While the band still works on the fine-tuning of the upcoming album, preparations for the release of the first single are at full speed. We are happy to introduce the cover of “VERBOT” to you. The first single from the upcoming Rammstein-Album, still to be named, will be released on 8. May 2009. The video for “VERBOT” was partially shot in Sonoma, California, and the post-production will take place next month in Berlin.

Please be advised that this news is unconfirmed yet and probably fake as well. No official information received.

UPDATE: Well, a little more info has come out about the email sent to The Gauntlet that makes it more likely that the news of a new single named Verbot is indeed a hoax.

Hello folks, it is now a longer time without any news, it is Christmas time and nobody is interested in Rammstein (at least it seems to me like this because this site has now 30 % less visitors). But there is something new now. On Richard Kruspe’s homepage a news appeared:

The first and most important chapter of the new rammstein record is complete. 7 weeks of recording drums, guitars and most of the vocals left me with a taste of pride after my return to new york. I wish you all a happy christmas and a great new year. Take some time out and spend it wisely. Thanks everyone for the great support . Richard Z. K.

OK, the most important chapter is done and we are still waiting for the first single from the upcoming album!

UPDATE:

There is also an official news on Rammstein.de saying that the first part of the recordings was after 7 weeks of intensive work ended on 21DEC08. Drums, guitars, bass, and the vocal tracks are now recorded. Musicians and producers have now the holiday. Until the next section, we wish all parties and all Rammstein fans out there, a Merry Christmas and a long-lasting and exuberant slip into the new year.

OK, and Rammstein Europe wishes also Marry Christmas and Happy New Year to all fans out there. Stay tuned!

We have finally some official info about the release date of the upcoming Rammstein album. All registered fans received an email recently saying following:

While Rammstein are recording their newest studio album in sunny California, the first snow has fallen today in Berlin. You have sent us a lot of questions since news reached you via the Rammstein website about the recordings for the new album. Many rumours have flooded the internet since then. The production of the album will take some time and a release isn’t planned before autumn 2009. If everything goes according to plan, we’ll hear the first single before summer 2009 and be able to greet Rammstein at the beginning of their tour before the end of the year. This tour, which is to stretch far into the year 2010, will finally give you enough of a chance to see the band live again after the long period of waiting. Above all, there are some surprises in store for our loyal fans and Community members in the 2009/2010 tour year.

That means almost one more year of waiting for the album and half a year for the new single. Stay tuned friends!

Finally we have some new information from the official source. On website Rammstein.com there is now following text available:

Now that the band has finished pre-production in Berlin for its new album, Operation “Album 6″ is going forward full steam ahead. Christoph Schneider arrived in Los Angeles last week to meet with Jacob Hellner and production team (i.e., currently Ulf Kruckenberg and Florian Ammon) to undertake preparations for recording of all the drum tracks. Also to arrive in L.A. this week for the drum sessions, Paul and Richard. Finally, a studio has been rented near San Francisco for the bulk of the main recording work, and the band will go into retreat there for several weeks starting on November 9th, 2008.

Sonor is proud to announce that from now Christoph Schneider uses exclusive Sonor Drums and hardware!

Christopher is most probably known as a drummer of Rammstein, the internationally most successful German band, according to the “Billboard Magazine”. With countless awards and millions of records sold Rammstein have continued with more than 400 concerts in over 35 countries worldwide. Christopher is a founding member, the band was created in 1994.

His first contact with Sonor was already when he was a child, when he sat behind the drums. At the time he fell after extensive tests with the “Giant Step” series bass drum pedals in “love”.

In September, Christopher went on his way to Auchinleck-Aue to manufacture it, and finally, of course, also extensively test it in various tests.

His choice was very fast on the “Delite” series from North American maple. To decorate two 22×17.5 “bass drum, 10×7″ and 12×8 “Tom Toms, 16×16″ and 18×16 “floor toms his setup. In addition to a matching 12×5 “Side Snare from the” Delite “series, he also uses the bronze-(AS 07 1406 BRB) and Cottonwood Maple model (AS 07 1406 CM) from the” Artist “series. Completes the set with stands from the 600 series, a GDPR 3 Double Pedal from the Giant Step Series, as well as various basic arm system accessories such as an X-hat holder.

Interview: “Oomph!” guitarist Flux talks about the evolution of his band and the other goals. He also said something about Rammstein.

Flux - Oomph

Question: People always say, you are the original and Rammstein the copy. What do you think about such statements?

Flux: In the music history is it so that we founded our group 20 years ago, and Rammstein just the mid-1990s. They were with us at the concerts and had their first demos we delivered. They call us nicely in interviews again and again as the influence and sources of inspiration. However, Rammstein then went their way and we ours further. Rammstein play with stereotypes, which we would never do. If we do these sterotypes, we could not see our face in the mirror next morning.

Question: What awaits the visitor at your concert tour?

Flux: Our show focuses primarily on us as personalities. If you have expected a fire show like Rammstein, you are wrong. We do not want such distracting elements in our music. Of course we will play many songs from the new album, but also many older stuff, so a colorful cross-section of our creation. It will be a big party, Dena goes into the audience to work with people.
