Die Krupps History

Die Krupps, hailing from Düsseldorf, Germany, were originally formed in 1980 by founding members Jürgen Engler and Bernhard Lloyd. Initially starting as a post-punk and new wave band, they soon moved towards industrial metal, blending electronic elements with hard-hitting guitar riffs. Their early work in the 1980s included the influential 1981 release 'Volle Kraft Voraus', which showcased their innovative sound. The band's big break came in the early 1990s with the release of 'Akkumulator', which was a pivotal record that solidified their position in the industrial rock genre. The band’s collaborations with other influential groups and artists in the electronic and metal scenes have helped to establish Die Krupps as pioneers of what would later become known as 'electro-metal'. Over the years, their theatrical live performances have gained significant recognition, combining powerful visuals and a relentless energy that captivates audiences. Die Krupps has experienced various lineup changes and hiatuses but has remained a steadfast force in the music world, continually pushing boundaries and evolving their sound, which is rooted in the industrial scene. They have consistently supported their releases with extensive tour schedules that showcase their robust live performances, characterized by a fusion of heavy metal and electronic music that keeps evolving with the times.
