It has been announced that after Rammstein finishes up their newest album, Till Lindemann is said to leave the band. He is going to be replaced by En Esch, formerly of KMFDM. Here is a music news article that mentions his leaving. You can read more information at Laut.de (in German)

“Please welcome the talented En Esch “” Till’s footsteps are big, but maybe he can dry our tears rapidly.”

RAMMSTEIN Parts Ways With Singer, Announces Replacement – July 16, 2007

Emanuel Fialik of Pilgrim Management GmbH, which represents German industrial metal pioneers RAMMSTEIN, has issued the following press release:

“On the 13th of July 2007 the industrial gothic top act RAMMSTEIN announces that after the release of the next studio album, which is about to get finished, the current singer and frontman Till Lindemann will leave the band.

“Till’s decision is mainly based on the increasing inharmoniousness within the band and was well deliberated. He will head now for other challenges which can be a solo career or maybe a new project (as of his own words).

“The band decided not to quit but announce a new singer. There is a clear statement coming from Richard Kruspe and Christoph Schneider that ‘nobody ever can replace Till Lindemann’ but since ‘we have still so much fun doing RAMMSTEIN we looked for a new singer which is charismatic in his own way without copying Till.’

“The new singer which was found and signed to be the new RAMMSTEIN frontman is the co-founder and ex-member of the electro industrial act KMFDM and current singer of SLICK IDIOT “” En Esch “” who recently moved to Berlin to join the band.

“We all will miss Till Lindemann who gave us many years of joy by listening to his unique grinding voice. Please welcome the talented En Esch “” Till’s footsteps are big, but maybe he can dry our tears rapidly.”

RAMMSTEIN will issue its “Völkerball” DVD in the U.S. in September. The exact release date will be announced soon.

RAMMSTEIN’s latest album, “Rosenrot”, received its long-overdue U.S. release in March 2006 via Universal Music. The CD, which was certified platinum in Germany for sales in excess of 200,000 copies within two weeks of release in October 2005, topped the official album chart in Germany, Austria and Finland, and landed at No. 2 in Sweden and Denmark, No. 4 in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic, No. 5 in France, No. 6 in Mexico, No. 11 in Italy and No. 29 in the U.K. In addition, “Rosenrot” achieved gold status in Austria, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.

This information has not been officialy confirmed.

    IT’S NEWS TO ME.

    SINCE I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY MANY FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES ABOUT THE NEWS THAT I’M THE NEW SINGER OF RAMMSTEIN I THINK I NEED TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT. ALTHOUGH IT SOUNDS INTERESTING, IT IS NOT TRUE.

    I’M WORKING ON NEW SLICK IDIOT MATERIAL AND AM IN THE MIDST OF MIXING TRACKS FOR MONA MUR.

    RAMMSTEIN AND I ARE AND WILL STAY FRIENDS AND I WISH THEM THE BEST IN THEIR FUTURE ENDEAVOURS.

    HOPE YOU’RE ALL HAVING A GREAT SUMMER,

    LATER,
    ESCH

    It seems to be a complete hoax. Utterly untrue!

    Please post this on the top page! Schnell!!

    I guess this is just something that shows us how much we appreciate that fire-breathing-dragon-of-a-man-we-call-Till-Lindemann.

    Ahah, I posted this in the forums here. So guess what everyone, this hoax has been busted!

  4. Matt can I use your .357? I will be needing it if this becomes official.

    Thanks, your freind

    Jennifer.

    P.S I'm crying again.

  7. When I saw this a few hours ago I creid, I don't know how long I creid, but I did, I am still hysatical, I still am crying a little, Finally I find the one thing that makes me have a desire to live, somthing that makes me look forward to each day, and now it's going away? "Ohne dich kann ich nich sein" FUCK!!! i can't beleive this. PLEASE GOD, or who ever is out there, let this be a terrible rumor…Oh please PLEASE GOD!!!!! As Richard said. There is only one consilation that makes Rammstein, nothing else will work. I fucking love them, I am so devisated.

  8. No….I haven’t…The till thing is a rumor I learned. Rammstein has no idea how this started, it HAS to be a rumor…

  9. You know… has anyone here heard the Sonne Instrumental… god I fucking flinch when that comes up on my play list now!

  10. “OHNE DICH KANN ICH NICHT SEIN!!!!!” GOD DAMN!!!! FUCK!!!! FUUUUUCCCCKKKKK!!!!!!!! I FUCKING HATE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL end if RAMMSTEIN does!!!!!!!!!!! Bullet? Nuse? I’m going over my options now.

  12. So guys, it is 90% certain that all of this is fake. Especially the fact that Richard is said to have been in a forum contesting to the fact that Till is still there.

    I think we are all safe on this round.

  14. Luckily for us, herzeleid.com just proved this to be bullshit since the original article was just pulled from blabbermouth.com. That was the place it originally came from, and that is where all the sources were also getting the information.

    God damn, this makes me realize how fucking much we should appreciate Till more, even if we think we already appreciate him enough.

  15. Like others.

    This is not REAL.

    Cannot be.. serious.

    Till can't do that especially now!!

    We care about him.

    It belonged to my plans to see him in Finland next year.

    I won't give up.

    Yes, I cried.. but that's over. 🙂

    Hang on, this is bullshit.
