Short answers, pulled from the story.
KMFDM released their 22nd studio album Hyëna on the 9th of September 2022. This release marked a significant moment for the German industrial rock band after a three-year gap since their prior work Paradise in September 2019.
Sascha Käpt'n Konietzko serves as the founder and provides vocals alongside Lucia Cifarelli throughout the project. They lead the charge with vicious and virulent vocal onslaughts that define the record's identity.
The music relies on angular guitar wizardry from Andee Blacksugar and forceful percussive thrust from Andy Selway driving the rhythm forward. These elements combine to create a dense sonic landscape featuring heavy instrumentals and lyrics calling out those in power directly.
KMFDM toured North America during September and October of 2022 to support the new album release across multiple cities. They played select dates in May 2023 at events including the Sick New World Festival.
Critics responded with very favorable reviews upon the album's arrival noting its energized burst of power and winking humor. Neil Z. Yeung described it as always-reliable trademark style while Johann Carlsson highlighted the vicious and virulent vocal onslaughts.
