KMFDM have been blending and bending musical genres in the underground scene for more than 21 years. Loosely translated from German as Heave-Ho, Hau Ruck exhibits that title in all its glory, musically rolling up its sleeves and getting to work with heavy guitars, dance inducing synths, and aggressive beats. As for the singing, Lucia unleashes a spectrum of vocal styles and Sascha K spews his own trademark bad-ass attitude. Lyrically thought provoking, yet humorously ironic, KMFDM skewer the world and themselves with each stab. Throwing out all misconceptions of the band and the genres they are associated with, Hau Ruck is their most powerful and innovative album. They produced and mixed the record themselves, thus guaranteeing a sonic redefining of their signature sound. Metropolis. 2005.
