'''Excessive Force''' is a musical [side project](/source/side_project) started in 1991 by [Sascha Konietzko](/source/Sascha_Konietzko) of [KMFDM](/source/KMFDM) and Buzz McCoy of [My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult](/source/My_Life_with_the_Thrill_Kill_Kult).

==History==
In 1991, Excessive Force released the single "[Conquer Your House](/source/Conquer_Your_House)", followed by the album ''[Conquer Your World](/source/Conquer_Your_World)''.  After this release, McCoy had no more involvement in Excessive Force, which went on to become exclusively a KMFDM side project.  In 1993, Excessive Force released the single "[Blitzkrieg](/source/Blitzkrieg_(song))" followed by the album ''[Gentle Death](/source/Gentle_Death)''.  The band is also credited with remixes of the KMFDM songs "[Light](/source/Light_(KMFDM_song))" and "[Megalomaniac](/source/Megalomaniac_(KMFDM_song))".

Konietzko dismissed the possibility of reforming Excessive Force referring to it as "a one off that turned into a two off."<ref name=chaos/> He also noted that there is a Canadian [white supremacist](/source/white_supremacy) band that uses the same name.<ref name=chaos>[http://www.chaoscontrol.com/kmfdm-2/ Chaos Control Digizine : KMFDM Interview<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
