From their beginnings as a performance-art project in the early ’80s, German noise fetishists KMFDM emerged as one of the earliest, most-pioneering and, eventually, longest-running industrial acts. The band has experienced a good deal of turnover over the decades, leaving frontman Sascha Konietzko the band’s only original member, but their recent output has remained true to the harsh spirit of the group’s earliest recordings—their intense 12th and latest album Hell Yeah is yet another brutal opus. By now Konietzko should be very familiar with the Rave: His band has played there seven times before, their first being a show with Korn back in October 1995.
