History

Die Krupps took the sound of heavy industry literally: early on they hammered metal percussion into their music, and later they fused electronic body music with heavy guitars. The group was formed in Düsseldorf around 1980 by Jürgen Engler with Ralf Dörper, and the name itself points to the Krupp steel dynasty. Their early single "Wahre Arbeit, wahrer Lohn" set tough sequencer lines against clanging steel, and Engler built a metal percussion instrument, the Stahlophon, for that purpose. That record is often cited among the foundations of EBM. In the early 1990s the band rebuilt its sound around guitars, recorded a tribute album of Metallica covers and released the numbered series I, II The Final Option and III Odyssey of the Mind, which placed them at the centre of the industrial metal crossover of that decade. A listener recognises them by stomping, march-like electronic rhythms, sequenced bass, shouted German and English vocals and, in the 1990s material, distorted riffs layered over the synths.
