it doesn't kick ass when required - cuts like Krank, Rebels In Control & Viva La Mort! will have you dancing round your living room. Lucia gets her vampy disco cut with Take It Like A Man and the band revisit the past with Panzerfaust, a disturbing and clever reworking of Liebeslied from their 1993 album Naïve. Also of note is the last track, a spooky, twisted workup of the old English nursery rhyme Who Killed Cock Robin which will not so much have you dancing as it will hiding under the covers!Solid 5 from me, Sascha has produced an innovative album with fresh ideas while still maintaining the KMFDM identity that we all know and love. Looking forward to the tour now!

WTF?! Another KMFDM Album?
I love KMFDM.You can guarantee that on every album (and there are soo many of them (with no signs of letting up)) there will be one or two tracks that will blow you away, and that the rest of the Album will be good solid industrial metal fare.Occasionally they produce an Album that will blow you away, like NIHIL.WTF?! starts out really well. 'Krank' and 'Come On Go Off' had me thinking there was another NIHIL on the cards. As it happens the wow factor does reduce slightly on the remainder of the Album. Its still a good Album that stands well with the rest of their work, its good solid industrial metal.Well worth buying

Back to their best!
After several albums that ooze more cheese than 'ultra heavy beats', KMFDM have re-found their form and releases an album that shines along with the classics like 'Xtort', 'Nihil' and 'Symbols'.The songs sound original and fresh, with a return to what I would consider to be their best sound. Good job guys - and girl!
