Background
edit
Although the band had released new material soon after their reunion in 2005, the EP is advertised as the first Die Krupps recording with new songs in 13 years.[3] The original plan was for the release to be a single titled "Beyond". The track Dr. Mabuse made its first appearance in 1984 as single from the album A Secret Wish of Ralf Dörper's former band Propaganda .[4]
