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.

Die Krupps
Go shed the old skin -
For the new skin
Transgression
Let the old flesh-
Rotten to trash
Resscurection
Seize the old laws
Riddled by flaws
Perfection
Open your mind
Dont stay behind
Progression
Weakness - these days are over
Old flesh - replaced by shiny armour
New thoughts - the mind expanding
Real tasks - that are demanding
This body is invisible
Perfection is the principle
Feel the clockwork
Of the new heart
Precision
Feed the engine
Of your bloodstream
Recondition
Move your muscles
Like a machine
Direction
Give your life
A new dimension
