Richard Kruspe, guitarist for Rammstein, spoke about the upcoming album and the shows featuring fire and pyrotechnics
While Rammstein continues working on their next album, guitarist Richard Kruspe remains concerned about the musical quality. He believes that people pay more attention to the explosive, fire-filled shows than to the music itself.
In a recent interview with Metal Wani , Kruspe spoke about the genesis of the album in progress.
“Well, when I thought about making a new Rammstein album, I was like, ‘no, I’m not going to do that.’ I’m not going to continue with this suffering,” he said. “That was four years ago. But what we did at the beginning was say, ‘let’s get together and make three or four songs.’ We didn’t put any pressure on it. Which was very important.”
When the band started getting together and producing, Kruspe thought, “Wow, it actually turned out really good. Things have changed.” Suddenly, a certain kind of respect emerged that I had been missing a little. It was like when we started. Then I wanted to make a new album. But it had to be musically superior to all the others. That was our goal.”
He continued: “It’s so hard to say, because I’ve been working on this process for four years. I’m so close. When I listen to the album, it’s like ‘Rammstein 3D’. We should mix about 11 songs. We’re releasing it in April and then we’ll do a stadium tour. It’s very exciting.”
