Sehnsucht tracklist | |
Engel is the second song on the album Sehnsucht by Rammstein.
Background
- The song's riff was previously used in the Orgasm Death Gimmick song Be Up To Know.
- The chorus in this song is sung by the singer Christiane "Bobo" Hebold of the band Bobo In White Wooden Houses.
- The chorus sung by Bobo was at first meant to be the bridge of the song, and it was later developed into a repeating chorus.[2]
- The song uses a sample from the 49th track on the "Datafile One" sample library by Zero-G for the keyboard solo.
- In 2013, the "Aesthetic Perfection Remix" was released, which included previously unheard demo lyrics of the song.
Covers
- The German artist Mambo Kurt covered the song in 1999 and released it as a single. In 2006 it was released on his album Organized Crime.
- Belgian girls choir Scala & Kolacny Brothers covered the song in 2004 for their album Dream On.
- Scala & Kolacny Brothers' cover was played live at every 2019 Europe Stadium Tour concert, with Duo Jatekok or Abélard.
- Rob Trujillo and Kirk Hammett of Metallica covered the song during their concert on 6 July 2019 in Berlin.
- The German medieval funmetal band Feuerschwanz covered the song on the special edition of their album Das elfte Gebot.
- The song was also covered by Gleis 8, Holzfrei Böhmische, Feuerbach Quartett, VoixxBradler, Global Kryner, angeblich erträglich, Acoustic Steel, Stimmgewalt, Gregorian, Böser Wolf and Priest.
