Die Krupps solmi usean albumin sopimuksen Dependent Recordsin kanssa

Kirjoittanut Niko Kuusela - 26.8.2025

Saksalainen industrial metallia soittava Die Krupps on solminut usean albumin kattavan sopimuksen Dependent Recordsin kanssa. Bändin tuleva pitkäsoitto julkaistaan ensi vuonna ja iso osa yhtyeen katalogista uudelleenjulkaistaan niin digitaalisessa kuin fyysisessä formaatissa.

”We’re coming full circle and that is a good
thing!”, Jürgen Engler points out. ”Our first contact with Stefan
Herwig goes back about thirty years, before he founded Dependent
Records. Back in the days, he hooked us up with Front Line Assembly for
the compilation series ’Remix Wars’ and put us on a tour with them in
North America in 1996. Now in 2025, the time has come for Die Krupps and
Dependent to join forces in order to write the next chapter in our long
history. It somehow feels like a homecoming – a great omen for the
successful collaboration that we are very much looking forward to!”

”With the exception of a short detour at a major
record company during the early days of our career, we have always been
with independent labels”, he states. ”Therefore it is quite logical that
we are joining Dependent Records in the 45th year of our band history.
Particularly as the label is run by a veteran and companion of many
years such as Stefan Herwig, who has continually brought new impulses to
the scene.”

”Die Krupps are a
musical legend, perhaps even the most traditional electronic band of
their scene to be named in the same breath as DAF and Einstürzende
Neubauten”, the Dependent director enthuses. ”What sets them apart from
many of the peers is the undeniable fact that they are still very much
active and going strong. This is exemplified by their highly successful
US-Tour with Ministry and Nitzer Ebb, where the band enjoyed a
phenomenal reception. We are electrified and thrilled to begin this
cooperation.”
