Rammstein Part Ways With Singer?

The following statement has been cited on blabbermouth, German industrial metallers Rammstein have parted company with singer Till Lindemann.

According to an official statement from the band, Lindemann's decision to leave the Grammy nominated outfit was because of "inharmoniousness within the band" and was "well deliberated."

"He will head now for other challenges which can be a solo career or maybe a new project," continues the statement.

The band have announced that former KMFDM man En Esch will take his place on vocal duties. Rammstein guitarist Richard Kruspe and drummer Christoph Schneider added:

"Nobody ever can replace Till Lindemann but since we have still so much fun doing Rammstein we looked for a new singer which is charismatic in his own way without copying Till.

"We all will miss Till Lindemann who gave us many years of joy by listening to his unique grinding voice. Please welcome the talented En Esch - Till's footsteps are big, but maybe he can dry our tears rapidly.

This news took the metal world by storm; however, it has not yet been confirmed by any official source. At the moment, allsigns in the sky point to all of this being an elaborate hoax.

Thanks for the info to Metalstorm.ee.

[:Revenga:]

please please please please say it's a hoax..
Rammstein aren't Rammstein without Till, they can bring in God himself and it'd still be inferior.
=[ it's making me sad allready...

[One Inch Man]

This information seems to be untrue! For everyone who can read german: http://www.laut.de/vorlaut/news/2007/07/17/15984/index.htm

[Mass_debator]

SUCKS if it's true. I thought his plan was to stay in Rammstein and retire when he's 50.

[Mass_debator]

I'm probably, hopelessly wrong but doesn't that headline just mean something along the lines of "Rammstein's Record Label don't know anything about Till Leaving"?

[punk_mike_88]

If this is true, I'm going to cry, literally.

[Biff_Line]

awwwww....

[Biohazard]

they can bring in God himself and it'd still be inferior

weird

[NOtrab]

NOOO!!!!

[:Revenga:]

it's ok, looks like its not true:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rammstein#Lindemann.27s_ departure_hoax
Bloody Blabbermouth...

[EireSmif]

Considering the band all agreed that if any member left, they would stop making music, I find this hard to believe. If, somehow, Till leaves, he's taking a piece of my heart with him.

[senor_penguin]

ahhh man,oh well

[daytripper75]

i hope it isnt true. luckily it doesnt look like it is. i just cant imagine anyone replacing Till.

[true_bacon22]

stupid blaber mouth

[bunnybuns25]

Thats wat rammstein was shitty guitar backing with Tills vocals caring the rest he is rammstien if he leaves the band dies

[riceranger12345]

hahahahaha

[Stolenidentity1]

dont ever believe blabbermouth there usually wrong

[kcfshorty]

i hope its a hoax...

rammstein is personally not my favorite, but there is no denying the guys voice is the staple of the music. not to mention hes badass as ****...

[Draken]

It's a hoax which is terrible really because Till is a fantastic vocalist.

[catchtherainbow]

NOOOOO!!!!! NOOOOO!!!! Not Till!!!!! he never mentioned any solo project! He can't find a solo project..Rammstein IS his solo project

[F-ing Hostile]

dude... wtf...

I seriously just cried a little bit

[Kinderfeld]

Hoaxes ftl...

[HeXeL]

True or not, Rammstein can no longer be called Rammstein without Till's vocals. Just like G n' R could no longer continue without Axl Rose. There aren't many unique singers in our era and Till has proven to be truly out of this world while with Rammstein. I am truly disappointed to hear these rumors.

[Reecoom]

It'd really blow if Till quit. Seriously.
Till, stay a little longer. Don't leave.

Esch was supposedly replacing the departed lead singer of tanz metall group Rammstein, but the departure was in fact a hoax.

Straight from Wiki

[Dutch ESP dude]

I have pretty reliable sources and they tell me this is true.

You don't need to worry about Guns N' Roses continuing without Axl. They just continued without everybody else

[FBA Ac1d]

Wow this can NOT be true. Till has the most unique voice. A lot of the reason people even listened to Rammstein was because of his cool voice. Everybody certainly couldnt understand the lyrics but his deep, baritone voice added so much to Rammstein style. This better be a hoax or Im about to be so mad.

[Mihyaeru]

hehe this is quite ironic just the other day thee was an article with the guitarist argh 4got his name saying rammstein were still makingm usic and had no plans on splitting ne time soon and then this appears tho it could be false infromation to jsut stir up the splitting rumour you know what the media is like :P

[MetalOxymoron]

What a shame. Till was one of the best in the business. But hopefully its a hoax.

[Engel22]

THIS IS A HOAX! rammstein did not i repeat not say that.

[InSaynePig]

take it down, take it down!! you'll give some poor visitor a heart attack.

[Tedward]

FUCK NO!!!!!


this sucks, a great loss for rock music, unless ( i hope) it isnt true.

[ValenceElectron]

DAMN! I'm so glad it's a hoax. I was almost that poor visitor having the heart attack.

[CaptainWow]

Well, I get the feeling there may be a retraction of this article coming soon.

I must disagree, GnR cannot continue without Slash. GnR has continued...in Velvet Revolver. Though I do agree, Axl's voice is what made GnR unique. That, and his PMS-like attitude.

This news took the metal world by storm

I'm not really into metal but i don't give a damn xD
Till will do better on his own.

No way, Till stays with RAMMSTEIN, it's just a hoax. Real statements are published by the official RAMMSTEIN-Homepage! And there's nothing about Till Lindemann leaving Rammstein! Never ever something about Rammstein was confirmed by press statements! HOOOOAAAX!

Berlin (yoga) - yesterday Blabbermouth had reported that linden tree man leaves because of volume internal differences Rammstein. A replacement would be already found. That as a dependably valid News-side of Roadrunner Records deleted the message today without statement of reasons again. On inquiry of loudly why the message was retracted, declared the responsible editor, he the press release that had received Blabbermouth considers, meanwhile to be a forgery.

The management of Rammstein does not announce novelties normally over press releases, but rather on the official volume-web page. Moreover the communication with the sender of the volume-management had been sent over a cost-free enamel-Account, what would speak also against its authenticity.

Also Rammstein-guitarist Richard Kruspe should have assured meanwhile in a fora-contribution that the message of linden tree man exit would not agree. Let no member the volume be replaceable.

In the meantime, the message spread itself however like a course fire and released horror under the followers the volume. The Spanish fan side rammsteinclub. com called even already an Online-petition into life, in which fans can express itself for the whereabouts of linden tree man in Rammstein.

Asks itself only, who set the rumor into the world. In Blabbermouth, one is angry about naturally the own gullibility - and over the Rammstein-management, that does not react to inquiries on the part of the press only rarely or generally.

The management could make the rumors with a short Statement on rammstein. de an end, scolds Borivoj Krgin of Blabbermouth. There are only two possible reasons why that would not happen: Let the management either be "totally incompetent". Or one believes, would be the large Publicity that had released the message, good for the volumes.

Weird, I've never seen anyone say/post anything about rammstein but everyone seemed to be pretty shooked up.
So uh? What the hell people?
I didn't even think there were any Rammstein fans on this site at all..

Or does some just go with the flow?

[AnarchyGuitarst]

haha linden tree man

[Murdered2Death]

I could care less about these guys, they have no real message in there music. What really turned me off to the was when I looked up some lyrics and found out that they'll sing about anything from people who eat penis' to plane crashes to Russian prostitutes.

[CSUTremonti777]

Thank GOD its a hoax. Rammstein is the shit it just wouldnt be the same

[megadethisbeast]

y are singers always leaving for a solo career. the only difference between play with a band and a solo career is that u have to pay for your musicians and you lose your name and become a no show. Ie: Bruce Dickenson, Rob Halford, Jason Newstead, Ozzy is probably the only one who succeeded.

I agree with the fact that they do seem like more of a joke than a serious band but that does not mean that they dont kick ass!!! i love rammstein.

[dio_dude]

I havent heard rammstein, but they must be alright if they are causing this much fuss.

[masterometal666]

Good god please no. Oh my god. Rammstein should just stop if Till really has left. And I was so looking forward to another kickass album coming out at some point. Now I'm kinda depressed. Fuck.

I always found the lyrics to be extreemely deep (though it can easily get lost in translation). You obviously have no idea what they're really talking about. The "eating penis" thing is about a horrible event that really took place. A cannibal found a willing victim in an online chat room and lured him to his home, where he proceeded to eat the victim. The willing victim's last request was that he wanted to share his dick with the cannibal, and so the song mocks it by saying "NO, that's my part (Mein Teil)!!!" Lots of other things can be found as well that suggest that Rammstein have more lyrical talent than alot of people want to give them. Get your shit straight.

[siegistic]

God. It's obviously a f*cking hoax.

[VenOmega]

Of course it's bullshit. There's no way they could have found a new singer, had him sign on the dotted line and made it official simultaneously with Till's leaving and the press release.

[mrbiscuits315]

Im not a big fan of rammstein. But its not rammstein without till.

[stevie-ray]

Rammstein is one of those bands that only release albums so they can play live. Well that's what I think.

Good original band. (probably will get someone on a high-horse to correct me there lol)

[pkweon]

thank god

[bassmanjoe08]

Till is kinda the mentality of Rammstein. I really dont think anyone can replace Till's stage presence, lol.

No sense in getting a replacement - just end it. By the way, he looks like a cancer patient in that picture.

Till has the coolest most fitting voice for Rammstein
he is and always will be Rammstein's lead singer

dont just look at what it says in their lyrics, look at the deeper meaning of the lyrics.

From their site:

COUNTERSTATEMENT REF. „TILL LINDEMANN LEAVES RAMMSTEIN“Since the rumour did alarm people that Till Lindemann would leave Rammstein after the release of the upcoming album, we are pleased to inform you that after consulting Rammstein manager Emanuel Fialik, the so-called news turns out being a fake.

„Neither Till Lindemann nor another band member plans to leave Rammstein. The band is currently working on the next album and is in an excellent mood. As the greed for news is the actual doping in cycling, this 'news' is only serving those who spread the same. Though the world knows now that EnEsch has moved to Berlin, even the poor EnEsch was shocked by the outlook to have to step into Till Lindemanns footsteps. I hope he and the fans of the band will recover soon from this false report.“
