Industrial discipline meets unrelenting force as one of the genre’s architects strikes again.
⚙️ A New Release Forged in Steel
Dependent has officially released “Will nicht – MUSS! / On Collision Course” by DIE KRUPPS, delivering a dual-track statement rooted in precision, power, and confrontation. This release reinforces the band’s legacy of merging mechanical rhythm with militant intent—no excess, no retreat.
🔥 Collision Is Inevitable
From the defiant German-language command of “Will nicht – MUSS!” to the forward-driving pressure of “On Collision Course,” DIE KRUPPS sound focused, hardened, and unapologetic. These tracks feel engineered for impact—march-ready electronics, rigid structure, and an undercurrent of resistance that refuses to yield.
