DIE KRUPPS + special guests - “THE MACHINISTS OF JOY”-TOUR 2014

After several years of maintenance DIE KRUPPS greased the machines and shook off the dust to open their factory gates again. After shift operation was restored, the long-awaited new prototype „THE MACHINISTS OF JOY“ is just about to roll off the assembly line on 25.10.2013. With this most recent effort DIE KRUPPS seamlessly pick up the streak of their genre-defining releases in the 80s and 90s. Referring to their top-10-billboard-hit from 1989 "MACHINERIES OF JOY", the album title already hints at a stronger focus on electronic sounds, rather than guitars, which dominates the current outfit of DIE KRUPPS. However, resolute riffs have been worked into the songs very pointedly.

Eventually DIE KRUPPS still deliver „Metal MACHINE Music“ - heavy, danceable, sometimes epic machine-music, adorned with well-placed guitar attacks and the ever-onward hammering of the „steel-o-phone“, paired with critical contemporary lyrics, setting themselves off from the usual stuff that has become the norm today. From Mid-February 2014 the factory bell rings in the nightshift on European stages, to be known as „THE MACHINISTS OF JOY”-TOUR 2014. 12 dates have been scheduled on which DIE KRUPPS are going to present their first studio album of the new millennium in sweat-inducing manner!

Pre-sales start on 21.10.2013. Tickets are available online at www.protain-ticket.de, www.eventim.de and on all nationwide EVENTIM box-offices.
