Apologies for the downtime! Apparently you guys are overloading things again. You really should cut that out. The forums will return soon(ish).

Update (June 9): They are back online!

May 18, 2009

The official site has published tour dates for 2009! They will be playing in Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Denmark, and of course Germany. Interestingly, tickets for German shows will be available on Rammsteinshop.de (and presumably on rammsteinshop.com) only.

Not much news at the moment aside from what the official site posts, I'm afraid. Hopefully that will change in the coming months as the album gets closer to being finished!

In any case, Rammstein has finished the first part of their recordings for the new album. Mixing is set to begin around the middle of March and will take from six to eight weeks. Apparently the band has consulted orchestra arranger Sven Helbig for the new album as they are considering using strings and choirs (surprise!).

Thanks to: Rammstein.com.

Check out Rammstein.com for a clip of Schneider recording drums for the new album. You can even hear some music and vocals in the background!

After months of silence, the band has begun to surface! They have finished the preproduction of their sixth studio album in Berlin and are now gearing up to fly to meet in San Francisco where the band has rented a studio that they will be working in starting this Sunday. In fact, Schneider is already in Los Angeles to begin preparations for the drum tracks. They are working with producer Jacob Hellner (who has produced all of their albums so far) and his team, which currently includes Ulf Kruckenberg (who has worked with Clawfinger, Apocalyptica Emigrate, etc.) and Florian Ammon (Eminem, Elton John, Lifehouse, many more). Paul and Richard are set to fly there this week and I assume the rest will follow soon as they sequester themselves for the coming weeks.

By the way, no, the site hasn't been abandoned. There just hasn't been anything going on that was worth mentioning!

For the fourteenth MTV Europe Music Awards, Rammstein have been nominated for an award in the category "Best German Act". This alone is nothing new, however Rammstein will have some stiff competition coming from their own ranks — Emigrate is nominated as well! You can vote online and decide which of the acts is more deserving. The awards show will take place on November 1, 2007 in Munich.

Thanks to: Alexander.

On August 2 at 11:05 pm, MTV Germany will premiere the video to Emigrate's song "My World" on their show Brand:Neu. This is tomorrow so it is somewhat short notice, but if you are in Germany, tune in and check it out!

In addition to the video, "My World" will be featured on the soundtrack to the third and final Resident Evil movie, Resident Evil: Extinction. The soundtracks to the previous two movies contained "Halleluja" and "Mein Teil" from Rammstein, respectively.

He will be there to discuss his new band, Emigrate, whose album is going to be released on August 31, 2007. You can listen in live on the BBC's website.

Update: Time fixed.

July 22, 2007

You can now preorder the debut album of Richard's new project, Emigrate. The CD is available in a normal and limited edition. The cover and preview tracks can be seen over at Musicnonstop.co.uk!

July 22, 2007

The official site has now posted a reponse as to whether Till is leaving the band:

Since the rumour did alarm people that Till Lindemann would leave Rammstein after the release of the upcoming album, we are pleased to inform you that after consulting Rammstein manager Emanuel Fialik, the so-called news turns out being a fake.

"Neither Till Lindemann nor another band member plans to leave Rammstein. The band is currently working on the next album and is in an excellent mood. As the greed for news is the actual doping in cycling, this 'news' is only serving those who spread the same. Though the world knows now that EnEsch has moved to Berlin, even the poor EnEsch was shocked by the outlook to have to step into Till Lindemanns footsteps. I hope he and the fans of the band will recover soon from this false report."

Of course, none of you really believed the rumor. Right? ;)
