KMFDM, one of the founding fathers of industrial metal, is among those bands that are in part driven by indignation and anger. We could therefore surmise that the band’s leader, Sascha Konietzko, is a bitter man. Wrong: he’s just a man who asks himself questions regarding what’s happening in our society and wants to share his feelings to increase public awareness and to make people think. And yet, he confesses himself that KMFDM is also mainly a lot of fun.
Here’s the ambivalence – the band’s freedom of speech, which he refers to by calling his new album “Kunst”, meaning “art”. Art can take on many various forms. The proof of that is the variety of the album’s content, following the example of the band’s entire discography. KMFDM’s music is above all meant to be stimulating, either physically or intellectually: KMFDM want to make the listener react, bang their head to infectious industrial rhythms and think about what happening around them.
What’s obvious is that Konietzko is first and foremost a curious man who wants to understand the world. At the end of the following interview, he reversed the roles and interrogated us on French politics. Don’t consider this dialogue as an intent at politicization (we tried to be as neutral as possible), but it was interesting to see how the man reacted to our answers.
