Rock Hard France will release on March 26 a special issue "Rammstein: The Archive" with no less than 15 Rammstein interviews with Richard, Till, Ollie and Christoph (conducted in 1997, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2009), as well as with director Jonas Åkerlund (2017) and producer Jacob Hellner (2020).

It will also features live reports, never-before-seen photos and dossiers.

This special issue can already be ordered on the Rock Hard online shop.

Olaf Heine, one of Rammstein's most emblematic photographers, will release a book entirely dedicated to the band on October 14, 2021. 364 pages will retrace 25 years of collaboration and will allow us to contemplate photographs for the most part unpublished.

As massive and spectacular as the band itself, this celebration of all things Rammstein features the impeccable work of German photographer Olaf Heine.

Arguably the most exciting live musical act in the world, Rammstein has been playing together for more than 25 years-- and Olaf Heine has been photographing them every step of the way. This massive and gorgeously produced celebration of the band features exquisite, mostly unseen images from every aspect of their decades-long history. There are, of course, dozens of concert shots featuring fireballs and fire- consuming costumes in enormous arenas packed to the gills with ramped-up fans. But Heine also ventures beyond the stage with individual portraits of the band, stripped of stage makeup and machinery; domestic scenes from their native Germany, and intimate glimpses inside the recording studio. One of the world's most sought-after photographers, Olaf Heine also creates masterful still-lifes and landscapes that give context and contour to the band's hard-living image. Fans will pore over close-ups of the complexly constructed costumes, outré stage props, and other artifacts that can't be appreciated from the stadium floor. Rounding out the volume are texts from the band members themselves. The book that millions of fans have been waiting for, this love letter delivers--in true Rammstein fashion--all they could want, and more.

In an interview with Motor.de, Flake said that the lockdown, although it deprived Rammstein of a tour, had a positive effect on the band:

By not being able to perform live, our creativity increased. We had more time to think of new things and less distractions. As a result, we made a record that we hadn't planned.

Even though we know that Rammstein already had their eighth album in the corner of their head, the COVID-19 crisis probably accelerated its recording. Flake also discussed the band's sources of inspiration:

Our themes are generally taken from daily life and world events, and there's always something happening. Our theme is basically the craziness of people, and it's not much different in Corona times than in normal times. Donald Trump was very present last year, you could take a lot of traits from that and from people in general, how they behaved in the lockdown. So the sources of inspiration are actually always there. Most of the things you deal with happen in your own head anyway. Only small impulses come from outside, and enough comes through when the streets are only half as full.

After the difficult year that we have all been through, Rammstein World wishes all Rammstein fans an excellent year 2021!

Our little finger tells us that we should get our hands on the band's eighth album, recorded at La Fabrique studios last September. And who knows, maybe we'll be able to attend some concerts…
