I pionieri dell’industrial rock KMFDM hanno annunciato l’uscita di Yeah!, EP di cinque tracce contenente inediti e remix, che sarà pubblicato il 23 giugno per earMUSIC in digipak e digitale. La release servirà da apripista per il nuovo full length, in uscita ad agosto. Queste le note di presentazione delle tracce:
““Hell Yeah” an instant KMFDM “classic” with its ultra-heavy beat and Sascha Konietzko’s trademark cynical lyrics and the anthemic Lucia Cifarelli-fronted “Freak Flag”, which is included in an edit on this EP. It is a distinctive hymn for outlaws, freaks, mavericks – and all of us indeed. KMFDM also revisited 2002’s Attak/Reload and created “Attak 2017”, a high-octane remixed version of the song. German rock band Lord Of The Lost’s remix of “Hell Yeah” takes the original to a wholly new and surprising direction.”
