"KMFDM has forged its own singular path over the course of 38+ years, refining and redefining the parameters of modern music, never missing the opportunity to address the social and political zeitgeist in brazen, belligerent, and boisterous fashion. Hyëna marks the 22nd studio album from the Ultra Heavy Beat, and what title could be more appropriate as the band laughs mockingly at the frayed and frantic state of world affairs. Driven by the vicious and virulent vocal onslaught of founder Sascha 'Käpt'n K' Konietzko and Lucia Cifarelli, the aural and angular guitar wizardry of Andee Blacksugar, and the forceful percussive thrust of Andy Selway, Hyëna blasts through the speakers with the force of a napalm airstrike. From the hip-thrusting rock and roll swagger of 'Black Hole,' the in-your-face industrial/rock of 'Liquor Fish And Cigarettes,' and the funky hip-hop overtones of 'Rock'n'roll Monster,' to the punky thrash metal fury of 'Blindface,' the sardonic blackgrass whimsy of 'Deluded Desperate Dangerous and Dumb,' and the irresistibly danceable electro of 'Hyëna' -- KMFDM remains as vital as ever, never afraid to assimilate any musical style, all the while keeping the lyrical talons sharpened and poised to strike against any and all injustice. Several members of the KMFDM family return to leave their indelible marks on Hyëna, like guitarist Jules Hodgson, rapper Andrew 'Ocelot' Lindsley, and Bruce Breckenfeld on the Hammond B3. On top of that, Sissy Misfit appears to add a decidedly venomous digital hardcore flavor to 'All Wrong - But Alright,' leaving Kumar Bent to close us out with the familiar yet fresh dub take on a KMFDM classic on 'In Dub We Trust.' Hyëna is a maniacal laugh in the face of maniacs who assume control, desperately trying to convince you that what you see, what you hear, what you read is not real -- don't you believe it! Nearly four decades on, KMFDM continues to keep it real for you as Hyëna proves to be among the group's leanest and meanest efforts, feeding fuel to the fury!"

Limited glow in the dark vinyl. "The Legendary Pink Dots has developed a devoted following over its four-decade career. On The Museum of Human Happiness, the bands unique explorations in textural ambience, rock experimentalism, lyrical imagery, hypnotic guitar and synth washes crate a spellbinding experience. In the era of lock downs, the trademark avant-garde sound is perhaps informed by observing the state of current events."

"1983's Curse marks an intersection of styles and influences that form the Legendary Pink Dots sound: a deft balance between pop arrangements and sonic experiments, ornamented imagery, somber double-entendres, Gothic yet witty arrangements, experimentalism, and psychedelics. Curse is an artistically successful turning point to the beginnings of the era of the Dots' best '80s releases. Remastered."

"Since its formation in 1984, KMFDM has been regarded as one of the driving forces in industrial/rock. But the band has always incorporated elements of many musical styles to create its trademark ultra heavy beat. 2019's Paradise proved this, exhibiting the heaviest infusion of funk & dub sounds the since such landmark albums as 1988's UAIOE and 1990's Naïve. Now KMFDM takes things to the next level with In Dub, reinterpreting some of the group's best known songs of its 35 year career into a blistering display of chilled out grooves and spaced out atmospheres. The world is held in the tightening grip of sociopolitical upheaval, so it's fitting that Sascha 'Käpt'n K' Konietzko should reach back to KMFDM's earliest roots in dub to present a fresh take on what it truly means to 'Rip the System!' 'Everything old is new again,' sings Lucia Cifarelli on 'Real Dub Thing,' perfectly defining the power of IN DUB. Mosh pit anthems reimagined into meditative grooves, laden with horns, organs, and slithering bass lines as on 'A Dub Against War,' 'Hau Dub,' and the opening 'Dub Light.' Andrew 'Ocelot' Lindsley's incendiary rapping on 'K?M?F Dub' and Cifarelli's vicious, vivacious vocals shine 'Superhero Dub,' 'Amnesia Dub,' and especially on the in-your-face electrified sonic assault of 'Rebelz Dub.' Andee Blacksugar's guitar textures and angular solos give In Dub an extra dash of audio intrigue, making this KMFDM's most unique outing. With a long history of addressing political issues and encouraging social revolution In Dub proves that KMFDM remains as powerful a voice for rebellion as ever. Angry, hopeful, tranquil, energetic, In Dub is no mere remix album -- this is KMFDM looking to its original inspirations, making a pure, honest statement that the world no longer need be a paradise for assholes. 'Dub & reggae music has been one of the greatest & most constant musical influence to me, I have been nurturing the idea of making this album for so many years, & here we go!' --Sascha K."

"The ultra heavy beat returns! Blending techno innovation, punk snarl, metal aggression, Paradise is an impactful set of dance beats, crunching guitars, & the dual vocal attack of founder Sascha K. & Lucia Cifarelli. Paradise finds a focused, furious, fed-up KMFDM at its finest. Standout tracks such as K-M-F, Paradise, & Disturb The Peace stand as a bold declaration of purpose, a call to action."

"The Legendary Pink Dots is an experimental rock band that since 1980 has thrived far outside the mainstream. Having released more than 40 albums, Angel In The Detail may stand as the band's finest work. Two years in the making, it is an enthralling, captivating release where distinctive vocals & lyrical imagery float over textural ambiance, hypnotic guitar, synth washes & spellbinding bass pulses."

"Drawing from the grittiness of early industrial & EBM, Statiqbloom (Fade Kainer/Denman C. Anderson) combine hard beats & haunting electronics with disorienting vocals to create pulsing raw post-industrial. The new album, Asphyxia, intricately weaves a dark, hallucinogenic path of intricate & grim electronics. Uncompromising, layered, and brilliant, a benchmark for the future of dark electronics."

A masterful set of avant-garde, experimentalist melancholia."

Gatefold double LP version. "Euringer is a counter-culture, surreal, psychedelic, art house, avant-garde, possibly posthumous concept project from Jimmy Urine of Mindless Self Indulgence fame. Featuring guest vocals from Grimes, Serj Tankian (System Of A Down), Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance) and Chantal Claret -- and also staring Jimmy's Mom and Dad for good measure! -- the record is one long song/musical/concerto, as if an underground movie was made for your ears. 'I wanted it to sound as if Depeche Mode hired J. Dilla and DJ Premier to drop loops while Frank Zappa produced, and then I came in and shit all over it,' said Jimmy. Now living in New Zealand full time ('the most awesome country in the world'), Jimmy shares his innermost musical insights through sixteen songs, two covers (Kate Bush's 'Wuthering Heights' and The Doobie Brothers classic 'What A Fool Believes') four guest stars and one Jimmy. Damn he is really hyping up this record -- it better be good! He continues, 'I was having fun exploring my brain and I wanted to invite my friends to have fun with me immersing myself in another time and space, bit by bit, gaining its form from my daily life into a surreal stream of consciousness.' From trigger warnings to Martin Niemöller quotes, from reading himself to boasting and testing, from touring the world to alcohol poisoning, from kissing your mother to dismissing his entire career, this two-year adventure is a mindfuck of Jimmy's escapist reality. 'Mathematically speaking I am breaking time into pieces of distance and moving through them diagonally at a rapid rate, says Jimmy. 'Naaaahh, I am just fucking with you. I just drank a whole bottle of Southern Comfort and wrote this album. A hallucination, a proclamation, a degradation? Or maybe its all just all a pile of bullshit I made up to stay relevant. Either way, I am right behind you.'"

This 2018 Expanded and Remastered Edition features bonus material, including excerpts from Any Day Now Secrets."
