The 1996 release Willenskraft introduced industrial elements, and the special bonus CD of the album's special edition (Kraft Und Wille) included even electronic remixes of the songs. The later releases saw original metal in decline: the following release Werk 80 featured versions of 1980s disco hits, and the band had no apparent direction for the following few years: the odd mcd-releases and experimental songs like Lili Marlene-covers (featured on Gemini) banished most of the fans.
