KMFDM HYENA: NEW ALBUM, TOUR AND MERCHANDISING.

August 10, 2022 Aidan Hughes Leave a comment

ANNOUNCING THE NEW ALBUM! KMFDM “HYËNA”!!!­­­­­KMFDM has forged its own singular
path over the course of 38+ years, continuously refining and redefining the
parameters of modern music, while also never missing the opportunity to address
the social and political zeitgeist in brazen, belligerent, and boisterous
fashion. HYËNA marks the 22nd studio album from the Ultra Heavy Beat, and what
title could be more appropriate as the band laughs mockingly at the frayed and
frantic state of world affairs? Driven by the vicious and virulent vocal
onslaught of founder Sascha “Käpt’n K” Konietzko and Lucia Cifarelli, the aural
and angular guitar wizardry of Andee Blacksugar, and the forceful percussive
thrust of Andy Selway, HYËNA blasts through the speakers with the force of a
napalm airstrike. From the hip-thrusting rock & roll swagger of “BLACK HOLE,”
the in-your-face industrial/rock of “LIQUOR FISH & CIGARETTES,” and the funky
hip-hop overtones of “ROCK’N’ROLL MONSTER,” to the punky thrash metal fury of
“BLINDFACE,” the sardonic blackgrass whimsy of “DELUDED DESPERATE DANGEROUS &
DUMB,” and the irresistibly danceable electro of “HYËNA” – KMFDM remains as
vital as ever, never afraid to assimilate any musical style, all the while
keeping the lyrical talons sharpened and poised to strike against any and all
injustice.  Several members of the KMFDM family return to leave their indelible
marks on HYËNA, like guitarist Jules Hodgson, rapper Andrew “Ocelot” Lindsley,
and Bruce Breckenfeld on the Hammond B3. On top of that, Sissy Misfit appears to
add a decidedly venomous digital hardcore flavor to “ALL WRONG – BUT ALRIGHT,”
leaving Kumar Bent to close us out with the familiar yet fresh dub take on a
KMFDM classic on “IN DUB WE TRUST.” HYËNA is a maniacal laugh in the face of
maniacs who assume control, desperately trying to convince you that what you
see, what you hear, what you read is not real – don’t you believe it! Nearly
four decades on, KMFDM continues to keep it real for you as HYËNA proves to be
among the group’s leanest and meanest efforts, feeding fuel to the fury!­­

THE COMPLETE BRUTE! HARDBACK – NOW ON AMAZON!

Link October 1, 2020 Aidan Hughes Leave a comment

After 35 years and countless attempts to get it published (OK, six), I am proud
to be able to finally offer this iconic slab of pulp fiction to the public.
Originally, we hoped to publish it with Titan Books but, due to a disagreement
about the content, they passed on the proposal and co-author and -creator,
Malcolm Bennett, sadly died while we were still in negotiations. After another
year of stalled plans, we were finally approached by Eyewear Press who promised
us complete artistic control and final edit and the result is now available
online.
Please, share the link to get BRUTE! recognised as the cultural landmark it is.
Buy it!

THE BRUTE! CLASSIFIED PULP NASTIES COLLECTION IS HERE!

January 24, 2020 Aidan Hughes Leave a comment

Over the last few decades since the publication of the Sphere paperback, we have
attempted to find a new publisher to reprint the stories from my BRUTE! magazine
into one volume. After being turned down by several companies, we have secured
the services of Eyewear Press and I’m proud to announce that the book will be on
the shelves in May 2020. Featuring all the stories from the seven BRUTE! pulp
magazines and the paperback plus the short stories from Blitz and BIKE
magazines, this is a comprehensive collection that includes several never before
published yarns and illustrations.

BRUTE! ARTWORK FOR THE MASSIVE ATTACK/MAD PROFESSOR REMIX ALBUM

September 23, 2019 Aidan Hughes 1 Comment

My illustration for the band has been gestating since I first signed on for the
project over 5 years ago in which time several obstacles had to be overcome
before its release. However, the band re-contacted me to renew communication
after they invited me to see their show in Prague last year and the artwork
proper began in earnest.
I suggested in my initial briefing with the band’s Robert Del Naja that a Jack
Kirby-style cover would suit the nature of the release and I came up with a
number of concepts before the idea of a super-powered Mad Professor blasting
away at a horde of giant insects (referencing the Colorado beetle cover on the
cover of their 1998 Mezzanine album) struck a chord and was completed in a
couple of weeks.

KMFDM – PARADISE: SKETCHES AND FINAL ART.

July 10, 2019 Aidan Hughes Leave a comment



Final artwork. Inked by hand and colored in Adobe Illustrator



For the their new album, Paradise, KMFDM supremo, Sasha Konietsko, wanted an
artwork that would inspire hope in a world torn apart by tribal rivalries and
hatred. As both of us are family men, it seemed appropriate to create an image
that would illustrate our state of mind concerning the future of our children
and immediately this post-apocalyptic scene popped into my head. Hold them
close, teach them well and maybe their generation can accomplish that which we
did not.



Sketch one based on an idea by Sascha Konietsko. I originally saw it as a Mad
Max-meets-Social Realism propaganda piece but, as the backstory to the scenario
grew in my mind, I could see it becoming something more meaningful.





Secondary sketch. Still with the message of hope I wished to create fresh in my
mind, I replaced the corny heroism for a quieter dynamic and tried to capture
the relationship between father and daughter.





Third sketch. I decided to use a reverse symmetrical angle of the father and
daughter to indicate the connection between this scenario and my earlier artwork
for KMFDM’s Salvation album in which a young warrior rescues an unconscious
woman from the ruins of a destroyed city.





In this initial pencil sketch, the main character had a bow, a knife and a
pistol. These were all subsequently removed when Sascha and I agreed that they
should be entering the future without weapons.





One of a series of alternative colour and background combinations. The sky in
this version was considered too busy and replaced in the final illustration by a
huge sun.





This image from the album, Salvation, ties in with the one from the Paradise
cover in that the woman the young warrior rescues from the ruined city is the
mother of his daughter in the new illustration

CUSTOM BRUTE! PORTRAITS NOW AVAILABLE.

August 18, 2017 Aidan Hughes Leave a comment

There are a number of positive aspects to my work as a portrait artist. One, I
don’t have to come up with a narrative or conceptual roughs for the
illustration. Two, I work from an available media source (the photos). Three,
there’s no management committee putting their ten-pennorth in and extending the
job schedule with endless re-edits and Four, I get to reach an audience who
might normally never get to own one of my more expensive pieces.

Prices for portraits start at 650 (655 USD) per face. For specific backgrounds
and/ or props, an extra fee will be added.
Final file is delivered in vector format for maximum print size scalability.

For details on how to commission your own portrait, please contact me at
bruteprop@gmail.com
