The Deutsche Welle broadcasted a video "Why is Rammstein so controversial?" It includes an excerpt from the making of "Dicke Ditten", which has not yet been released by the band.

Till celebrates its 60th birthday! Happy birthday to the boss!

On this occasion, Flake wrote a text for Till in the newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung. The access is not free (with the possibility to create a free trial account), but you can find the English translation on our website.

A statue of Till (we won't discuss the resemblance of the face…) had been erected yesterday in Rostock in Germany, but... it was stolen this morning!

2022 was one of the most prolific years in the history of Rammstein! Between the release of the Zeit album, the five singles and videos that accompanied it, and the tours in Europe and North America, we were spoiled.

What does 2023 hold for us? For now, only the Europe stadium tour has been made official. As for rumors, the tour could be extended to South America in the fall. Rammstein also still has a documentary in the pipeline, as well as the live shows shot in Vienna in 2019 and Mexico City in 2022.

Anyway, Rammstein World wishes you the best of years for you and your loved ones.

Flake was recently interviewed by Japanese media outlet "AVE | Corner Printing". The interview is mostly about his latest book, but Flake did slip in a word about the 2023 tour, explaining that the stage will be the same as 2022, but that the band will change the setlist:

I'm going on tour starting in May of next year. It will be the same stage as this year, but we will add new songs. We're supposed to discuss it [with the band] next week (the interview is from Dec. 12).

Zeit is the first Rammstein album to be mixed in Dolby Atmos, a three dimensional surround sound format. The result can be heard on Apple Music, with compatible hardware. Headliner Magazine has conducted an interview with Svante Forsbäck, responsible for mixing and mastering the album in Dolby Atmos.

Svante explains his approach, the difference with a classic mix, or how he approaches the masteuring for streaming platforms.

It still sounds like Rammstein, but just bigger and of course with that band, bigger is always better.

Zeit album is now gold-certified in France ! The album reached 50,000 sales equivalents (streaming + legal downloads + physical purchases). To convert streaming into album sales, you add streaming volumes of all the tracks of the album (the most listened track is divided by 2) and you divide these volumes by 1500.

In Germany, Zeit is by far the album of the year! It sold 340,000 units (160,000 in the first week) and was certified triple gold. It stayed five weeks at the top of the German charts and 19 weeks in the top 10, a record for 2022.

24 hours after the release of the video for Adieu, we want to bring you all the information about this complex and full of references video.

Two members of our forum had the chance to be extras on the video, and wrote you a feedback! It's in French, sorry, but you can use tools like Google Translate or DeepL.

You can discover it all on our page dedicated to the video Adieu!

The video for Adieu will have its premiere on Youtube on Thursday, November 24 at 5pm CET.

The video was shot last May at the Opéra Garnier in Paris and in a studio in the suburbs of Paris, by Specter Berlin, director of Deutschland, as we reported at the time.

In an interview with TPi Magazine, Sky van Hoff explains how he sets up Richard Kruspe's sound on the Stadium tour. In particular, he uses Avid S6L software and over 320 snapshots to vary the mix throughout the show!

The fifth single from the album Zeit will be Adieu! It will be released as CD, 10-inch vinyl and on digital platforms on November 25th. The tracklist is available on our dedicated page. You can find pre-order links below:
