New KMFDM “Tohuvabohu”
Before breaking into an uncharacteristic slap bass beat “Super Power” recites begins with what has long since been a staple in the KMFDM diet, a self-glorifying gas “What can KMFDM do for you? Now for one low price KMFDM can blow your mind, rock your face off and jump start your heart. Come see and feel what km can do for you!” Dissimilar to other albums however, the pro-KMFDM jabber that continues throughout the song comes from fans who were invited to record and submit exactly what the band means to them.
Returning with Tohuvabohu, KMFDM’s sixteenth album in its twenty three year history, the group of electro-teasing industrialists hits with a set slightly more beat orientated than its last, Hau Ruck. Like the band’s effort to include its fans in the album it clearly makes an attempt throughout to cover a wide variety of its past sounds and themes. Tracks as “Looking For Strange” sounds reminiscent to the spin-off MDFMK, “I Am What I Am” is a slower driving track that pummels like much of the band’s mid-career catalogue and “Saft Und Kraft” pummels with Al Jourgensen-like temper. The album will be released via Metropolis Records August 21st.
another slap to the face of old school KMFDM fans. this album follows suit with the last few SUCK FEST kmfdm albums. it really makes me angry because i used to be a hardcore KMFDM fan. KICK LUCIA OUT OF THE GROUP SHE IS HORRIBLE.
i totally agree. she dominates this album and is fucking annoying. the previous female vocalists were much better.. and way to fucking let her sing 3/4 of the album, TERRIBLE. bring back raymond ffs. the only KMFDM songs on this album are superpower and saft und kraft, clearly.
Honestly it is still a good album. You can’t hate a band for embrancing one member more than another. The band doesn’t need Raymond, they’re doing a great job without him. Their best was Xtort, but don’t tell me newer ones like WWIII are bad.
Thanks for the feedback, really good to hear an opposing view on the album! I’ll be giving Tohuvabohu away in the coming months via my month long contest here, keep checking back if you’d like to win it!

People come and go, but music must be good. thats what . This music is way better than Hardcore metal and hard rock – metallica megadeth etc etc.
Agreed, I think that in terms of the genre the new album isn’t as bad as people make it out to be.
