KMFDM discography


The industrial rock band KMFDM has released more than two hundred songs in their over-thirty-year-long career spanning more than fifty unique releases.

Artwork

Beginning with the British release of 1986's What Do You Know, Deutschland?, British artist Aidan "Brute!" Hughes has designed the artwork for nineteen of KMFDM's twenty one studio albums, and all but two of their singles. He has also designed the artwork for their three remix albums and two live albums, and their 2010 compilation releases.
All of his work shares a distinct visual style inspired by Golden Age comic artists, Russian Constructivists, Italian Futurists, and woodcut artists. The design and complexity of the works have varied over time from primarily simple mono- or bi-color motifs to highly detailed multi-color schemes.
The remaining cover artwork has been a mixture of photos and work done by other artists.
