RAMMSTEIN Announce New Album: Release First Single “Deutschland”
German Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein have announced that they will be releasing a new album on May 17. The self-titled album is the follow-up to 2009’s Liebe Ist Für Alle Da and features the song “Deutschland”, which has been released as the album’s first single. The video for the song can be seen below.
Rammstein guitarist Richard Kruspe appeared on Metal Wani to discuss the new album, saying, “Well, when I thought to do another Rammstein record, I was like, ‘No, I’m going to do that. I’m not going through more suffering,'” he said. “That was four years ago. But what we did in the beginning is we said ‘Let’s get together and try to come up with three or four songs.’ We didn’t really put any pressure on us, which was very important at this time. While we were starting to rehearse and stuff and getting ideas, I thought, ‘Wow, it’s actually very good. Things have changed.’ All of a sudden, there’s a certain kind of respect that I always missed a little bit. We just had good chemistry, which reminded me of the first time when we started. Then I felt, like, ‘What would interest me on a new Rammstein record?’ I thought, ‘Every time people talk Rammstein, it’s about fire. It’s all about the show.’ Nobody talks about the music anymore for Rammstein, and it kind of bothered me. I was thinking, ‘I want to do another record. It has to be musical in a way that can really stand out from other records.’ That was my goal, or our goal.” [Source]
Pre-orders are already open via the band’s website.
