“Gift” or “Fear” – these are the names of the songs on the new Rammstein record, which is now available in stores. And those who want to experience the band around singer Lindemann live don’t have to wait long either.
The new album «Zeit» by the Berlin metal band Rammstein hit the market at midnight at the Berlin Kulturkaufhaus Dussmann.
Hard-boiled fans secured the eighth album by the musicians around singer Till Lindemann before the official start of sales when the shops opened.
On Thursday evening, fans all over the world had the opportunity to listen to the eleven songs on the album for around 45 minutes in selected cinemas such as the Berlin Zoo Palast. The videos of the first singles “Zeit” and “Zick Zack” were shown as well as the video for the third release “Angst”, which was to be released today at 5 p.m. Graphics were projected onto the screen for the eight remaining songs.
A surprising number of songs on the album revolve around the end, farewell, old age, dwindling time. Playful synthesizer phrases sometimes have a lot of space. The pounding, often staccato guitar riffs can also be heard again and again. Some passages in “Gift”, “OK” or “Angst” are very reminiscent of old Rammstein hardness.
After the forced break caused by the corona, the successful stadium tour should also continue very soon on stage. The German concerts, which have been sold out for a long time, kick off on May 20th and 21st in Leipzig.
