The very recent interview with Paul Landers revealed the big secret: next video (and probably single as well) will be Heifisch.

An Interview with Paul Landers of Rammstein, Posted: Thursday, December 24, 2009, By: Donnie Beach

Are there future plans to make other videos from the album, or will you be too busy with the tour in the coming months to work on that?

Landers:

There are two more videos already in the works. ‘Ich Tuh Dir Weh’ was shot last week by the band, and it’s a straight performance video that we shot on our new stage. The other video will be for ‘Haifisch,’ and it’s going to be a classic Rammstein video with a story behind it, but I’d rather not give any more details and let you be surprised by it. The band will also be touring Europe soon, and in fall of 2010, we hope to be in North America.

Best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year from Affenknecht.com!

As the holiday season approaches, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued interest in Rammstein and this webpage.

May your holiday season and the new year be filled with much joy, happiness and success. We look forward to seeing you here in the coming year and hope our web continues for many years.

Affenknecht team

As you already know, this webpage has not really a great logo. Since we can not use the Rammstein logo and the word “Rammstein” at all in the logo, we are still looking for some suitable Affenknecht logo. Few months ago, people started to upload their submission and we are close to start the final voting. Before I choose the best uploads for the finall voting, let me stimulate you a bit.

If your design will be chosen as a new Affenknecht logo, you’ll win the single Ich tu dir weh, which will be released in January. Isn’t it great?

You can upload your designs to forum (this thread).

Timetable:

on or around December 25th, 2009 the thread will be closed and only the best submission will proceed to the final voting.

few days later, the best one will be chosen (not necessarily the one which won the poll – this would be just a recommendation for me) and the graphic will be reworked on this page.

When the single is released, the winner will get it for free. All question on forum, please.

As you may already know, the very new video has been released today. We brought you some links of interest:

Watch the video here, see your video page here, videography updated, discuss on forums or just read the translated lyric.

The single will be available in January.

North America in 2010? Not a dream anymore. Rammstein will play in Quebec, Canada at the Quebec City Summer Festival. Apart from that they will also play in Spain at the Bilbao BBK live fest.

No more kidding, the video will be available tomorrow, On December 21st, 2009 at 1pm CET (7am EST)

The address you should check is visit-x/rammstein. I remember last time, when Pussy was to be released, we were able to see the video about 30 minutes before the clock expired.

As you already know from our news, Flake was replaced by Alf Ator. The reason was that Flake had some health problems, probably a throat infection. Now it seems Rammstein keyboardist are somehow cursed. On the way to Rostock concert, Alf Ator had an accident and totaled his car on the highway. The good news is, that Alf is unhurt, only his BMW is “scratched a bit”. Please change the tires already, winter is coming!

Please note that Rammstein keyboardist, Flake, was not at tonight’s show in Copenhagen, Denmark. At the start of the show, frontman Till Lindemann made the announcement “Ladies and Gentlemen, Due to a severe infection, our keyboard player Flake Lorenz was taken yesterday to the hospital. We did not want to cancel this concert and have brought in a substitute; a warm round of applause for Alf Atorthat (Knorkator keyboardist).”

It is unclear at this time how many more shows Flake might miss due to his illness, but he is reportedly already out and doing better. People in attendance have confirmed that the band didn’t walk Alf like a dog or make him use the treadmill.
