A Tribute Album to Rammstein is Coming Soon!
When I say “soon,” I mean soon. As in, August 25th. Four days from now.
I had heard the covers of “Feuer Frei!” by The 69 Eyes and “Engel” by Priest, and I thought it was kind of odd (and awesome) that suddenly everyone was releasing their take on infamous Rammstein tracks. Then, I stumbled across a post on a Front Line Assembly fan page and saw that those two releases are part of a bigger project.
I’m pretty excited about this! The album features versions of songs such as “Du Hast,” “Sonne,” “Radio,” and “Deutschland,” by a slew of artists, including Front Line Assembly, Skold, Julien-K, and more. I will include the full track list below. You can order your copy on Cleopatra Records’ site.
1. “Du Hast” – Burton C. Bell, Paul Ferguson, and MGT
2. “Deutschland” – Front Line Assembly
3. “Sonne” – Skold
4. “Engel” – Priest
5. “Amerika” – Laibach
6. “Feuer Frei!” – The 69 Eyes
7. “Ausländer” – Jah Wobble & Jon Klein
8. “Radio” – Julien-K
9. “Ich Will” – Stoneman
10. “Keine Lust” – Lacrimas Profundere
11. “Links 2 3 4” – Manntra
BONUS TRACKS
12. “Mein Teil” – Original God
13. “Du Hast” – Læther Strip
Not My God Announces Farewell Tour
Not My God is an industrial project that features Tim Sköld (Shotgun Messiah, Marilyn Manson) and Nero Bellum (Psyclon Nine). The pair came together in 2020, releasing the self-titled Not My God on Valentine’s Day. This was followed by Simulacra in 2021 and, earlier this year, the twelve track Obverses.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and it seems that Not My God is calling it quits – after a final tour, of course…which also happens to be their first tour. Alongside Not My God will be Snakes of Russia, Clockwork Echo, and Death Loves Veronica. Tickets and VIP are available at skold.com.
