KMFDM Drop Their New Single “Oubliette”

Industrial rock icons KMFDM have officially launched “Oubliette”, the first single from their forthcoming 24th studio album ‘ENEMY’. The record—set to arrive February 6th—also marks the debut of guitarist Tidor Nieddu as the newest addition to the lineup.

According to the band, the track draws on the French word “oublier,” meaning “to forget,” referring to an oubliette: a dungeon accessible only through a trapdoor from above.

In a statement included with today’s release, the group added:

“Oubliette‘ is out today (12th December) as the first single from ‘ENEMY‘. From the French word ‘oublier’, meaning ‘to forget’, an oubliette is a dungeon with the only access being via a trapdoor in its ceiling. Perfect constructed from a captor’s perspective, detection and escape are more or less impossible. ‘A place to be forgotten,’ the band simply state. ‘What nobody sees, nobody knows.’”

Following the album’s release, KMFDM will hit the road across Europe for a run of headlining dates throughout February and March.
