### **KMFDM presents title track from new ‘Let Go’ album, out via Metropolis Records on February 2**

Rising up lean and mean, [**KMFDM**](http://www.kmfdm.net/) is doin’ it again, celebrating
40 years of conceptual continuity in grand style! [**‘LET GO’**](https://www.metropolis-records.com/product/11890/let-go)
marks the group’s 23rd studio album, the core lineup of** Sascha “Käpt’n K” Konietzko,
Lucia Cifarelli, Andy Selway** and** Andee Blacksugar** presenting their signature
onslaught of pulse-pounding rhythms, scorching electronics, blistering guitars, 
and vocals full of grit, growl, and grind addressing the social, political, and 
cultural ills of a world in perpetual turmoil.

The first taste of their new record is the title track [**‘LET GO’**](https://ingrv.es/let-go-kdv-r),
the first of the 11 tracks on the album.

Stylistically diverse as ever, KMFDM continues to bridge the gaps between genres,
coalescing into what we know and love as the Ultra Heavy Beat! “Never let them know
your next move,” says **Käpt’N K**, laying down the band’s primary philosophy on
this record, commanding you to let go of precept and pretense, to hold on tight,
leave your worries behind, and get ready to rock!

From the driving techno, dance, and funk infused thrust of **‘LET GO’** to the airily
melodic and swirling vibes of **‘AIRHEAD’** and** ‘TOUCH’**, the grooving revolutionary
oratory and percolating spaghetti western guitar and glitch-laden synth leads of**‘
TURN THE LIGHT ON’ **to the sneering and seething riot grrl fury of **‘WHEN THE 
BELL TOLLS’**, the sinister hip-hop injected **‘NEXT MOVE’**, the downright cinematic
and Teutonic electro of **‘ERLKÖNIG’**, and the virulent dub warcry of **‘WW 2023’**–
KMFDM continues to break down barriers and immerse audiences in a bold new reality.

Konietzko and Cifarelli prove as vicious a team as ever, equally sharing vocal and
lyrical duties, with longtime associate **MC Ocelot** appearing to give** ‘NEXT 
MOVE’** an extra touch of raucous rap energy. All the while, Blacksugar’s prowess
on six-strings continues to awe and astound, backed by Selway’s dynamic drumming,
meshing with Konietzko’s masterful programming.

Mixed and mastered by **Benjamin Lawrenz (VNV Nation, Deep Purple, Saga, Mono Inc.,
Lord of the Lost**), at [**Chameleon Recording Studios**](http://www.chameleonstudio.de/CHAMELEON_RECORDING_STUDIOS_HAMBURG/START.html)
in Hamburg, ‘LET GO’ signals KMFDM’s 40th anniversary loudly and proudly, with [**Aidan “BRUTE” Hughes**](https://twitter.com/bruteprop)’
distinctive cover artwork mirroring the album’s breakneck power. After four decades,
the Ultra Heavy Beat simply refuses to rest in pity and regret, raising a sharpened
middle finger at a world in chaos.

As of January 12, the ‘LET GO’ single will be available from [**fine music platforms**](https://ingrv.es/let-go-kdv-r),
including **[Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/artist/3V4IvzRQYP5mzuVtkcHgVa)**,**
[Apple Music](https://music.apple.com/us/artist/kmfdm/5544454) **and [**Bandcamp**](https://kmfdm.bandcamp.com/).
On February 2, the full ‘Let Go’ album will be released digitally, **[on CD](https://www.metropolis-records.com/product/11890/let-go)**
and as a [**Limited Edition Vinyl double LP**](https://www.metropolis-records.com/product/11891/let-go-2lp).
Following this, they embark on a month-long US tour, for which tickets are already
[**available for pre-order**](https://www.bandsintown.com/a/1266-kmfdm).

**About KMFDM:**
KMFDM (originally Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid, loosely translated
by the band as “no pity for the majority”) is a multinational industrial band from
Hamburg, Germany, led by Sascha Konietzko, who founded the band in 1984 as a performance
art project in Paris, France.

[⌊KMFDM⌉⌊KMFDM⌉[

Their early albums were recorded in Germany before moving to the USA, where they
found much greater success with Chicago-based seminal record label Wax Trax! Throughout
the 90’s, KMFDM constantly evolved with a revolving door line-up, becoming a household
name in the US music scene. Their 1995 hit **‘Juke Joint Jezebel’ **catapulted KMFDM
into the **Billboard** charts and got them onto many movie soundtracks, notably **‘
Bad Boys’ **and** ‘Mortal Kombat’.** Bands like **Rammstein **and** Korn** had their
humble beginnings opening on KMFDM tours. The band took a brief hiatus in 1999 after
recording their 10hh album for Wax Trax Records.

Konietzko resurrected KMFDM in 2002 on **Metropolis Records** with a line-up featuring,
among others, American singer **Lucia Cifarelli** (from the band [**DRILL**](https://www.instagram.com/luciacifarelliofficial/?hl=en))
and **Tim Skold** (who later joined **Marilyn Manson**). Releasing studio albums
and touring frequently throughout the 2000’s, Konietzko and Cifarelli returned to
Germany in 2008. Over their 22 studio albums and countless singles, dozens of musicians
have worked with KMFDM, with sales now in excess of two million records worldwide.

One of the first bands to bring industrial music to a mainstream audience, Konietzko
refers to KMFDM’s music as “The Ultra-Heavy Beat”. Meshing heavy metal guitar riffs,
electronic music, and both male and female vocals, their music encompasses various
styles, including industrial rock, electronic body music, and even reggae and dub.
Fiercely political, many of the band’s lyrics take a stand against violence, war
and oppression. KMFDM tour after every major release, its band members known to 
be accessible to and interact with fans, both online and at concerts.
