New Mein Teil Release Date
The release date for Mein Teil has been confirmed, again. It will be released in Germany/Austria/Switzerland on July 26th and the international release will be on August 30th (even though they gave an international release date, Mein Teil most likely will not be released in the US or Canada, but maybe Mexico or Australia).
Album Tracks
The fanarea has confirmed that these are track titles that were played on Rammstein's promo-tour for different publications: Reise Reise, Amerika, Mein Teil, Flugangst, Keine Lust, Morgenstern, Los, und Amour. Flugangst was originally called Dalai Lama and is likely to change again.

Album Info
All of the following information about the album is not confirmed. However, it has come from interviews on Rammstein's promo-tour around Europe, so the information may have been correct at the time, but is still subject to change. The working title of the album right now is "Reise, Reise" (Journey, Journey or Voyage, Voyage) and may still change. Some song titles are (with rough translations - it will be easier to translate these once I read the full lyrics), in no particular order:
- Reise Reise [Journey, Journey or Voyage, Voyage]
- Amerika [America]
- Los [Loose or Go (could also mean something else, depends on the context)]
- Wo bist du [Where are you]
- Mein Teil [My Part (part refers to a penis)
- Dalai Lama (or Fluganst [Fear of Flying])
- Keine Lust [No Feeling or No Desire]
- Morgenstern [Morning Star]
- Amore [Love]
These are songs that do exist, but could have title changes or could end up being left off of the album. There will also be more tracks on the album, probably for a total of 11 songs. Mein Teil was inspired by a story in Germany from 2001. A 41-year old man posted an ad online which a 43-year old man answered. The 43-year old man agreed to have his penis (hence Teil meaning penis in the song Mein Teil) cut off and eaten by the two of them and then be killed. A rumored release date is September 20th, but may change.
Mein Teil info
The release date may still change for this single, although it is unlikely that it will be any later than August 2nd. It is possible it could come out earlier.

Single delayed again
Abella.de, an online merchandiser that is connected with Universal and Motor, has put up a release date of August 2nd for Mein Teil. Also, in a phone conversation with a fanarea contest winner, Emu (Rammstein's manager) also hinted that the release date could be pushed back to August 2nd, so this information seems to be reliable.Thanks to herzausstein for this info.
Pet Shop Boys remixes
Pet Shop Boys will be doing a remix of Mein Teil for the upcoming single. This is what is posted on their site: Pet Shop Boys are at it again! They've been secretly working on some remixes for Rammstein's upcoming single called "Mein Teil". The single will be released early August. The Pet Shop Boys have created a main mix and a 7" mix for "Mein Teil" called "PSB You are what you eat Mix" and an electro mix called "PSB There are no guitars on this Mix". At the moment, Rammstein has not decided which versions will be included in their release. When release details have been finalized, we'll announce it here.
Fan submissions
Added new fanart by "Christoph Schneider," Live Angel, and Sara Kelly to the fanarea section. Added a link to RammsteinRu.com to the links page.

Richard look-a-like
This was posted on Rammstein.com:We just got word from Headquarters about this search: A double for Richard is urgently needed! That means we are looking for a man who resembles Richard in size and stature, the more similarities that are present - even facial features - the better. The ideal case would be a man that everyone would believe to be Richard's twin! If you're our man, you should have time in the next week (May 31 - June 5, 2004) and you must send us an E-mail to the address doppelgaenger@rammstein.com before 3:00 pm on May 28, 2004. Include your height, weight, address, and telephone / cell phone number. You should also include pictures of yourself as attachments to the mail that prove the resemblance to us. URGENT!!! Double needed! URGENT!!!I assume they need this person to take Richard's place for the shooting of the Mein Teil video, for whatever reason.
New Interview
The Rockhard interview from June 2004 has been added. The interview is in German, if you can do an accurate translation of it to English, it would be appreciated.
New Color Scheme
I changed the color scheme of the site. The gray/teal scheme was kind of drab, I wanted something a little more colorful this time. Don't worry, you'll get used to it. ;)

Mein Teil
Rammstein have confirmed that the first single will be released June 14th. I am guessing that this single will be a Europe only release like the previous singles from the other albums. The name of the single is Mein Teil, its translation depends on the context of the song. Without knowing the lyrics yet, it might mean My Part or My Piece.

Album being mixed
According to management, the album is still being mixed and some of the songs are completely mixed. They have not officially decided on a single or release dates for the single or album.
