KMFDM - Amnesia Tour 2012 + Ambassador 21 @ Zappa - Antwerp
Spawned in germany during 1984, kmfdm pioneered the crossover between techno/dance and heavy metal with their signature industrial sound. moving to chicago in the mid‐80's kmfdm was the pride of waxtrax! records during the label’s peak. rapidly evolving year by year through intense experimentation and touring; the band has redefined themselves with each new release.
through almost countless releases and relentless musical exploration and reinvention they have continued to top themselves until today.
the band’s 2011 release, wtf?! and its companion single krank, was no exception!
this spring they will release another single taken from their latest album ‘amnesia’ followed by some exclusive european festival and club show!
after mind-blowing at the sinnerday 2011 festival (hasselt) where they surprised friend and foe, and the remember-able highly energetic show at trix club (antwerp) in 2010 it’s time again for kmfdm to conquer antwerp .... once again!
supporting kmfdm on this exclusive antwerp night will be the digital hardcore riot noise unit from bellarus: ambassador 21!
And if that isn’t enough KMFDM and BODYBEATS will reward the first 100 visitors with a free copy of the KMFDM remix album ‘KRIEG’!

1984 was a pivotal year for A Split-Second. Originally a new wave high-school band playing covers
and a few own compositions, the first line-up disbanded as composer, singer and bass player Marc
Ickx went more electronic with a primitive sequencer and drum computer.
Without previous studio experience, he started recording “STAINED IMPRESSIONS”, a demo tape
recorded in single takes with cassette-to-cassette overdubs.
In between recordings he met with Chrismar Chayell, an old classmate who had a small multi-track
recording studio. Chayell had already recorded among others the full length TWILIGHT RITUAL album
“The Ritual”, and offered to produce and record five of the songs at his studio. The first five songs on
“STAINED IMPRESSIONS” were recorded there. Chayell also arranged and played a keybord part on
“TEARGAS AND CHAMPAGNE”, marking the beginning of what was to come for A Split-Second.
The songs also mark a transition, songs like “HUNGER” and “NEUROBEAT” were written by Ickx for the
previous line-up, of which “NEUROBEAT” was the only song to make it to the debut album “BALLISTIC
STATUES”. From the other songs, parts of titles and lyrics were picked up for later material, and
“RESIGNATION” was the blueprint for “RIGOR MORTIS”. Most of the other songs are largely improvised
in a search for the new direction Ickx’ songwriting was heading for.
Largely raw and primitive, “STAINED IMPRESSIONS” provides an interesting look into the genesis of one
of the most influential alternative electronic bands of the 80’s, and the variety and experimentation that marked this era.
