After the release of the heavily metal-influenced album Paradise Now in 1997, the band disbanded.

	Die Krupps (1359 words) Formerly a 3-piece, Die Krupps made a bold move in 1993 by adding former Heathen guitarist Lee Altus and drummer Darren Minter, giving their sound a fuller, more metallic edge. We used to use the old Krupps factory logo, which was three rings, and because of legal reasons, we decided to alter it a little bit and put the triangle around it. Krupps is one of the biggest steel factories here in Europe and it's a German company and they used to build weapons for the second world war.
