Just less than a year after
KMFDM called it quits, frontmen
Sascha Konietzko and
Tim Skold moved from
TVT to
Universal and changed their name to
MDFMK. (
TVT executives are undoubtedly still attempting to trace their whereabouts.) This self-titled work doesn't quite qualify as a change of direction, however, begging the question of whether the change of venue is due more to artistic control or finances than music.
MDFMK charts the same breakbeat industrial-thrash that has long been a staple of any
KMFDM album, complete with ranting vocals, aggressive songwriting, heavy-metal chords that sound vaguely familiar, and solid programming that reveals a surprising pop sense. There are a few concessions to technology, including groovier basslines and digital production. Though the songs aren't very strong and the vocals are a bit melodramatic,
KMFDM fans will simply be glad to get another album out of the act.
