Die Kruppsis a German electropunk, ebmand crossoverband formed in 1980 by Juergen Engler and Ralf Doerper. The band's name comes from the Krupp dynasty - one of pre-war Germany´s main industrialfamilies. This name was apparently chosen for its industrial connotations, as the band is strongly anti-Nazi. In some interviews the band stated that Visconti´s movie "The Damned" - a depiction of the fictitious German industrial dynasty of the Essenbecks - was the main inspiration. Die Krupps's debut EP, 1981's Stahlwerkssymphony, strongly resembled Einsturzende Neubauten.

Behind Lyrics
Die Krupps
Originally performed by Metallica
Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the Battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found me
Battery
Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the Battery
