Audio Remasterer: Brian Gardner . Arguably KMFDM's finest and most focused outing, 1993's ANGST features the German industrial-rock ensemble in the midst of a furious early-'90s stride. On these aggressive, dance-floor-ready tracks, musical mastermind Sascha Konietzko hones the band's already-formidable sonic attack, as best revealed on "A Drug Against War," a fast and punishingly heavy single that became a minor alternative hit and reinforced the group's kinship to former Wax Trax! labelmates Ministry. Other highlights of the record include the fierce "Light," with its distinctively razor-sharp guitar lines, and the pounding, tongue-in-cheek "Sucks." Although it's nearly matched by its follow-up, NIHIL, most fans will attest to ANGST's status as the uber-KMFDM album.

The German industrial dance act KMFDM were one of the first bands to recognize the link between the mechanical ferocity of industrial music and the unrelenting rhythms of the dance floor. Although they formed in Germany in 1984, they soon made a name for themselves in the United States as one of the premier bands on the seminal Chicago industrial label Wax Trax. While their popularity faltered a bit in the wake of more cartoonish American versions of KMFDM's aesthetic, the band's influence on industrial music can not be underestimated.
