At first glimpse, KMFDM's WWIII is an inspired, concussive affair. The junior-Bush-led, second Iraq-war had given KMFDM plenty of fuel for its fire, and this album finds Sascha and co. at their aggressive, confrontational best. Yet upon its' imminent re-lease in late 2013, nothing feels dated here; it sounds as urgent and angsty as you like your KMFDM to be. This album was originally released in 2003, KMFDM's second release with the then-new line-up, following 2002's ATTAK, and it presented a stance angrier than ever, yet still able to bring KMFDM's trademark wry sense of humor, as evidenced by the track “Intro” closing out the album by describing the band with the line “a beautiful girl and some dirty old men…”
With Kontributions from Lucia Cifarelli, William Rieflin, Raymond Watts, Jules Hodgson, Andy Selway, & Steve White and the ever-present Sascha Konietzko. KMFDM declare war on 'ze vorld!

The trashy goth hidden deep in my soul is delighted by the unapologetic murder-love of Vantablack. Some days you just want to sing along to a villain's "I want" song, and Vantablack is perfect. Trick Dempsey
How can anyone actually pick a favorite song off this album?
Despite being gone for way too many years, PIG comes back with unquestionably his best album of all time. For years I've questioned and searched for an artist I can actually call my favorite of all time. This album cemented that answer as PIG. thesquidking
I loved how Raymond acknowledges his KMFDM roots and and demonstrates his experience in it. It was also a pleasure to hear Steve White's guitars for the first PIG time in this as well. nyteowl666
