Such industrial alt-metal outfits as Nine Inch Nails and Ministry received the lion's share of press and commercial success during the '90s, but there were a handful of other bands that were slugging it out for just as long (if not longer), including Kmfdm. The band's name has been the subject of countless debates amongst fans over the years as to what it stands for (their record company even went as far as holding a contest in 1994 for fans to submit possible meanings, resulting in more than a thousand entries), but the confirmed meaning is Kein Mitleid Für Die Mehrheit, when translated in English means No Pity for the Majority. 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.
