Severin Tremel, a fan who attended one of the two Meet&Greet events in Berlin, had the chance to speak with Paul. Here's what he reports from his discussion with the guitarist (to be taken with a grain of salt, of course):

• The band wondered if they were going to put Ramm 4 (the song played as an intro to the 2016/2017 shows) on the Zeit album but in the end they didn't;
• There is a big documentary in preparation about the history of Rammstein, in 4 parts, which will be streamed online. Ramm 4 should be released at the same time (editor's note: the lyrics are a patchwork of old songs and therefore fit well with a documentary on the history of the band);
• The band is getting along great, they never thought of stopping. The songs on the Zeit album are based on past experiences and losses of people close to the band, including Adieu, which is not about the end of Rammstein.

The complete lyrics and translations of the album Zeit are now available on our website.

A big thank you to our translators, Emma Wolff for the French translation and LudicrousC for the English translation!

The third single from the album Zeit will be Dicke Titten. It will be released on July 8th in digital and CD formats, and on July 15th on 7" vinyl. More info, including visuals and tracklists, are available on our dedicated page.

The video will be available on Wednesday 25 May at 18:00 CET on YouTube:

The Europe Stadium Tour 2022 starts tonight in Prague! It's a tradition: before each tour starts, our "travel journal" is put online. This page allows you to follow the tour date by date, with information, setlists and photos.

For each concert, Rammstein will allow 10 members of the official LIFAD fanclub to participate in a Meet&Greet (a meeting with the band before the concert). You can register on the LIFAD forum.

Lastly, here is a PDF listing all the items offered by the official merchandising truck that will follow the band on each date.

Rammstein played a first rehearsal concert in Prague last night, in front of a few hundred fans. We were lucky enough to be there to see the 2022 version of the Europe Stadium Tour (and celebrate Christoph Schneider's birthday).

The album Zeit was a big hit in Germany, selling 160,000 copies in its first week on the market. On the singles side, Rammstein managed to get three songs into the top 20 at the same time, namely Zick Zack (seventh), Zeit (eighth) and Angst (twelfth).

In France, the SNEP (Syndicat National de l'Edition Phonographique) placed the album in the top of the week, with 18,851 sales equivalents (i.e. sales but also streaming).

As in 2019, the two French piano duos Duo Jatekok and Duo Abélard will be supporting Rammstein on the 2022 Stadium Tour. Check the infographic below to find out which dates each duo will be performing on.

Instragram stories, as well as castings gleaned from the web, allow us to confirm that one of the band's upcoming videos was shot in Paris on May 3rd and 4th. The video was directed by Specter Berlin (who directed Deutschland) and produced by Dissidence Production. The director of photography is Khalid Mohtaseb and the executive producer is Charles Portier.

The filming took place at the Opéra Garnier and then in a suburban studio.

There are still two videos to be released: the one shot in Paris, but also a video shot in Austria last September, presumably for the song Dicke Titten.

Since yesterday, information has been circulating about a 2023 tour by Rammstein. The article came from a webzine and was then picked up by many sites.

We can officially confirm that this information is false, including the concert list. Neither the LIFAD pre-sales nor box office openings will take place on the dates announced. If there is a tour, the only credible announcements will come from the band and the official ticketing networks.
