KMFDM

KMFDM (originally Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid, wrong German that may be interpreted as "No Majority for the Compassion") is a multinational industrial rock band from Hamburg led by Sascha Konietzko, who founded the band in 1984 as a performance art project.

The band's earliest incarnation included German drummer En Esch and British vocalist Raymond Watts, with Watts leaving and rejoining the group several times over its history. The trio recorded the band's earliest albums in Germany before Konietzko and Esch moved to the United States, where they found much greater success with seminal industrial record label Wax Trax!. German guitarist Günter Schulz joined in 1990. Both he and Esch continued with the band until KMFDM broke up in 1999. In 2002, Konietzko resurrected KMFDM on Metropolis Records. Esch and Schulz declined to rejoin.
