RAMMSTEIN – To Resume Work On New Album

Earlier this year, guitar player Paul Landers said, “There’s a great chance of an excellent album. We already have six very good songs.” Meanwhile, guitarist Richard Kruspe revealed that the band had “35 songs almost finished.”

The new album will be the band’s first since 2009 (as such, don’t be surprised if it debuts in the Billboard Top 10.), though miraculously, the band’s lineup remains unchanged since their 1994 inception.

Stay tuned to the official Rammstein website for further updates on the new album.

Rammstein were formed in 1993 by an assembly of factory-weary proletarians raised in East Germany. They took their name (adding an “m”) from the location of a German tragedy where 80 people were hurt and killed as the result of a crash during an American Air Force flight show.

(The literal translation of “ram stein” is a battering ram made of stone.) Word of Rammstein’s horror/romanticist blend of theater and music — one-time Olympic swimmer Till Lindemann would sing entire songs engulfed in flame from head to toe — spread quickly. The band’s first album, Herzeleid (Heartache), built on the grounds created by the band’s live reputation. Scaling the German charts (and remaining there until the release of the second Rammstein LP some two years later), the album also introduced the band to the world outside of the Germany/Switzerland/Austria region. As Rammstein’s second album, Sehnsucht (Longing), was released, the band was headlining throughout Europe to crowds of 10,000 to 30,000 people. Sehnsucht entered the German charts at number one immediately upon its release and came very close to doing the same in Austria and Switzerland.
