Die Krupps: The Machines Keep Running – Stronger Than Ever!

For 45 years, Die Krupps has been synonymous with innovation, energy, and an uncompromising attitude. What Jürgen Engler and Ralf Dörper have created is more than just music – it's a movement, a soundtrack for rebellion and change that has blurred the lines between EBM, industrial, and metal, leaving a lasting mark on the international music landscape.

In 2025, Die Krupps will celebrate this extraordinary anniversary with a new chapter: the highly anticipated release of their new album in the second half of the year. Capturing the essence of the band, this album masterfully combines their strengths. Pounding industrial beats meet dark, atmospheric melodies; anthemic choruses fuse with uncompromising lyrics. Die Krupps remain true to their DNA while reinventing themselves once again. It promises to be an album that will captivate both longtime fans and new listeners alike – a statement proving that, after 45 years, this band still burns with passion.

Jürgen Engler, the driving creative force and tireless soul of the band – founder, musical visionary, composer, and multi-instrumentalist – along with Ralf Dörper, the visionary lyricist and sound architect, are more than ready to write the next chapter in Die Krupps' history. Together with extraordinary drummer Paul Keller and new addition, guitarist Dylan Smith, they make one thing clear: the industrial revolution is far from over.

A special addition to the band, Dylan Smith, known for his time with the legendary The Sisters of Mercy, now strengthens Die Krupps with his unique stage presence and musical experience. Smith brings fresh energy and a distinctive dynamic to the group, elevating the band’s already powerful sound to a new level. His contributions add an extra dimension to the upcoming album – dark, powerful, and electrifying.

The upcoming anniversary tour and new album are an invitation to fans to witness the band's evolution live – a journey through the past, present, and future of one of the most influential bands in the international music scene. Die Krupps are not just part of history – they’re still writing it. 2025 will be loud, intense, and unforgettable.
