[edit] Artwork

Beginning with the British release of 1986's What Do You Know, Deutschland?, the artwork for nearly every KMFDM release has been designed by British artist Brute!, with all sharing a similar distinct visual style inspired by propaganda posters of World War II and the Cold War. The design and complexity of the works have evolved over time from primarily simple mono- or bi-color motifs (early albums) to highly detailed multi-color schemes (Attak, WWIII).
