Sehnsucht tracklist | ||
Tier is the third song on the album Sehnsucht by Rammstein.
Not to be confused with the 1994 song of the same name.
Background
- The riff used in the song is almost the same as in "The Dawning Of Doom" by Die Krupps. Because of this, Jürgen Engler is credited as one of the writers of the song.
- The song uses a drum sample that comes from the 4th track on the "Datafile Three" sample library by Zero-G.
