In 2004, guitarists Christian Bröhenhorst and Jonathan Stenger had the idea to create a band when they were studying at Hildesheim and in late 2004, singer Britta Görtz joined.
In 2006 the band released their first EP titled Killer Escort Service and in the same year Cripper played at Metaldays in Slovenia.
Next year, in 2007, the band released their debut studio album, named Freak Inside, mastered by musician Andy Classen from Holy Moses.
In 2009 Cripper released their second studio album called Devil Reveals, was present at Wacken Open Air 2009 and in spring 2010 supported Overkill on their Killfest-Tour through Europe.
This time bassist Bastian Helwig left the band and was finally replaced by Gerrit Mohrmann.
