Rammstein's new Album

[The Chaser]

He only said he thinks it would be the last studio album, not the end of the band

LIFAD was released in 2009, next album will be released if we are lucky in 2018, after nine years ... If we have to wait another 10 years, maybe he is right.

But today Rammstein is working in new songs, so we should be really happy.

Just because between LIFAD and the upcoming album there will be 9 years (assuming that they will release it in 2018), it doesn't mean that we have to wait another decade for the album nr.8. A few leftovers and in 2020 or 2021 we might get another album. There are no time patterns in their releasing policy. Everything is rather unpredictable.

That is a recipe for another rosenrot.

Even as Lifad came out I thought their next one was going to be the last studio record, which has nothing to do with feeling but just with the production time and the touring afterwards that necessarily takes so much time now that they've grown so big and the industry - as well as personal interests - slow things up. But I do think both solo projects (Till's and Richard's) will also release something. And I think there's a big chance that in some way some Rammstein left over material will see the light of day as well (a single, soundtrack, new song on a B-side of an album single, new track on a re-edition, etc.).

Of course is unpredictable, but Richard wants to tour, we can see it each year, for him going to studio with Rammstein is a nightmare . For the new album probably they'll tour and rest, tour and rest, ..... and this time it will be a huge one (At least two years, probably more). After that, they´ll probably stop between two and three years, if we are lucky the new one will begin then. Except If they have leftovers that they like and then you are right and we'll have a new album in 2020 or 2021.

It's funny that we are dicussing it, when we hadn't the release date for the new one. I hope we'll have it in 2018 and don't have to wait until 2019. Crossing fingers.

I think we've had plenty of hints in interviews that the new cd will be out 2018. Unless they really surprise us, and release it in time for the X-mas sale, but I don't believe that.

[Snake]

I wouldn't be surprised if we had to wait until 2019.

[Art in Heaven]

I no longer care if they release another album or not. The Paris DVD fiasco was the last straw. They have wasted enough of my time.

This was my point

The sad thing is the band thought the same about the film but they decide to trust Jonas.

[Waidmann]

I will always care about a new album. I will never buy the crap of "they owe it to the fans" or so. They had very good reasons for taking the time they did, whether they personal or just a way to keep the band together (where other bands would've decided to go on without certain members and would we applaud that for Rammstein to happen?)... More than not the industry, label issues, production processes and contracts to commit had a bigger impact than personal life or interests. And still... you can say we were quite spoiled in the beginning with 5 albums in 11 years, even added with 2 DVD's (and Völkerball in their 12th year).

I have absolutely no problem with the band taking all the time they need to produce a new album. If they need 20 years to create new material, then by all means, take 20 years and fuck everybody else.

What I do have a problem with, is with the fact that *every single* release they put out between LIFAD and the next album has been mediocre at best (perhaps with the exception of the videoclip for Haifsch). Their only saving grace has been the tours. I honestly believe that if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't give a fuck about them anymore.

I will also have a problem if the next album is a fiasco in spite of the band taking all the time they needed to produce it. And the bar I am setting isn't even if I personally enjoy the next album. It is about wether or not they actually put thought, effort, and creativity into it, and are willing to take another chance like they took with Reise, Reise.

[Waidmann]

^Although I of course do not agree with you calling their releases mediocre, I do applaud the fact that you point out the greatness of the Haifisch-clip. I was well received overall, but for me it's in many ways every bit as epic as the Mutter album videos.

[Der kalte Mond]

News/inteview mention; Peter Tägtgren hypothesises that "Once they're done with their upcoming record, they're going to need to tour for a year or two."!

On a side note I honestly loved their releases - Mein Land is really catchy great energy brilliant vocals, the clip is fun, and I love Vergiss uns nicht, it has a wonderfully stirring chorus. And I definitely did not hate Paris, a lot of the shots nicely emphasised the unity of the band. I will say in the cinema the speed felt overwhelming, but rewatching many times at home I grew to really love it; I thought it was a very effective visualization of the rhythm of the songs and hence added a lot to the music. But I think it's necessary to have it on DVD to be able to admire it - in cinema one views the speed as an impediment that conceals the cinematography (what did I miss, it flew by too fast) whereas at home you can pause so that concern isn't there anyone so it becomes instead a part of the cinematography, and so you can truly appreciate the artistic vision and brilliance - it's not really a concert film in the conventional sense but trying something different and I appreciate it as a concept.

[The Rose]

Welcome Der kalte Mond. mow we're two that likes Paris, and I agree with you, it gets better when you see it again.

[MonsieurSander]

I really like Paris, even the fast editing. I would just love a non-cgi version one day, to remove the shitty lightning on du hast.

[Art in Heaven]

- it's not really a concert film in the conventional sense .

I agree. It's a pop video.
