Band: @kmfdmofficial
Year: 1997
Favorite Song: Megalomanic
Genre: Industrial Metal, Electro-industrial
Thoughts: This album is a interesting choice to pick, like seriously. I like KMFDM, this is the album that started it all for me when it comes to this genre of music, I consider it my hip hop music. I was introduced to this music by my very first girlfriend back in 2016, but I couldn’t get into it.

Oddly enough way after we split up i tried again, didn’t. Then a miracle happened in 2020. A girl I went to school with liked this stuff and she introduced me to this music after beginning to finally get into them. She got me into albums such as Angst, WWIII, Naïve and lastly Xtort.

I know this is a long thoughts list but finally seeing them in 2022, during the Hyëna tour and then subsequent tours in 2024, have been a amazing experience (Pig as well, but they were one and done).

I would like to say, this band is in fact “The Ultra Heavy Beat”, I would like to shoutout my first gf Catherine and to that girl Leona. Thanks guys.

Fun Facts: This album has some weird fun facts……

The Columbine School Shooting in 1999, gave this band a bad wrap because of the song Stray Bullet, which is a great song btw, it made the band look like they were people who wanted these things to happen. Something similar happened in 2024 with this band in another school shooting.

Sascha Konietzko, said this album split the 90’s lineup, while I do think Xtort and Nihil started the seeds, this one is the one that imploded which was why Adios was rushed, they were breaking up by that point.

In my opinion this is one of the very best and Tim Skold on here is damn good, Raymond Watts is a gifted singer.

This CD however is the more interesting fact, it’s out of print and rare. This is an original Wax Trax! copy, from 1997. They are usually expensive…..like $200 but I spent $47, (ironic lol). I’m glad I have this copy, it’s a cool piece. I hope Sascha reissues this next year because I will gobble it.

RIP Bill Rieflin
