Few details of the collaboration, called Lindemann, are available, though the duo have been working on material reportedly so powerful it will ‘echo in eternity’

Rammstein vocalist Till Lindemann has announced a new collaboration with Swedish producer and musician Peter Tägtgren of bands Hypocrisy and Pain.

While there is little else known about the project, entitled Lindemann, Pär Hulkoff, vocalist, guitarist and keyboardist for the Swedish industrial metal band Raubtier says he has listened to some of this “powerful” new music: “The small parts I heard really blew my mind,” he said. “This will echo in eternity.”

News of the duo’s formation began with the launch of an official Facebook page, and shows a portrait of Till and his bearded bride, Tägtgren.

This new musical guise remains another distraction from Rammstein’s future material. The pioneering German group have not released an album since 2009’s Liebe ist für alle da, with its members instead working on separate ventures: keyboardist Christian Lorenz is said to be writing a book, while guitarist Richard Z Kruspe is currently promoting his Emigrate project.



Kruspe recently told Metal Hammer magazine that the band are gearing up for the release of DVDs instead of new material: “We have a live DVD coming out, we have another live DVD coming out, we have another live DVD … We have so many live DVDs right now that we have to work that through. So, I think, at the moment, everyone does his own thing. I think it’s important, because, again, Rammstein was always a band that took their time, that listened to themselves, listened to what they need, how much time they need between [albums].”

Speaking to Kerrang! magazine last year, Kruspe also said that he and his bandmates had “lost contact” during their downtime. “At 18 or 20, it’s natural to have a gang around you. But in your 40s or 50s, it’s not normal to be around five guys the whole year. Because normally you’d start a family, have children. It’s like a marriage with six guys who are never having sex. People get frustrated!”
