The Machinists of Joy is the eighth studio album by German Industrial/EBM band Die Krupps. The album was released on 25 October 2013 in four formats: normal digipak CD, limited two-CD digipak, a fan box and as a limited LP/CD combo. It was released though German record label Synthetic Symphony. The album is a tribute to the band's past. It harkens back to the Düsseldorf Punk scene before their first release Stahlwerksynfonie, abandoning the metal sound of their 90s work. The album derives its name from one of the band's earlier tracks 'Machineries of Joy', a cover of Wahre Arbeit Wahrer Lohn done by Ralf Dörper and Nitzer Ebb in 1989. The album includes collaboration with Métal Urbain and Dernière Volonté. Its album cover is a homage to the album Metal Machine Music.
