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.

Metalmorphosis Lyrics
Die Krupps
Weak the body and the soul
Poor the body and the mind
Lost the vision as a whole
Shame and disgrace to the kind
Drift around directionless
No clue what occured to me
Got myself into a mess
Swallowed down by misery
Body - body - body
Versus
Mind - mind - mind
Versus
Soul - soul - soul
This was then but this is now
Find your own identity
This was then but this is now
Truth lies in intensity
Time for change
Metalmorphosis - metalmorphosis
History repeats itself
At the point of no return
Decays put back on the shelves
Dying flame is back to burn
Energy is streaming back
Removes weakness frame by frame
New beginnings taking shape
Destiny recalls my name
This was then but this is now
Regained power and control
This was then but this is now
On the edge but burning slow.
