"A Drug Against War" is a song by industrial rock band KMFDM from their 1993 album Angst. It was released as a single prior to the album, and was shown on the MTV cartoon Beavis and Butt-head on July 11, 1994.[4] It was re-released as a 7" in 2009. On March 1, 2010, it was made available as a downloadable song for the game Rock Band.[5]
[edit] Critical reception
Joshua Landau of Allmusic said the four track single was "only of interest to serious fans".[6] Andy Hinds, in the 2002 book All Music Guide to Rock, called the song KMFDM's most over the top moment to date.[3] Ten years after its release, Brad Filicky of CMJ New Music Report said "A Drug Against War" was one of the most potent speed metal songs ever.[2]
