Rammstein fans, brace yourselves: the German industrial metal powerhouse is back with their ninth studio album, arriving this October 2025. After the global intensity of their 2022 effort Zeit, the band has reunited with longtime producer Olsen Involtini and promises an even darker, more cinematic sound than ever before .
This new album – currently untitled – marks a monumental moment in Rammstein’s career. It’s their first full-length album since Zeit, and by all accounts, it’s shaping up to be one of their boldest creative jumps yet. With Involtini at the helm again—whose work dates back to their pivotal 2001 album Mutter—the band is returning to their roots with renewed fire and vision .
According to lead guitarist Richard Z. Kruspe, the recording sessions kicked off in early 2025, spanning studios in both Berlin and Prague. The band leaned heavily into analog synths, live orchestras, and experimental vocals, creating an intense, unpredictable atmosphere in the studio .
Frontman Till Lindemann has indicated the album will tackle themes of power, control, and social unrest—territory well suited to Rammstein’s searing lyrical edge. He remarked that they’re once again “holding up a mirror”—a mirror polished by darkness and unrest .
While the full tracklist remains under wraps, insiders say the total runtime will hover around an hour, featuring approximately 11 songs—including one epic, nine‑minute opus. Fans are already buzzing with speculation around potential titles and musical styles .
The official release date has been confirmed as October 2025, rounding out a year full of dramatic highs and intense creativity. With the first single expected in late August, the stage is set for a powerful autumn rollout .
From a production standpoint, this album promises to be Rammstein’s most ambitious yet. Combining orchestral grandeur, aggressive industrial textures, and analog warmth, they’re clearly pushing past any previous sonic boundaries .
To match the album’s intensity, Rammstein will embark on a world tour kicking off November 2025, hitting major cities like Berlin, Paris, London, New York, São Paulo, and Tokyo. Fan club members get an early shot at tickets starting June 15, 2025 .
Expect nothing less than theatrical pyrotechnics, groundbreaking stage design, and the band’s signature flair for the dramatic. As drummer Christoph Schneider teased, “We’re taking the fire to a whole new level” .
In today’s fragmented musical landscape, Rammstein’s return is a testament to the enduring appeal of bold storytelling, visceral sound, and uncompromising artistry. They’re not just dropping an album—they’re delivering a full‑scale creative event .
So mark your calendars: an untitled Rammstein album drops October 2025, followed by a tour launching in November. This is shaping up to be the industrial metal event of the year.
Stay tuned for the first single in August—and prepare to enter a darker, wilder Rammstein universe.
