Information

  • In 2023, a finished Till Lindemann album was mentioned by Zeit Online and therefore publicly confirmed for the first time:[1]

The album has been finished for a long time, it has also been available to Universal Music for a long time, independent sources have confirmed this to ZEIT ONLINE. At least a hint of new Lindemann music can be found in the announcement of the solo tour planned for November and December.

  • Pre-orders for the album were made available in the official RammsteinShop on 8 September 2023.
  • On 23 October, the image of the box packaging was updated in the RammsteinShop, now depicting a sticker mentioning to include a single titled Fleisch.
  • On 27 October, the release date of the physical editions was postponed to 17 November for both the CD and the Limited Fanbox, and to 1 December for the vinyl.
  • On 3 November, the Spotify profile advertised an official "Zunge" playlist, which included Ich hasse Kinder in between Tanzlehrerin and Nass.
  • The album was sold on the Tour 2023 from 10 November onwards.
  • On 8 January 2025, Out of Line Music started to re-issue the album digitally. It initially included the song Ich hasse Kinder and every word in each song title started with a capital letter. Both differences were swiftly changed by a subsequent re-issue of the digital album and the first one deleted.
  • The original album was withdrawn from streaming services on 20 October 2025, after the 2025 edition was released.
