What's next?

[The Rose]

The single for X-mas, and the album early Spring? That's my guess.

[Waidmann]

^That would be my guess too. As the songs seem to be finished already, and Schneider starts spreading (news about) a song, I guess it won't take too long for a single to see the light of day.

My guess is at the beginning of next year, Christmas is around the corner

I cannot link to the interview, the page keeps timing out

^The previous rumors seem to be true. Now let's hope the tour can actually happen next year.

According to the spanish newspaper Heraldo, Rammstein will include a cover of "Ente dos Tierras" by Heroes del Silencio on their new album. The original writers of the band were pleased with the result. I am really curious for the result, the lyrics are a lot more complicated and fast paced than "Te Quiero Puta", so I wonder how Till will sing it.

[Maya]

So he finally did it, remember this interview? https://www.rammsteinpress.com/2015/...ill-lindemann/

We saw a video training while listening to the song and a video with Till singing it in an aftershow, a dream for me.

Word is that it was meant to be on a previous record alreay, but they let it out because Till couldn't quite pronounce everything in the right (or at least acceptable) way. I guess he has practiced.

I have read it, but I’m surprised because many fans said that in aftershows they have talked with him in Spanish and he spoke it very well.

[Waidmann]

^Maybe it's self-criticism . I think his english is good as well (he can do interviews without any translations and his grammar sounds absolutely fine), but to sing, I guess many people would say he's not that capable... I would say he is though, but you can read the criticism all over the web. If he reads that, I think he might be less eager to try out a spanish song.

And maybe it's just the language. For Dutch and german speakers it's ok to speak spanish, portuguese and italian at a slow pace, but it's extremely hard to catch up with the speed of native speakers. Which is quite imperative while singing a cover, unless they'd reduce the speed. I think the pace in roman languages sometimes reaches up to 5 syllables per second, which is very unlike the germanic languages (with a pace of 2-3 syllables per second). I can speak some italian, and understand every word of many songs, but to be able to sing it at their speed ... I always have to leave some syllables out.

[The Rose]

Didn't he have the same problem with the Depeche Mode song Stripped, they had to leave out som phrases, because he couldn't "wrap his tongue around them".
I have the same problem with some English words, I cannot pronounce them, so I always find synonyms,and I think I normally speak a pretty good English.

[Maya]

Waidmann That’s really interesting, the speed of languages, never thought about it.

The Rose It’s true, he had the same problem with Stripped, but now his English is better and probably his Spanish too (since Te quiero puta); for me there are some words very difficult to pronounce too.

I’m nervous about the final result. I’m an héroes del silencio fan, so when I first read the interview I began to dream.

[Waidmann]

New interviews are not too promising :/ . Corona goes well in Belgium, and all things will be allowed again soon, but Germany seems and the rest of Europe seem more careful in their actions.

For those who missed the interview with Sven Helbig in german with Saechsiche:

German composer Sven Helbig, who arranges the orchestral parts for Rammstein, talked about what is happening with the new Rammstein album and the upcoming tour.

When will the new album come out?
- The band does not yet know.
The reason is trivial: lack of paper. They should be able to send a large number of CDs and records, that is, many booklets and covers, all over the world at one time.
And this is probably unrealistic now.

- For the group, this 'corona break' is very annoying.
The six of them don't know when the album will come out, they don't know if the tour will take place this year.
They want to move forward, they want to play, but instead, like almost all musicians, they sit around twiddling their thumbs and waiting for decisions to finally be made.

Will you reveal some details?
- It's all a secret, and it's impossible, because the band often abandons songs at the last moment, changes them. Till does not want to rewrite the text, and Richard considers it stupid. Or the guitarists can't agree on a riff. Finally, the song comes out. As for previous albums, I often looked forward to something I heard and thought it was great.

[The Rose]

All restrictions have been lifted in Denmark and Sweden and they're easing in the Czech Republic and I think will be too in most of Europe soon, so I can see the European tour happen, but again you never know. Fingers crossed.
I've heard about the paper-shortage in relation to books, so why not in cd's, strange as it sound.
