MDFMK was an industrial rock ensemble created by KMFDM members Sascha Konietzko and Tim Sköld, later expanded into a trio with the addition of Lucia Cifarelli (formerly part of Drill).
History
After KMFDM disbanded in 1999 due to "differences in vision and drive," Konietzko and Sköld proceeded with MDFMK. Operating out of New York, Konietzko chose Cifarelli as the lead singer following a series of auditions. The group produced a single album, MDFMK (2000, Universal Records), featuring vocal performances shared among the members. Their song "Missing Time," originally composed for the video game Prey, was also included in the animated movie Heavy Metal 2000.
In 2000, MDFMK embarked on a tour across the United States and Canada, notable for incorporating an unusual element: a massive robot guitarist named Zyclor.
By 2003, Konietzko disclosed that material intended for "MDFMK #2" existed but had not been released by Universal Records. He expressed intentions to reclaim and independently distribute the recordings if necessary.
