The Ultra Heavy Beat Invades Chicagoland! Industrial Royalty KMFDM Plays Sold Out Show at Chicago’s Legendary Metro-

Fans in fishnets were dressed to impressed and stood in line for hours in the freezing cold of Chicago on 3/15/2024 at Metro. It was totally worth it to see the influential industrial band KMFDM . With their “kill motherfucking Depeche Mode*** “ attitude, this band absolutely put on a killer show . 

Front woman Lucia Cifarelli, announced an upcoming solo album, which she performed a song from the new record . The band rocked the stage with their recognizable aggressive hypnotic metal/industrial sound.  Touring support opening act Cyanotic brought the crowd a hardcore, dark synth vibe as they also rocked the stage for an impressive 45 minute set.

Both bands have amazing merch including tour shirts, CDs, signed records and more. The Chicago crowd was nuts, but such a fun group of people moshing all around on the floor.

Overall I highly recommend you buy tickets and see as many KMFDM shows as you can!! This event was an all ages show. You can purchase tickets from the bands main website https://kmfdm.net.

***_{Editor’s note: KMFDM does not stand for Kill Mother Fucking Depeche Mode by the way- that is an old tale… It is, infact, German and stands for ” Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid ” or, as translated into English- “No pity for the majority”!}
