KMFDM North American Tour this August!

KMFDM, the German electro-industrial legends will return to North America this August! This will be their first North American tour since the April release of WTF? (Metropolis Records). This is what the bands leader Sascha Konietzo, had to say about their upcoming tour:

"We are putting together one hell of a playlist for this tour with lots of fresh material from WTF?! as well as some killer classics and maybe even a surprise or two."

Sharing the stage with KMFDM on the WTF?! tour will be Army of the Universe, 16Volt (Aug. 3 to 14 only) and Human Factors Lab. Army of the Universe, an Italian industrial duo, recently released their debut album Mother Ignorance on Metropolis Records. The band features renowned European DJ Albert Vorne aka Trebla. Chris Vrenna (Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM), will join Army of the Universe for a handful of dates (see below). 16Volt released Beating Dead Horses, the Portland band's seventh studio album, in May. Human Factors Lab will be debuting their new EP We All Fall Down on the tour.

Like if that wasn't enough, William Wilson of Legion Within is performing with the current KMFDM line-up of Sascha, Lucia Cifarelli (Vocals, Keyboards), Jules Hodgson (Guitars), Andy Selway (Drums) and Steve White (Guitars).

KMFDM also recently released a collection of their best known tracks in a single disc version titled Würst and a double disc edition called Greatest Shit. Both releases feature songs from their time spent on WaxTrax! and Metropolis/KMFDM Records.
