Konietzko moved to Chicago in 1991, and Esch followed a year later. KMFDM quickly became a part of the Chicago industrial music scene that included Ministry, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult , and Revolting Cocks . Konietzko later remarked, “We came from Germany and we all had to have day jobs and work our asses off to afford to be KMFDM and all of a sudden we’re in the states and we’re selling thousands of thousands of [ sic ] fucking records!”
