Sascha "never liked ANGST very much." Thus, his goal for NIHIL was "to not make a record like ANGST." An example of his desire for perfection lies in the fact that he spent around "eight or nine months" writing 30 songs for NIHIL and selected only ten of those songs to be on the album.
Sascha didn't commission Brute to do the artwork for NIHIL simply because he wanted a change from what was becoming a "formula." Francesca Sundsten created the cover art exclusively for NIHIL after Sascha gave her some early versions of NIHIL's songs.
Sascha wants to be cremated when he dies because he doesn't like the idea of a person's body sitting in the earth.

MDFMK's Sascha Konietzko on controversy, scapegoating and Columbine.
Konietzko did his best to disseminate this information, but most of it was lost in the hysteria that followed the incident, leaving him with an overwhelming feeling of impotence.
Konietzko sees the name the trio settled on for their new project -- MDFMK, or KMFDM in reverse order -- as a pleasingly intellectual, "very KMFDM-ish" way of showing that the group is a fresh twist on its predecessor, not a repudiation of it.

 KAOS2000 Magazine interview with Sascha Konietzko - KMFDM / MDFKM
In the beginning, though Sascha had the drive to make music he didn't have the cash so, he put together KMFDM as an avante-rock troupe that used inanimate objects for the tones that he wanted to move from his mind to other people's ears.
Sascha disbanded KMFDM completely in 1999 and erected MDFMK in its place, which, despite the mirror image implied by the name, is a very different animal than KMFDM ever was yet it is still solidly identifiable as Sascha Konietzko.
MDFMK is a trio with Sascha directing guitarist Tim Skold, the lone holdover from the latter day KMFDM, and the indescribably beautiful Lucia Cifarelli in a sonic sound play that is equal parts Techno and Metal and slightly louder than WWIII.

However, amid this confluence of Eddie Bauer and Starbucks, German expatriate Sascha Konietzko and his ever-evolving cast of KMFDM conspirators have spent the better part of the past decade turning out their own unique brand of hard-hitting electronic music.
Although Konietzko and Hodgson created the majority of the instruments and textures, the later stages of the songwriting process fell on the group's three vocalists: Konietzko, Cifarelli and Watts.
For Konietzko and Cifarelli, the process was fairly straightforward, as they were both on location in Seattle and could easily contribute their ideas.

Sturm had no lasting musical aspirations and Konietzko was interested in studio recordings more than the occasional art-performance, therefore he joined forces with then-Hamburg-based studio owner Raymond Watts and drummer Klaus Schandelmaier, later known as En Esch.

Once again, KMFDM has a slightly prophetic angle.” WWIII is KMFDM’s 15th full-length album, and while many of the bands operating in their milieu have either faded away or have become a sad parody of themselves, Konietzko’s ensemble has embraced new directions while continuing to jack-up the energy level.
We just made decisions and had fun.” WWIII opens with 54 seconds of quasi-Appalachian backporch whimsy: slide guitars, moonshine swigs and the sound of what could be an inbred mating call from the movie Deliverance.
The title track’s urgency is as harrowing as the KMFDM classic, “A Drug Against War”: Factor in the state of the world today, and the song’s relevancy is as real as a pick-axe to the forehead.

But if there’s one thing you can say about MDFMK’s Sascha Konietzko – who used to be the one-man-band KMFDM before he decided to form a band with sometime collaborator Tim Skold and ex-Drill singer Lucia Cifarelli – is that he’s not a guy who’s easily fazed.

The German band has included countless members over the years, but through it all, their leader has remained Sascha Konietzko, whose multi-tasks have included songwriter, producer, mixer, programmer, sampler, vocalist, percussionist, bassist, and electronic gadgets.
But before the new outfit could issue any recordings, both Konietzko and Esch had dropped out and returned back to KMFDM (Missing Foundations would carry on with replacement members and go on to issue albums on their own from the late '80s through the early '90s).
In the wake of the group's split, Konietzko assembled a new outfit, MDFMK (yep, KMFDM spelled backwards) and issued a lone self-titled release in 2000 before KMFDM reunited in 2002 for an all new album, Attak, and the live album Sturm & Drang Tour 2002.

 dOc DVD Review: KMFDM: WWIII Tour 2003 (2004)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The industrial outfit KMFDM is allegedly an abbreviation for Kein Mehrheit Fur Die Mitleid (roughly No Pity For The Majority), though popular rumor in the mid-1980s was that it stood for Kill Mother F***ing Depeche Mode, which is so fitting considering their being quite literally the antithesis to radio friendly synth pop.
The band, still anchored by Konietzko but featuring an revolving array of talent (including recurring Brit vocalist/guitarist Ray Watts), eventually relocated to Chicago, and then to Seattle, disbanded in 1999, returned briefly as an entity known as MDFMK, and then got back together formally—with their current lineup—once again as KMFDM in 2002.
Trading lead vocal duties between Konietzko, Watts and Cifarelli, the band has again morphed a level in the evolutionary tree, but still deliver an industrial dose of driving electronic beats and eerily distorted vocals.
