Album Review: Die Krupps ‘Als Wären Wir Für Immer’

Almost 15 years after Die Krupps disbanded, they’re back and bringing their first new material in the form of a mini album called ‘Als Wären Wir Für Immer’. Containing five new tracks and three remixes, Die Krupps brings back their industrial/EBM sound with intensity and ferocity. But does it stack up against what today has to offer? Check after the jump.

The album starts with ‘Beyond’, easily the “lightest” track on the album. Dynamically ranging from sparse instrumentation to thick, powerful patches during the chorus, ‘Beyond’ is a great way to ease into the album, as each track afterwards is definitely harder and heavier hitting. Still, ‘Beyond’ makes for a great introduction. If you’re not nodding your head along to the music by the end of the song, something is wrong.

The production is sparkling, but then again, these days it’s somewhat hard to not sound solid. Die Krupps manage to make the production stand out by mixing everything beautifully and making good use of panning. Most of the instrumentation is used as textures and ambient moments in the background of which there is a lot going on. It takes multiple listens to even begin to start to absorb all that is going on in the background. The instruments that are more in the forefront of the mix are thick, rich sounding pads and patches along with distorted, “wall of sound” guitars. The bass is thick but not muddy and never overwhelming, which is really necessary for an album in this genre.

The rest of the album consists of four originals and three remixes. The originals, like stated earlier, get edgier and heavier as the album progresses. The remixes are great reinterpretations that will easily make their way to the club soon enough.

The Final Word: Each track on ‘Als Wären Wir Für Immer’ would be perfect for a goth/industrial/EBM club as they all have a driving energy that just compels you to move. Haunting, ethereal and energetic, ‘Als Wären Wir Für Immer’ is a great return for Die Krupps.

After appearing in Rob Zombie’s music videos and movies over the years, Sheri Moon Zombie (The Devil’s Rejects) has now released her own debut single and music video, I Love My Robot. The video, which you can watch below, was directed by husband Rob Zombie.

The track playfully takes a jab at the use of Generative AI in the arts.

The official press release details, “Helmed by acclaimed producer Zeuss and accompanied by a video directed by Rob Zombie, the track blends retro sci-fi, playful camp, and infectious hooks into an irresistibly offbeat anthem that is unmistakably Sheri.

“Tongue-in-cheek and surprisingly timely, I Love My Robot offers a witty take on life in an increasingly algorithm-driven world. Beneath its infectious energy and B-movie charm, the song celebrates imagination, individuality, and the simple joy of thinking for yourself.

“It’s a playful reminder that while technology may make life easier, nothing can replace genuine creativity or human connection.”

A limited edition picture disc vinyl featuring “I Love My Robot” on Side A and Rob Zombie’s “Sir Lord Acid Wolfman” on Side B is now available for pre-order. Only 600 copies are being released worldwide, and it’ll be available on October 30, 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records.

Pre-order your copy now and listen to I Love My Robot on all your favorite platforms.
