Rammstein announce new album ‘Zeit’; release the title-track (video)

German metal giants Rammstein have announced their new album titled ‘Zeit,’ which is scheduled for release on April 29th, 2022, exactly three years after the unleashing of their untitled studio record in 2019. To coincide with the LP announcement, the band have revealed the album’s title-track in official music video form — see the clip (directed by actor and musician Robert Gwisdek) below.

A presser states, “Rumors have been buzzing around, now it’s official: Rammstein’s new album Zeit will be released on April 29, 2022. The eighth album from the Berlin musicians follows the untitled number one album that shot the band straight to the top of 14 international charts in 2019, after the longest break between albums of their career to date.”

They continue, “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.”

Regarding the new tune, they add, “Till Lindemann’s commanding baritone resonates over solemn piano chords and an angelic chorus of sirens. The song deals with transience, our mortality and the precious, fleeting happiness of the perfect moment.”

“Time, please stand still, stand still,” Lindemann states. “Time, this should always go on so/Time, it’s so beautiful, so beautiful/Anyone knows the perfect moment.”

In addition, Rammstein are planning to dish out a total of three versions of “Zeit,” including “a meditative, atmospheric neoclassical arrangement by Grammy-nominated Icelandic multi-instrumentalist Ólafur Arnalds, as well as a remix by electro producer Robot Koch,” as per the band.

Rammstein are also getting ready to embark on major European and North American tours this year — see all confirmed shows after the video below.
