Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann has unveiled a new stand-alone solo single titled “Meine Welt” (stream below).

The song did not appear on Lindemann’s recent debut solo album, Zunge, which arrived on November 3rd of this year. However, the song title does serve as the name of Lindemann’s recently announced Fall 2025 European/UK tour.

The fall headlining tour kicks off October 29th in Leipzig, Germany, and runs through a December 16th concert in Stuttgart, Germany. Before that, Lindemann will play a series of European rock festivals in June and July. See the dates in the posters below, and pick up tickets here.

Lindemann wrapped up his first-ever solo tour of North America in late October. For that outing, his band was made up of guitar players Jes Paige and Emily Ruvidich, bassist Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails), keyboardist Constance Day, and drummer Joe Letz (Combichrist).

Meanwhile, Rammstein’s last album was 2022’s Zeit.

Louder Than Life was forced to cancel the Friday lineup of the weekend-long Louisville, Kentucky festival due to weather conditions spurred on by Hurricane Helene.

While the festival managed to stage its opening day on Thursday, wind gusts reaching 55 miles per hour and heavy showers from Helene entered the area Friday, according to the Courier-Journal. Gov. Andy Beshear also declared a state of emergency for eastern Kentucky amid the historic rainfall that swept the Southern states.

The festival initially planned on soldiering through the weather Friday, as the lots were...

Rammstein have issued an open letter to fans addressing last year’s allegations of sexual misconduct made against frontman Till Lindemann.

In 2023, multiple female fans came forward publicly to accuse Lindemann of engaging in sexual misconduct at Rammstein concerts and backstage/after-show parties related to the band’s “Row 0” fanclub. At the time, both Rammstein and Lindemann denounced the accusations, though German authorities went as far as to launch an investigation that has since been dropped.

I love everything about October, especially in a year that offers a bonus Friday on the 13th in 2023. So, Friday the 13th and Halloween this year make the spooky season even more special. And one of my favorite things to do, when the ghosts and ghouls frequent your local Target aisle, is check out the local haunts. Here in Los Angeles, you have many horror events to choose from. The beauty of Halloween however, is that most cities and towns across America all have a few choice spots to get creeped out at. As a service to all our readers, please leave suggestions in the comment section below that may lead to haunting holiday discoveries for others

The Los Angeles Haunted Hayride in Griffith Park is one such place. Strangely, I had never been before. However, I’d heard it was a must if you are in the Los Angeles area.

The massive 2023 Blue Ridge Rock Festival was set to take place over four days from Thursday (September 7th) through Sunday (September 10th) at the Virginia International Raceway, but due to severe weather and unsafe conditions, most of the event was canceled.

A sudden storm hit on Thursday afternoon as Coheed and Cambria had just begun their set, forcing the fest to shut down for the day and preventing the biggest bands and headliners from performing. Fans missed out on sets from Five Finger Death Punch, Staind, Evanescence, Rise Against, and more.

Friday’s bill went on as planned, with Slipknot and Danzig headlining, although Rammstein singer Till Lindemann canceled his set due to illness.

However, things took a turn for the worse early on Saturday, when anticipated weather once again shut down the festival, with organizers determining that Sunday needed to be canceled as well. That meant that bands like Pantera,...

A sexual assault investigation into alleged actions by Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann has been dropped by German prosecutors due to a lack of evidence and testimony.

The investigation was launched in June following social media posts by a female fan accusing Lindemann of drugging her at a pre-show VIP party in Lithuania before approaching her to have sex during an intermission in Rammstein’s performance. The posts led to numerous fans calling out Rammstein’s “Row 0” VIP experience as a means for Lindemann to encounter and recruit female fans for sex.

However, German prosecutors have dropped the investigations, which “did not provide any evidence,” stating that the alleged victim’s claims were too vague and went unsubstantiated by law enforcement due to a lack of direct testimony from the said accuser, as reported by The Guardian.

Responded Lindemann’s lawyers on behalf of the singer: “The rapid termination of investigative...

Prosecutors in Germany have dropped an investigation of Rammstein singer Till Lindemann after several women accused him of sexual assault.

In a statement, German prosecutors said the investigation “did not provide any evidence” to support the accusations made against Lindemann. But they also noted there was “little opportunity to substantiate the allegations sufficiently,” as most of the claims against Lindemann were brought by third parties or in the press.

Despite the claims being made publicly in this way — whether via the press or social media — prosecutors said that alleged victims...

Rammstein drummer Christoph Schneider has issued a statement on social media about the sexual misconduct allegations against frontman Till Lindeman, stating in part that the singer “has distanced himself from us in recent years and created his own bubble.”

The statement was posted to Schneider’s official social media accounts in his native German and opens with him stating the accusations have “shaken us as a band and me as a person.” Regarding the parties where the misconduct has been alleged to have taken place, Schneider said that he hadn’t seen or heard of “anything illegal” going on, but “things seem to have happened that, although legally ok, I personally don’t think are ok.”

Schneider continued by saying, “Certain structures have grown that went beyond the limits and values of the other band members. It is also important to us that Till’s parties are not confused with our official after-show parties.

Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann is being investigated by German prosecutors following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.

According to a statement from Berlin’s public prosecution office, per an Agence France-Presse report, “Preliminary proceedings have been initiated against Till Lindemann on allegations relating to sexual offenses and the distribution of narcotics.”

The investigation stems from initial accusations made by a Rammstein fan and concertgoer, Shelby Lynn, who claims she was drugged at a Rammstein pre-show party and propositioned for sex by Lindemann at a concert in Lithuania.

Forgoing her anonymity, Lynn recounted her full story on Twitter, saying she was selected to attend the band’s “Row 0” concert party by Joe Letz, the drummer in Lindemann’s eponymous side project. She then said she was introduced to Lindemann, who poured her and other guests tequila shots. Lynn insinuated that the drinks may have been spiked, noting that her behavior and motor skills were compromised.

Prosecutors in Berlin are investigating Rammstein singer Till Lindemann after several women have come forward with allegations of sexual assault and claims that they were drugged and propositioned for sex acts, according to Agence France-Presse (via Barron’s).

“Preliminary proceedings have been initiated against Till Lindemann on allegations relating to sexual offences and the distribution of narcotics,” a spokeswoman said in a statement, adding that they started the investigation of their own volition. The spokeswoman said she would not be making additional comments so as not to imperil the inquest.

Till Lindemann, lead singer of the band Rammstein, has been accused by multiple women of sexually assaulting and grooming them at after-show parties.

The allegations began with one woman when she went on social media to accuse Lindemann of drugging and propositioning her at one of the parties. Since then, more women are joining her in their accusations- one woman specifically stating that her drink was spiked at an after-party in Vilnius.

Rammstein is a well-known rock group in Germany. They play heavy metal and German Neue Deutsche Härte music, which is a type of rock music that originated in Germany.

They are currently on tour and their 4-night concert in Munich’s Olympic Stadium is sold out. Since the accusations, all after-parties have been canceled by the concert promoter. In addition to this, the concert promoter has also canceled the use of their “Row Zero” system. This is a...

German rock band Rammstein has tightened security and canceled afterparty events for a series of upcoming concerts in Munich after several women came forward alleging they were drugged and abused at the band’s recent concerts.

The allegations, which the band has denied, have triggered a media firestorm around the popular industrial metal group and its controversial lead singer, Till Lindemann, amid Rammstein’s current pan-European tour.

Last Thursday, Shelby Lynn, a Rammstein fan from Northern Ireland, posted on Instagram that she had been drugged at a concert in Vilnius, Lithuania, and taken backstage, where Lindemann had asked her for sex. She refused and he left, she said, but she was disoriented and later discovered several bruises on her body that had not been there before the concert.

Over the weekend, German newspapers Die Welt am Sonntag and Süddeutsche Zeitung published independent investigations based on multiple similar accounts of young...

Rammstein have responded to a fan’s accusation of being drugged at a pre-show party before a recent concert in Lithuania.

The fan in question, Shelby Lynn, took to Twitter two days after the show to describe the alleged incident, claiming that her drink was spiked during a pre-show party at Vingis Park in Vilnius. She also detailed a supposed encounter with Till Lindemann in a room below the stage during the intermission of the concert, where she refused to have sex with him, apparently angering the Rammstein frontman.

The band issued the following statement on Sunday (May 28th) via Twitter:

“With regard to the allegations circulating on the internet about Vilnius, we can rule out the possibility that what is being claimed took place in our environment. We are not aware of any official investigations into this matter.”

Lynn alleged that she was chosen as part of a select...

Rammstein singer Till Lindemann fell off the stage at the end of the band’s concert in Vilnius, Lithuania, on Monday night (May 22nd). The gig marked the German industrial metal act’s first official show of 2023, following a fan-club-only dress rehearsal a couple nights earlier at the same venue.

Video footage shows all six members of Rammstein standing at the front of the stage as Lindemann was thanking the crowd for attending the concert. After bidding the audience farewell, the singer turned around and lost his balance, stumbling and falling face first into a void toward the back of the stage.

After a second or two, Lindemann’s bandmates realized what happened and proceeded to look down to see if the singer was okay. It’s unclear at this time if he sustained any injuries from the fall.

As for the concert itself, Rammstein played a 21-song set that...

Rammstein are revisiting their 1997 sophomore album Sehnsucht with an expanded reissue due out June 9th.

The German icons are giving the album — the first Rammstein disc released in the US — a fresh coat of paint in the form of a new “HD” remaster and reworked artwork based on the original stateside release. The tracklist also includes an updated 2023 remix of “Spiel mit mir.”

The band is rolling out the Sehnsucht expanded edition in a wealth of “elaborately packaged” formats: CD, cassette, and double-lp vinyl (including black and white variants). The double-lp editions mark the first US vinyl release of the album following the initial European pressing in 2017 (the album was only released on CD and cassette in 1997).

Sehnsucht, which translates to “longing,” is the album that launched Rammstein to worldwide fame with its legendary hit “Du hast,” which saw frontman Till Lindemann and company melding groove metal, techno, and industrial rock into an infectious romp.

Rammstein are known for their elaborate music videos, which usually see frontman Till Lindemann in the starring role. The singer has once again flexed his acting skills in a new commercial for the online poker site GGPoker.

In the unsettling four-minute clip, Lindemann plays the role of multiple participants in a high-stakes poker game. There’s Cowboy Till with his prominent ‘stache and stetson; the mohawk’d Punk Till; suave Till, accompanied by a lady; nerdy Till wearing a sweater vest; and the ominous dealer Till, donning samurai attire.

From there, the poker game is depicted through symbolic sequences. When Suave Till loses a large bet, he’s suddenly engaged in a fencing match with his opponent, where he takes a slash to the cheek. The weirdest of these cutaways involves dark religious imagery, in which Nerdy Till — counting cards in his head — appears to take communion from an angelic figure spewing blood.

Lizzo gave her German fans a treat when she busted out an impromptu a cappella rendition of Rammstein’s “Du Hast” at a recent show in Hamburg.

It all began when Lizzo learned the word “Oma” — German for “granny.” In fan footage of the Hamburg show, she continues to repeat “Oma” to the crowd before suddenly going into “Du Hast.”

Hey, if you’re learning German, you gotta start somewhere. Lizzo certainly loves saying the words, parsing Rammstein’s lyrics with a random “Oma!” before emphatically belting out the song’s refrain: “Nein!”

“Oh Hamburg, I’m having fun, bitch!” she exclaimed.

It didn’t take long before fans were calling for a Rammstein x Lizzo collaboration. Comments on the TikTok video were flooded with requests for the unlikely pairing, with one user even asking for someone to start a petition. It sure seems like Lizzo would be down, commenting...

Rammstein’s video for “Zeit,” the title track for their upcoming album, is the typically surrealistic and sensational kind of clip people expect from the German industro-metal group.

There are shots of people drowning, scary wraith-like figures menacing kids in a fight, and the band members delivering babies as the sands of time surround them — all in reverse. It’s a visual feast, courtesy of director Robert Gwisdek, for an epic ballad in the group’s signature style, as frontman Till Lindemann sings in German about wishing time to stand still.

Adding to the celebrity and notable people news today concerning the rapidly spreading Covid-19 infections across the globe, German rockers Rammstein have shared that their lead singer Till Lindemann is currently in an ICU in Germany battling the disease. His prognosis is uncertain but we do know it is a severe enough situation to have him in the ICU, a...

While touring in support of their latest self-titled album, Rammstein traded their signature pyrotechnics for a different kind of fireworks in Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia: Swathed in metallic body paint, guitarists Paul Landers and Richard Kruspe exchanged a fleeting kiss while performing their 2019 song “Ausländer.” The kiss was in direct protest of Russia’s anti-lgbtq laws. (The kiss happens at the 4:55-mark in the above video.)

Passed in 2013 by President Vladimir Putin, Russia’s “gay propaganda” law bans materials that would “[present] distorted ideas about the equal social value...

We’re getting word that Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann came to blows with a man in a Munich hotel after the stranger hurled crude insults at the hard-rocker’s female companion. The woman identified only as Lana told Blabbermouth: “He said to me in English, ‘I would pay double for you.'” Lindermann apparently gave the lewd dude […] The post Rammstein’s Till Lindemann Under Investigation for Alleged Assault appeared first on Dread Central.

After an old-timey introduction promising “dance music,” a dapper-looking Rammstein launch into a heavy-metal march (complete with imagery of stormtroopers) in the video for “Radio,” a track off their upcoming, as-yet-untitled album.

The black-and-white clip, directed by longtime Rammstein collaborator Jörn Heitmann, shows imagery of women in World War II-era factory gear building ancient-looking transistor radios, another woman with a radio in a baby carriage (and breastfeeding it) and a boy spying on a woman making love to yet another radio. A nun even prays to one. Rammstein are dressed...

Rammstein have a gloomy offering in their latest music video for single "Haifisch". The band along with a group of friends and family are seen attending a private funeral for their frontman Till Lindemann. A bloody fight among the remaining members broke afterwards.

"Haifisch", ("Shark" in English), is taken from Rammstein's 2009 album "Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da". On their official site, the band said, "The song tells us that this shark not only has teeth, the shark has tears as well. But because he lives in the water, you do not see that. Too bad."

Rammstein are scheduled to perform at several concerts in Germany, Greece, Austria, Denmark and many other countries in Europe. One of the upcoming shows is a slot at Copenhagen Live! Festival which will have their performance opened by Volbeat.

More info about the other concerts can be seen on the band's official site.

Rammstein's "Haifisch...

German industrial-metallers Rammstein had quite a task ahead of them trying to top the unbelievably lewd antics of the first video from their chart-topping album Liebe Ist Für Alle Da – especially since that particular X-rated clip became one of the hottest viral videos of the year. While not nearly as shocking as its predecessor, their newly launched follow-up Ich Tu Dir Weh does the next best thing by capturing the maniacal energy of a Rammstein stage performance. It's also among the best of the many excellent tracks on the new album, so it's well worth a spin… but what the hell is up with frontman Till Lindemann's teeth? Described by the band as "the ultimate distillation of a Rammstein...
