RAMMSTEIN: New Album Track-By-Track Preview
August 13, 2009Terrorizer magazine's Joy Lasher recently had a chance to listen to eight tracks from the as-yet-untitled new RAMMSTEIN album, due late fall in the U.S. via Vagrant Records. You can read her track-by-track review at Terrorizer.com.
RAMMSTEIN is the Berlin-based industrial metal sextet well known for its controversial and fiery live performances. The band's first new album in four years will contain 11 songs which were once again mixed and mastered by Jacob Hellner in Stockholm, Sweden. Pre-production for the new release was done at Castle Beerenstedt in eastern Germany’s Halle/Saale while the bulk of the recording was done in late 2008 at Northern California's Sonoma Mountain Studio.
RAMMSTEIN has sold nearly three million records in the U.S. and over 14 million albums worldwide.
The band first stormed American shores in 1998 touring behind their Grammy-nominated breakthrough sophomore release, "Sehnsucht". Band members were jailed in the U.S. on indecency charges during the 1998 Family Values tour due to RAMMSTEIN's highly provocative live show.
RAMMSTEIN's last tour through the U.S. was in 2001 in support of "Mutter", and as they continued to sonically and visually explore societal and sexual taboos, RAMMSTEIN has found themselves embroiled in further controversies both here and abroad throughout the last decade.
RAMMSTEIN retains an aura of mystery due in part to their ambiguous lyrics (sung almost entirely in German) while their chart-topping releases and sold-out worldwide tours prove that fans can’t get enough of this enigmatic group.

Till Lindemann - Vocals
Paul Landers - Guitar
