Rammstein’s new unreleased song premiered in space
Metal greats Rammstein have made the most of their time during the pandemic working on a new album. In February, the band’s keyboardist Christian “Flake” Lorenz announced that the band had recorded a new album that had not even been planned.
Now, the band’s drummer Christoph Schneider says that one of the new songs has been given a very unique debut. The song was listened by European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Thomas Pesquet.
Pesquet is currently on board the International Space Station, or ISS. This is the first time that a new Rammstein song has been played outside the band’s inner circle in space.
“Space is calling! I had the honor to speak with ISS astronaut @thom_astro on behalf of @rammsteinofficial. He is the current commander of the @iss and living in space since half a year. It felt like a childs dream coming true for me – talking to a person living in the sky, sharing a glimpse of his view, realizing again how small we all are compared to the depth of the universe…”, Schneider writes and continues:
“He was the first to listen to one of our new songs from the upcoming album. It premiered in the sky, which is an honor for us. Thank you @nasa @europeanspaceagency and Thomas for this unique experience.”
Till Lindemann is heading out on a European tour in January.
