Critics worldwide hail them alongside Kraftwerk and Einstürzende Neubauten as pioneers of Electronic and Industrial music, bands like Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb called them their inspiration, and their musical ideas found their way into the sound of a wide spectrum of music, from Depeche Mode to the innovative pioneers of Detroit Techno.
Over 30 years and many internationally successful albums, Die Krupps have developed an unmistakable signature sound that is meant to stay, which their release Als wären wir für immer underlines.
After monumental and industrial beginnings with the album Stahlwerksinfonie, the foundation for Electronic Body Music was laid by the single Wahre Arbeit Wahrer Lohn (both Album and Single Of The Week in the British NME), and the following albums Volle Kraft Voraus and Entering The Arena, which created international interest in the band’s characteristic synthesis of hard electronics and highly danceable beats. Europe-wide releases secured the band a large following, that was only meant to increase in the ’90s.
After a three year break, international chart positions of a remake of their classic track Wahre Arbeit, now called The Machineries Of Joy, which was a collaboration with Nitzer Ebb (U.S. Billboard Dance Charts Top 10), marked the next chapter in the history of the band.
On the 21st of August they are coming to the LMB.
