Information

Recording

The pre-production of the album started in February and went on through October 2008. The band started out in Hermannshagen, where they started jamming ideas and recorded some of the riff ideas and choruses. During that time, which was about a month, the band recorded around 80 to 90 ideas, which were not full songs. After that the band went to their home studio in Berlin to further work on the songs. During that time Richard got annoyed by the process. Then the band started rehearsing the songs in the castle in Beesenstedt. Recordings took longer than usual, because after the long break, the band had to learn to make music together again. Schneider told them, that they should either make everything together or just split up.

First the drums were recorded in Los Angeles, in the Henson Studios. In an interview Paul said:

The drum recordings at Henson Studios in Los Angeles were perfect. There were professionals at work, there was a good-sounding recording room and the equipment was first-class. Every little cymbal module was more expensive than a small Polish car. The people were fit and knew what they were doing. This set a good base, so we were all sad when we left for San Francisco.

After recording in Los Angeles for one week, the band drove to the Sonoma Studios in San Francisco, where they stayed for six weeks. Paul said in the same interview:

There we ended up in a studio that was in the middle of a retiree resort. We had imagined that differently, because actually the area was quite cool. There were cougars and deer running around, but we were in the middle of nowhere, and when we booked, we couldn't see the barbed wire that fenced off all the paths. We felt cramped, and on top of that, the studio wasn't exactly inviting. The owner had hung unsightly things everywhere that we had to take down first. However, after de-cluttering the rooms, we started to feel better.

All in all it was a very hard album to record, as the band wasn't respecting each others wishes and had to learn to take care of each other again. The band recorded a total of 18 to 20 songs of which 18 songs have been released. 15 on the special edition of the album, plus Mein Land and Vergiss uns nicht on the single for Mein Land, and Gib mir deine Augen on the single for Mein Herz brennt. If there are more finished and unreleased songs, is not known.

The band previewed seven songs from the album to the press. Those songs were Wiener Blut, Waidmann, Pussy, Ich tu dir weh, Haifisch, Mehr and Rammlied.

Promotion

The album was promoted with a few short advertisings on TV and some exclusive videos on The Gauntlet. One video showed Swedish bodybuilder Irene Andersen, lifting weights in a gym. Another video showed a seniors party. A third video showed an older woman turning up the radio, when Frühling in Paris is played. And a fourth video showed a butcher at work, while listening to Waidmanns Heil.

Cover

Digital artwork with heart not centered

The photo on the cover is shot by Eugenio Recuenco, who is also responsible for all the photos inside the album. The cover shows the band around a table, with a naked woman lying on it. In the USA, the cover was censored and hidden behind an extra paper, which showed the same artwork, but with an empty table on the front. The USA also censored the song title of Pussy to P***y, using a sticker. The special edition of the album came inside a cardboard box, which shows the LIFAD heart logo. This version is used for the digital version as well, although the heart is not centered.

Index

The album was indexed in Germany on 11 November 2009, because of the song Ich tu dir weh and the photo of Richard in the booklet, who is about to hit a woman lying over his lap. On 5 November 2009, the band posted the news on their Facebook page:

Verdict: The new Rammstein album has been indexed at the request of the Federal Ministry led by Minister von der Leyen and will only be available over the counter in future. Adults should not forget their ID and then ask their trusted dealer.

On 12 December 2009, the band posted that also the instrumental version of the song is no longer allowed to be play live, when people below 18 are present at their concerts:

As of today, the instrumental version of "Ich tue dir weh" will also no longer be performed in Germany, as access to the concerts would otherwise not be permitted to persons under the age of 18.

The band then released a censored version of the album, which censored the lyrics of Ich tu dir weh in the booklet, and removed the photo of Richard. Additionally the song was replaced by four seconds of silence. While the censored standard edition of the album was available in stores, the censored special edition was only available in the deluxe suitcase. The album was taken off the index on 8 June 2010.
