KMFDM RELEASE “ENEMY”

TITLE TRACK FROM NEW ALBUM OUT FEBRUARY 6 VIA METROPOLIS RECORDS

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! After 42 years of conceptual continuity and distinction through diversity, KMFDM are back with “ENEMY”! The 24th album by the German electronic and industrial rock pioneers is scheduled for release on 6th February 2026, with its title song out now as its second single. “In many countries all over the world, questionable leaders declare part of their populations as ‘enemies’. We are ENEMY!” the band state bluntly.

The new album also includes the previously released “OUBLIETTE” new music | stream | Bandcamp. From the French word ‘oublier’, meaning ‘to forget’, an oubliette is a dungeon with the only access being via a trapdoor in its ceiling. Perfectly constructed from a captor’s perspective, detection and escape are impossible.

Due to a recent severe illness requiring medical intervention and therapy, KMFDM have been forced to postpone a previously announced (and almost sold out) European tour in February and March 2026. All tickets sold will remain valid for the rescheduled shows, with an update on the timescale of these expected soon.

Kommanded by the songwriting and vocal power of Sascha ‘Käpt’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 ‘YOÜ’, marking her songwriting debut with the group.

Never a band to take the easy path, ENEMY delivers some of KMFDM’s most stylistically challenging and politically scathing material yet; from the dance/rock melodicism of “OUBLIETTE” to the darkened grooves of “CATCH & KILL”, the satirical brute force thrash of “OUTERNATIONAL INTERVENTION” to the vicious and hyperbolic industrial metal of “L’ETAT”, and the funky throb of ‘VAMPYR’ 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!
