If Ultra-Heavy Beat pioneers KMFDM have stood for anything over their 24 year run, it’d most certainly be sonic chaos – after all, nothing spells wild like a band with roots in four different cities, that dips the austere thump of industrial into the steely liquor of metal. So it comes as no surprise that Sascha Konietzko and company have titled their latest album, Tohuvbohu, an Old Testament word for wild or chaotic. On the heels of their double-decade anniversary, and the reissue of a few KMFDM classics (1986’s What Do You Know, Deutschland? And 1999’s Adios, to be exact) from the Wax Trax! Era and beyond, the band has further honed its metallic, factory-rock on Tohuvbohu. Just try out the hurtling paranoia of “Looking For Strange” or the creepy, lurching “I Am What I Am” to see what we mean:
>Looking For Strange
>I Am What I Am
