The first single of the same name from the upcoming Rammstein album “Zeit” was presented on March 10 as a YouTube premiere. Since then there have been repeated rumors about the official track list for the record, which will be released on April 29th. This has now been put to an end: with a scavenger hunt.
11 songs, 11 time capsules
Rammstein posted the announcement of the game on Twitter last Friday (March 25). In keeping with the title of the album, they had a total of eleven “time capsules” hidden – distributed all over the world. These should stand for the eleven tracks that the new disc will contain.

Rammstein and the Ukraine Crisis
Most recently, the members of Rammstein attracted attention above all with their social commitment: while frontman Till Lindemann initiated a fundraising campaign for Ukraine and provided emergency aid at Berlin Central Station, colleague Richard Kruspe was also involved in a chartity song for Ukraine. In addition, the band canceled their concerts in Russia to make a statement. But the advertising drum for the new album is also being banged up: in addition to a wide variety of remixes of the single “Zeit”, behind-the-scenes material from the video shoot was also recently released.
