Along with Front 242, the German chemical group Die Krupps stands as one of the innovators of the subgenre of Euro-rock dubbed body music, a sound characterized by its dim electronic make-up as comfortably as its coarse, visceral murder. Die Krupps came together in 1981 as a pair comprised of vocaliser, guitar player, keyboardist, and mouthpiece Jurgen Engler, erstwhile of the German punk rock outfit Male, and ex-Propaganda member Ralf Dorper. Over the course of the group's first three records -- 1981's Stahlwerksinfonie, 1982's Volle Kraft Voraus, and 1984's Entrance the Arena -- Die Krupps continued to refine its lyrically bare, synth-based sound. (A two-record retrospective cover these three LPs, Metalle Maschinen Musik 91-81 Past Forward, appeared in 1991.)
The mid-'80s marked a fallow point for the band, and it was not until the 1992 button of the album One that it became clear precisely what Die Krupps had been doing all over the preceding eight age -- fundamentally, hearing to Metallica and other metallic element innovators. Both One and its 1992 follow-up Metal for the Masses Part II -- A Tribute to Metallica constitute the group's signature sound augmented by metallic element guitars, which enabled Die Krupps to bilk over to hard rock audiences spell soundless maintaining its electronic music fanbase.
1993's Die Krupps Box, a three-disc box arrange, preceded the same year's button of The Final Option, which constitute Engler and Dorper joined by ex-Heathen guitarist Lee Altus and drummer Darren Minter. In 1994, a remix album, titled The Final Mixes, featured contributions from artists like the Sisters of Mercy's Andrew Eldritch, Nitzer Ebb's Julian Beeston, Gunshot, and Jim Martin, erstwhile of Faith No More. A year by and by, Odyssey of the Mind constitute the chemical group moving fifty-fifty further from its electronic roots. Isolation, a accumulation of Odyssey of the Mind remixes and live tracks, appeared in 1996.
