Herzeleid tracklist | |
Asche zu Asche is the fourth song on the album Herzeleid by Rammstein.
Background
- A single was released for the song in 2001, but only in Australia.
- The song was likely one of the last songs to be written for the album, as it does not appear to have been played in 1994, unlike the other songs on the album.
- The line "Das Schwesterlein ertrinkt im Gin" from Till's poem Asche zu Asche, which was released in the book Rammstein in 2001, was changed into "Die Stiefmama ertrinkt im Gin" and re-used in the demo version of the song Spiel mit mir played live at some shows in the middle of 1996.
- Some Motor Music promo compilation VHS tapes include "Asche" amongst other Rammstein videos. It is unknown whether this is a live recording, or whether it is actually an unreleased music video.
Covers
- The song was covered by Sylencer.
