Die Krupps is a German industrial band formed in 1980 by Juergen Engler and Ralf Dörper . Over the years they have produced krautrock-tinged metalbashing industrial, old-school ebm, industrial electro and, most recently, industrial metal/neue deutsche härte.
The band’s name comes from the Krupp dynasty - one of pre-war Germany´s main industrial families. 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, was in the vein of metal-on-metal industrial acts like Einstürzende Neubauten. Their following album, 1982’s Volle Kraft Voraus, combined the industrial sound of their debut with electronic rhythms similar to DAF.
In 1984, the group released their first English-language album, Entering the Arena, which combined grand, orchestral arrangements with their trademark metallic percussion and a more conventional synthpop sound.
Doerper left to join Propaganda, and Die Krupps went on hiatus for a few years. In 1989, they collaborated with Nitzer Ebb — a band their sound had clearly influenced — to remake Volle Kraft Voraus’s “Wahre Arbeit, Wahrer Lohn” as “The Machineries of Joy.” The single was a major club hit,and it resparked interest in the band, who followed in 1990 with the now-classic “Germaniac” single.

¿Qué tan difíciles son de encontrar los álbumes originales de Die Krupps?

If you are interested in industrial rock AND ebm, you must get "Too Much History" by die Krupps. The album consists of two CDs, and may be sold separately or bundled together. All tunes are not remastered but newly re-performed. Not a few old fans say they are a bit different than the originals, which I cannot judge because I have few original ones. I'm certainly going to collect originals but most of them are fairly hard to obtain nowadays. Die Krupps have reissued a couple of original albums and I really hope they continue to do that, like KMFDM have done for theirs.

Try a torrent-download, btjunkie.org for example. Or soulseek, you can get the discography eventually there, with a bit of research.

Man.. 15 years (or so) after I discovered these guys on a german MTV-like music channel, with the "To the hilt"-video, it's still going strong as some of the best EBM - and I'll dare say; best music - I have ever heard. So incredibly undeservedly overseen..
