Only a day after they teased three new songs, Rammstein have revealed their new album cover and tracklisting, and have teased another three tracks.
It looks like German industrial pioneers Rammstein are on a teasing spree in preparation for their upcoming self-titled album. The band teased two new tracks -- Radio and Zeig Dich -- last week, and three more -- Auslander, Puppe, and Sex -- only yesterday. Now, they've previewed three more songs on their YouTube channel, these ones titled Weit Weg, Diamant, and Was Ich Liebe.
Unlike the previous tracks the band has teased, the new songs aren't all just straight-up metal riffs. Weit Weg has a spooky, almost synthwavy tone to it, showing off the electronic sounds the band will be using in the track:
Diamant, meanwhile, is a twinkling, melancholy guitar part with a huge, epic drum sound playing once at the end of it:
That said, Was Ich Liebe is a big chainsaw-edged guitar riff that sounds traditionally Rammstein:
All of these clips seem to lead to a preview of the new album, which shows the giant unlit match:
Which apparently is also the band's album cover, as revealed today:
Along with the cover, the band has also revealed the album's full tracklisting:
Rammstein’s long-awaited new album, titled simply Rammstein, which drops on May 17th via UME/Spinefarm, and is available fro preorder.
