Die Krupps has marked their 45th anniversary with a double A-side EP titled Will Nicht – MUSS! / On Collision Course, launching it exclusively during their anniversary tour starting August 27 in Belgium. Featuring contributions from notable artists like Jürgen Engler and members of MINISTRY, the EP offers a glimpse into their evolving sound and is paired with a visualizer. Band members highlight the significance of signing with Dependent Records, celebrating a full-circle moment since their collaboration with Front Line Assembly in the ’90s. The tour will span cities across Europe until September 28, with multiple supporting acts.
