KMFDM reissues coming in the fall

Metropolis Records is re-issuing two albums from industrial legends KMFDM on October 22nd. The reissues give fans a taste of two KMFDM eras: Opium, originally released in 1984 and currently out of print, features some of the band's earliest recordings compiled from cassette tapes.  The album  includes experimental songs pre-dating the electro/dance/industrial sound that would go on to become the band's hallmark.  WWIII, released in 2003, is an all-out-electro/aggro musical assault and commentary inspired by the war in Iraq, and was the second album to include KMFDM's "new" line-up which they introduced in 2002.


The upcoming reissues give fans yet another thing to love about 2013.  Earlier this year KMFDM released their powerful and solid new album Kunst, and this fall KMFDM launch another tour of North America. Dates for the tour are posted below and fans interested in obtaining the reissues and/or Kunst can do so through Metropolis Records.  Buy Kunst here (also available on iTunes and Amazon), pre-order Opium here, pre-order WWIII here.
