V - Metal Machine Music is the ninth album by German Industrial/EBM band Die Krupps. The album was released on 28 August 2015 as digital download and double CD as well as limited bundles.

The album sees the band returning "to a distinctly guitar-heavy sound".[8] The album derives its name from one of the band's earlier tracks 'Metal Machine Music', a single off the Album 'I'.

"Die Verdammten" is a guitar enriched rework of the Tour Intro the band had used on their 2011 and 2014 tours. "The Vampire Strikes Back" is a rework of a song previously released on a Wing Commander OST album in 1998, thus being the band's last song recorded prior to its temporary breakup. Alive In A Glass Cage, Road Rage Warrior and Volle Kraft Voraus are also older songs that were re-recorded. "The Red Line" was first released in an alternate version in 2014 as a B-Side to the "Robo Sapien" single...
