Search - Die Krupps :: I

"Machineries of Joy", the Die Krupps initiated joint venture with Nitzer Ebb, did not only hit the Billboard charts, but also the right nerves, re-activatating Die Krupps, whom had provided some of the most pioneering electronic music works in the 80s. Die Krupps started the new decade with 1991 s "I", an album that inspired many (just compare "Dawning of Doom" with Rammstein´s "Das Tier") and paved the way for a new sound. "Metal Machine Music" already hinted at the potential of the clash of sequenced electronics and soaring guitars which was to dominate industrial clubs over the next years. Their cover version of Metallica s "One" provided a reference point - a full-blown electronic tribute to the kind of monster that was to soon follow.
