Due to severe illness that requires immediate medical intervention and therapy, the German electronic and industrial rock pioneers KMFDM<\/strong> have been forced to postpone a previously announced (and almost sold out) European tour in February and March 2026 to promote their forthcoming new album, \u2018ENEMY\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are so very sorry. We were looking forward to do this tour, but we will make up for it,\u201d <\/em>states KMFDM founder Sascha Konietzko. \u201cWe appreciate your love and support! Long live the ULTRA HEAVY BEAT,\u201d <\/em>adds band co-vocalist Lucia Cifarelli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All tickets sold for the tour will remain valid for the rescheduled shows, with a further update on the timescale of these expected soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the release of \u2018ENEMY\u2019 will remain 6th February 2026 on Metropolis Records, with a first single from the album, \u2018OUBLIETTE\u2019, available now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bandcamp pre-order<\/a>
<\/strong>
includes the single
OUBLIETTE
<\/em>S<\/a><\/strong>tream<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0| \u00a0Bandcamp<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Society is in a shambles, fascism is in fashion, and the Ultra Heavy Beat remains resolute and resolved to rise up and rip the system! 42 years of conceptual continuity and distinction through diversity, KMFDM<\/strong> are back, declaring themselves the ‘ENEMY‘<\/em> with their 24th album!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kommanded by the songwriting and vocal power of Sascha \u2018K\u00e4pt’n K’ Konietzko and Lucia Cifarelli, and backed by the percussive onslaught of Andy Selway, KMFDM is now joined by London six-string slinger Tidor Nieddu bringing his own bold and vivid guitar flavours. Having hypnotised audiences on the band’s 40th anniversary tour with her rendition of ‘Professional Killer’, Annabella Konietzko also appears with her own hit-list on the explosive \u2018YO\u00dc’, marking her songwriting debut with the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never a band to take the easy path, \u2018ENEMY’ delivers some of KMFDM’s most stylistically challenging and politically scathing material yet; from the dance\/rock melodicism of \u2018OUBLIETTE’ to the darkened grooves of ‘CATCH & KILL’, the satirical brute force thrash of ‘OUTERNATIONAL INTERVENTION’ to the vicious and hyperbolic industrial metal of \u2018L\u2019ETAT\u2019, and the funky throb of \u2018VAMPYR’ to the cheeky dub of ‘STRAY BULLET 2.0’.

KMFDM keeps moving, dancing on the blood-dimmed tide, roaring as a rough beast to make noise against a world that demands the silence of ignorance. Join the Ultra Heavy Beat and make yourself the ENEMY of hypocrisy, discrimination and injustice!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
