Universal Music, das
langjährige Label von Rammstein, wird das neue Soloalbum des Sängers der Band,
Till Lindemann„I cannot reword.“
Instead, the album titled „Zunge“ is apparently set to be released on November 3, 2023, through self-publishing. Rammstein’s website now allows pre-orders for the band’s frontman’s solo album in CD, vinyl, and fanbox formats, without mentioning a label. Other online retailers, such as Amazon, have not listed the physical version of the album „Zunge“ for pre-order yet. However, the previously released single with the same title is available for streaming on platforms like Apple Music and Spotify, with the copyright attributed solely to „Till Lindemann.“ The management of Rammstein did not initially respond to a recent inquiry from ZEIT ONLINE.
bereits in den Händen von ZEIT ONLINE, dass Lindemann ein neues Soloalbum veröffentlicht hatte.Universal Music bereits fertig
vor. Es sollte Herbst 2023 und damit im zeitlichen
Zusammenhang mit der anstehenden Solotournee Lindemanns veröffentlicht werden. Diese
Tour startet am 8. November 2023 in Leipzig, zehn der 24 angekündigten Konzerte sind
laut der Website von Lindemann bereits ausverkauft. Als ZEIT ONLINE im Juli
über das Soloalbum des Rammstein-Sängers berichtete, hat sich Universal Music auf eine Nachfrage zu dem neuen Lindemann-Album nicht geäußert; zuvor
hatte ZEIT ONLINE dem Unternehmen einen Fragenkatalog zu Rammstein und Till Lindemann vorgelegt.
Universal Music has announced that Till Lindemann will be able to release his solo album without their involvement in order to ensure its timely release before his planned concert tour in November 2023. They have also stated that they will provide further information about future releases at a later date. The Danish branch of Universal Music has confirmed that the album „Zunge“ will not be released by the music company in Scandinavia.
In June 2023, various media outlets, including ZEIT ONLINE, reported on a casting system that was used at Rammstein concerts to connect Lindemann with women, potentially for sexual purposes. Several women, some of them anonymously, made serious allegations against Lindemann. Media outlets such as ZEIT ONLINE, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, and Welt am Sonntag have spoken to different women who claimed to have attended Lindemann’s parties before and after Rammstein concerts in recent years. Some reported disturbing experiences, while others mentioned enjoying the parties. Lindemann has consistently denied these allegations through his legal representation at the Schertz Bergmann law firm.
Universal Music hat nach
den Presseberichten die Marketing- und Promotionsaktivitäten für Alben der Band Rammstein Mitte Juni vorläufig ausgesetzt. „Die
Vorwürfe gegen Till Lindemann haben uns schockiert“, teilte das Label damals
mit. Die Plattenfirma habe „den größten Respekt vor den Frauen, die sich
in diesem Fall so mutig öffentlich geäußert haben“.
Schertz Bergmann stated in the following that accusations of women being drugged with K.O. drops or alcohol at Rammstein concerts in order for our client to engage in sexual acts with them are completely false. The law firm has taken legal action against some media reports, successfully obtaining an injunction against parts of Spiegel’s coverage from the Hamburg Regional Court. However, the Frankfurt am Main Regional Court rejected a cease and desist request from the Rammstein singer against Süddeutsche Zeitung last week.
