Rammstein are nominated for the "best international band" and "best song" (with Deutschland) at the Kerrang! Awards 2019. You can vote here: https://kerrang.com/vote.

The ceremony takes place on June 19 at a secret London location.

The six members of the band now each have their official Instagram profile:

• Till Lindemann : till_lindemann_official
• Richard Z. Kruspe : richard_von_rammstein
• Oliver Riedel : oliverriedel_official
• Christian Lorenz : christianlorenz_official
• Christoph Schneider : christophschneider_official
• Paul Landers : paullanders_official

Till and Richard's accounts are still being audited (to get the blue icon next to the name) but they are official.

Peter Tägtgren participated in a Q&A session on his Instagram. He revealed several pieces of information about Lindemann:

• Lindemann's second album should be out before the end of the year: Till and Peter have enough songs ;
• The album could contain songs that Till and Peter had written for the play Hänsel und Gretel (cf. news) ;
• The song Mathematik was written by Peter's son, Sebastian Tägtgren. The band then asked Ben Bazzazian to do a rap version of it, because they wanted to try something different. The original version should be on the second album ;
• Peter hopes there will be 3 or 4 videos for the next album ;
• The next video has already been shot (cf. news) by Zoran Bihać, who directed the other Lindemann videos ;
• A Lindemann tour could take place next year; it could go through Germany.

To our great surprise, the cover of the single Ausländer has been censored on our Facebook page. According to the American social network, the cover contains nudity and violates its rules.

In fact, all pages and groups about Rammstein have been subject to the same censorship in recent days. Worse, the page of the Polish fanclub Feuerräder has even been deleted by Facebook. An unfair sanction! A Facebook event has been created to support them. You can participate and share it. You can even write to info@support.facebook.com to request the return of the page. Instructions are available on the event.

An additional concert has been added in Tampere, Finland, on August 9, 2019, in addition to the show already scheduled for August 10th.

Tickets sales will start on June 5th at 8 a.m. CET at Rammstein.de.

We recently announced that Rammstein's new album is first of France's and Germany's charts. But that's not all, the album is a real international success!

In 8 countries, the album is in the top 5: Sweden, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Australia, Czech Republic, Latvia and Lithuania.

Last but not least, the new album is ranked 9^th in the United States. This is the first time Rammstein enters the top 10 of this country!

Tomorrow will be the first public concert of the 2019 stadium tour, at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen! As with every tour, we will keep an up-to-date travel journal.

The third single from the new album will be Ausländer. The single will be available in digital, CD and 10-inch vinyl editions. More information soon on the content and release date.

The video will be released on Rammstein's Youtube channel next Tuesday, May 28.

In Germany, this is the best start of an album this millennium with 260 000 copies (pure sales + equivalent streaming) sold in one week. The new album is Rammstein's tenth album (including compilations and live) to be #1 on the charts. The 11 songs on the album are in the Top 100; Deutschland (9^th), Zeig dich (13^th) and Ausländer (16^th) are the best placed.

In France, Rammstein is first of the Top Albums for the first time, with more than 25,000 copies in pure sales (physical purchase + digital purchase, but without streaming). If we add streaming to pure sales, Rammstein is also first in this country.

It should be noted that in both countries, the release of the new album is beneficial to old albums (often promoted by record stores for the occasion). In Germany, 8 Rammstein albums are in the Top 100; Rammstein: Paris (12th) and LIFAD (19th) are the best placed.
