KMFDM – hyena
KMFDM, AT FULL THROTTLE
KMFDM, are about to release its new album, and the track “Hyena” is from that album and is fantastic. It is KMFDM at full throttle and unleashed.


It has all the greatness the band is known for: the vocals, the lyrics, the great melodies, and the banging beats.


Close to rock mixed with industrial, this is an excellent track to listen to over and over.


For over 38 years, KMFDM has rocked and has not missed a beat. They are not about to now either.


The album Hyena is out on 9 September 2022.

UNLEASHED

KMFDM has forged its own singular path over the course of 38+ years, continuously refining and redefining the parameters of modern music, while also never missing the opportunity to address the social and political zeitgeist in brazen, belligerent, and boisterous fashion. HYËNA marks the 22nd studio album from the Ultra Heavy Beat, and what title could be more appropriate as the band laughs mockingly at the frayed and frantic state of world affairs.

Driven by the vicious and virulent vocal onslaught of founder Sascha “Käpt’n K” Konietzko and Lucia Cifarelli, the aural and angular guitar wizardry of Andee Blacksugar, and the forceful percussive thrust of Andy Selway, HYËNA blasts through the speakers with the force of a napalm airstrike. From the hip-thrusting rock & roll swagger of “BLACK HOLE,” the in-your-face industrial/rock of “LIQUOR FISH & CIGARETTES,” and the funky hip-hop overtones of “ROCK’N’ROLL MONSTER,” to the punky thrash metal fury of “BLINDFACE,” the sardonic blackgrass whimsy of “DELUDED DESPERATE DANGEROUS & DUMB,” and the irresistibly danceable electro of “HYËNA” – KMFDM remains as vital as ever, never afraid to assimilate any musical style, all the while keeping the lyrical talons sharpened and poised to strike against any and all injustice. Several members of the KMFDM family return to leave their indelible marks on HYËNA, like guitarist Jules Hodgson, rapper Andrew “Ocelot” Lindsley, and Bruce Breckenfeld on the Hammond B3. On top of that, Sissy Misfit appears to add a decidedly venomous digital hardcore flavor to “ALL WRONG – BUT ALRIGHT,” leaving Kumar Bent to close us out with the familiar yet fresh dub take on a KMFDM classic on “IN DUB WE TRUST.”

HYËNA is a maniacal laugh in the face of maniacs who assume control, desperately trying to convince you that what you see, what you hear, what you read is not real – don’t you believe it! Nearly four decades on, KMFDM continues to keep it real for you as HYËNA proves to be among the group’s leanest and meanest efforts, feeding fuel to the fury!

KMFDM hat im Laufe von mehr als 38 Jahren seinen eigenen einzigartigen Weg eingeschlagen und die Parameter der modernen Musik kontinuierlich verfeinert und neu definiert, während es auch nie die Gelegenheit verpasst, den sozialen und politischen Zeitgeist auf unverschämte, kriegerische und ausgelassene Weise anzusprechen. HYËNA markiert das 22. Studioalbum des Ultra Heavy Beat, und welcher Titel könnte angemessener sein, wenn die Band spöttisch über den ausgefransten und hektischen Zustand der Welt lacht.

Angetrieben von dem bösartigen und virulenten Gesangsansturm von Gründer Sascha "Käpt'n K" Konietzko und Lucia Cifarelli, der akustischen und eckigen Gitarrenzauberei von Andee Blacksugar und dem kraftvollen perkussiven Schub von Andy Selway durchströmt HYËNA mit der Kraft eines Napalm Vom hippenstoßenden Rock & Roll-Sumpf von "BLACK HOLE", dem In-Your-Face-Industrie-/Rock von "LIQUOR FISH & CIGARETTES" und den funky Hip-Hop-Obertönen von "ROCK'N'ROLL MONSTER" bis hin zur punkigen Thrash-Metal-Wut von "BLIND Mehrere Mitglieder der KMFDM-Familie kehren zurück, um ihre unauslöschlichen Spuren auf HYËNA zu hinterlassen, wie Gitarrist Jules Hodgson, Rapper Andrew "Ocelot" Lindsley und Bruce Breckenfeld auf der Hammond B3. Darüber hinaus scheint Sissy Misfit "ALL WRONG - BUT ALRIGHT" einen ausgesprochen giftigen digitalen Hardcore-Geschmack hinzuzufügen, so dass Kumar Bent uns mit der bekannten, aber frischen Dub-Version eines KMFDM-Klassikers auf "IN DUB WE TRUST" abschließt.

HYËNA ist ein wahnsinniges Lachen angesichts von Wahnsinnigen, die die Kontrolle übernehmen und verzweifelt versuchen, Sie davon zu überzeugen, dass das, was Sie sehen, was Sie hören, was Sie lesen, nicht real ist - glauben Sie es nicht! Fast vier Jahrzehnte später hält KMFDM es für Sie weiterhin real, da sich HYËNA als eine der schlanksten und gemeinsten Bemühungen der Gruppe erweist und der Wut Treibstoff zuführt!
