Read More KMFDM was formed back in 1984. Though the band has been through a few different lineup changes, but KMFDM is still the Kings of Industrial Rock. ..…

Barely a month after releasing their most recent album, KUNST, KMFDM dropped by First Avenue to show us how it's done. Taking the stage after three excellent opening bands, fans of the ultra heavy beat were treated to all of the things they've come to expect from a KMFDM show: Razor sharp distorted guitars mixed perfectly with percolating synth parts; the dual vocal assault of Lucia and Sascha; and of course the ultra heavy beat.
Starting with a rousing take on fan favorite D.I.Y., the band stormed through a collection of 19 songs from their vast discography, five of which came from the excellent new KUNST album. It was a pleasure to see the crowd get as excited for the new songs as they were for the classics. Speaking of classics, the band had William Wilson of opening band, Legion Within, take the Tim Skold vocal part of "Anarchy" which was one of the highlights of the encore.
Opening band Chant deserves special recognition for being incredibly creative and bringing a really cool tribal feel to the proceedings. Definitly worth checking out if you like rhythm heavy industrial style music in the vein of Babyland.
All in all it was an excellent night for KMFDM lovers. The band was tight, the crowd was feeling it, a real treat for the freaks.
KMFDM is wrapping up their North American tour for KUNST, out now on Metropolis Records.
