Pre-order the album here:
Rammstein is Till Lindemann (vocals), Paul Landers (guitar), Richard Z. Kruspe (guitar), Flake (keyboards), Oliver Riedel (bass) and Christoph Schneider (drums) spent two years working on the eleven songs on the new album. They were once again assisted by Berlin producer Olsen Involtini. “Zeit” was recorded at La Fabrique Studios in St. Rémy de Provence, France.
The song deals with transience, our mortality and the precious, fleeting happiness of the perfect moment. “Time, please stand still, stand still,” Lindemann laments and implores. “Time, this should always go on so/Time, it’s so beautiful, so beautiful/Anyone knows the perfect moment.”
For the B-sides, the band is releasing a meditative, atmospheric neoclassical arrangement by Grammy-nominated Icelandic multi-instrumentalist
Ólafur Arnalds, as well as a remix by electro producer Robot Koch.
Rammstein fans can look forward to multiple “Zeit” formats on
29 April – the new album will be released as a standard CD in a
digipack with a 20-page booklet, a special edition CD in a 6-panel digipack
with a 56-page booklet including slipcase, and as a double 180g vinyl LP with a
20-page large-format booklet, as well as in the usual digital formats. Pre-orders are live now.
