Die Krupps is a band from Dusseldorf, Germany, founded in 1980 by Jürgen Engler and Bernward Malaka. They are regarded as the TropeMakers for Neue Deutsch Härte, though they call their style Metal Machine Music because their albums all sound quite different from each other— the only consistent elements are metal guitar, synths, and the Steelophone (a set of metal pipes attached to a frame and played by hitting them as hard as possible with metal sticks).
