Als wären wir für immer is an EP by German Industrial/EBM band Die Krupps. It was released on 3 December 2010 through German record label Synthetic Symphony. The EP was released in a CD format.[1][2]

Background

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]
