Highschool Of The K-ON!
Aidan Hughes’s KMFDM X K-ON!
Symbols (KMFDM album)
The tenth KMFDM album (1997) is titled with a string of five unpronounceable, non-alphabetic symbols (see cover art), but usually cataloged as Symbols. Band members have claimed they are meant to be similar to the unpronounceable symbols used to indicate profanity in the word balloons of comics

Aidan Hughes Album artwork
KMFDM has a long-standing relationship with commercial artist Aidan “Brute!” Hughes, who creates the iconic artwork adorning almost all of the band’s albums and singles. In the 1980s, Hughes published a pulp-style magazine called BRUTE! which earned him notoriety. “Brute” has become an occasional pseudonym for Hughes as well. He claims influence from American comic book artist Jack Kirby, John Martin, and (most apparently) from Russian propaganda posters.
KMFDM
KMFDM (originally Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid) is an industrial band led by German multi-instrumentalist Sascha Konietzko, who founded the group in 1984 as a performance art project. KMFDM is an initialism for the nonsensical and grammatically incorrect German phrase Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid, which literally translates as “no majority for the pity”, but is typically given the loose translation of “no pity for the majority”.
