Haifisch Plus Drums

Trevor and Joe from Combichrist joined Rammstein on stage for Ich Will and Haifisch in Zagreb, March, while one of the others (Z_marr) took Flake's boat for a spin:



I found this on Joe's Combichrist blog.

Haifisch Single US Track-list

The Gauntlet has this up this morning. Note the changes...

LILT: Haifisch 3.0

Promoted without change:

We hold with each other
We all take each other's crap
We hold to one another
None will hold us back

We're holding true to you all
We hold onto that vow
We will uphold all the rules
If our rule is allowed

And the shark weeps very real tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

We hold to the tempo
We hold true in good faith
When one does not keep up
We hold up right away

We're holding our eyes open
We hold against the storm
Six hearts that are burning
Our fire holds such warmth

And the shark weeps very real tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

In the depths it is so lonesome
And so many tears run free
And that is how it has happened
That it's salty in the sea

They hold beliefs they want
To hold about us all
We hold each other sound
We never will hold still

And the shark weeps very real tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

In the depths it is so lonesome
And so many tears run free
And that is how it has happened
That it's salty in the sea

And the shark weeps very real tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

Haifisch Single Details Announced

Rammstein's third single release details are up on the official site:

We are happy to finally announce the release date for the “Haifisch” single. The single will be in German, Austrian and Swiss stores on May, 28 2010. In the USA it will be available on June, 1st 2010, in all other countries on May, 31st 2010.


Tracklist

1. Haifisch
2. Highswing RMX by Olsen Involtini
3. Remix by Hurts
4. Remix by Schwefelgelb

Haifisch Video on iTunes

I just bought it. The NZ iTunes store is generally incredibly tragic when it comes to selection and time, so I expect those of you in more Rammstein-oriented markets should have it too. ITDW was only available in the NZ store for a short while and the only video available until Haifisch just turned up was Benzin.

Anyway, if you're interested go and see if it's in your store.

Haifisch Single

The Gauntlet has confirmed the tracklist:

1 Haifisch (Single edit)
2 Haifisch (Haiswing remix by Olsen Involtini)
3 Rammlied (Hurts Remix)
4 Ich tu dir weh (Schwefelgelb Remix)

w00!

Down & Out

You have probably noticed that the new video is not available just now. This is, I suspect, because it was released earlier than planned. I hope they put it back into service soon.

It may also be because of the load. A lot of people viewed it, and the performance from MySpace's systems was pretty poor. I watched the video in ten to twenty second chapters, as the service struggled to cope, and have read about others having a similar experience. I would think that if MySpace felt the load was too high they would simply make the video unavailable, as is their right.

Here's to MySpace increasing the resource pool for their video service, because if a Rammstein premiere can do that I can't begin to imagine what a more globally popular band's release would do to their network.

The Till is Dead - Long Live The Till

Oh yeah, I missed it. A Rammstein premiere. Gah! That will teach me for having gainful employment and living in bloody New Zealand. Haifisch, with all the narrative and humour we've come to expect, and a few nice flash-backs thrown in for good measure...with twists. It's a good video. Not quite up there with Ich Will, in my opinion, but damned good.

Also, apparently people in other countries can get the entire Rammstein video catalogue from iTunes. I can't. Once again living in the most beautiful place in the world burns me.

Confirmation for Haifisch

The video premiers this Friday on MySpace, and the single is coming in May (date to be confirmed soon on The Gauntlet). Obviously this one is not an R18 video...

Haifisch? Bless You

Soon, right? It can't be far off. A small hint, possibly about how and where, has come from The Gauntlet. He's queried Herzeleid users as to how many have MySpace accounts. Yeah, I know, it's obscure, but possibly very useful information.

LILT: Haifisch 2.2

I told you not to hold me to it:

We hold with each other
We all take each other's crap
We hold to one another
None will hold us back

We're holding true to you all
We hold onto that vow
We will uphold all the rules
If our rule is allowed

And the shark weeps very real tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

We hold to the tempo
We hold true in good faith
When one does not keep up
We hold up right away

We're holding our eyes open
We hold against the storm
Six hearts that are burning
Our fire holds such warmth

And the shark weeps very real tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

In the depths it is so lonesome
And so many tears run free
And that is how it has happened
That it's salty in the sea

They hold beliefs they want
To hold about us all
We hold each other sound
We never will hold still

And the shark weeps very real tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

In the depths it is so lonesome
And so many tears run free
And that is how it has happened
That it's salty in the sea

And the shark weeps very real tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

Shark Attack!

Thanks to Magdalena for sharing the link.

LILT: Haifisch 2.1

I think this is close to finished. Don't quote me on that though:

We hold with each other
We all take each other's crap
We hold to one another
None will hold us back

We're holding true to you all
We hold onto that vow
We will uphold all the rules
If our rule is allowed

And the shark weeps very real tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

We hold to the tempo
We hold true in good faith
When one does not keep up
We hold up right away

We hold all of our eyes open
We hold against the storm
Six hearts that are burning
Our fire holds such warmth

And the shark weeps very real tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

In the depths it is so lonesome
And so many tears run free
And that is how it has happened
That it's salty in the sea

They can think what they want
To think about us all
We hold each other sound
We never will hold still

And the shark weeps very real tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

In the depths it is so lonesome
And so many tears run free
And that is how it has happened
That it's salty in the sea

And the shark weeps very real tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

LILT: Haifisch 2.0

This one eludes me a bit. I like what I've got, but it lacks elegance in the effort to 'hold to' the original German:

We hold with each other
We all take each other's crap
We hold to one another
None will hold us back

We're holding true to you all
We hold onto that vow
We will hold true to the rules
If our rule is allowed

And the shark weeps so many tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

We hold to the tempo
We hold true in good faith
When one does not keep up
We hold up right away

We hold both of our eyes open
We hold against the storm
Six hearts that are burning
Our fire holds such warmth

And the shark weeps so many tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

In the depths it is so lonesome
And so many tears run free
And that is how it has happened
That it's salty in the sea

They can think what they want
To think about us all
We hold each other sound
We never will hold still

And the shark weeps so many tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

In the depths it is so lonesome
And so many tears run free
And that is how it has happened
That it's salty in the sea

And the shark weeps so many tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

LILT: Haifisch 1.2

We hold with each other
We will take each other's crap
We hold to one another
None will hold us back

We're holding true to you all
We hold true to our vows
We will hold true to the rules
If our rule is allowed

And the shark weeps so many tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

We hold to the tempo
We hold true to our faith
When one does not keep up
We hold up right away

We all hold our eyes open
We hold against the storm
Six hearts that are burning
Our fire holds such warmth

And the shark weeps so many tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

In the depths it is so lonesome
And so many tears run free
And that's why the ocean's water
Has come to be so salty

They can think what they want
To think about us all
We hold each other sound
We never will hold still

And the shark weeps so many tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

In the depths it is so lonesome
And so many tears run free
And that's why the ocean's water
Has come to be so salty

And the shark weeps so many tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

Heitmann for Haifisch

Only the other day I tweeted to another Rammstein fan that I was hoping for Jörn Heitmann to be commissioned for the next Rammstein video, and what do you know, my wish has been granted! This is great news.

Thanks to theonemcp for pointing this one out.

LILT: Haifisch 1.0

This is incredibly quick and dirty, because I've wrung the time to do it out of my day, but it's a good start, I think:

We hold with each other
We take one another's crap
We hold to one another
None will hold us back

We're holding true to you all
We hold true to that vow
We will hold true to the rules
If our rule is allowed

And the shark weeps so many tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

We hold to the tempo
We hold true to our faith
When one does not keep up
We hold up right away

We all hold our eyes open
We hold each other's arms
Six hearts that are burning
That fire holds such warmth

And the shark weeps so many tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

In the depths it is so lonely
And so many tears run free
And that's why the ocean's water
Comes to be so salty

They can think what they want
To think about us all
We hold each other safe
We never will hold still

And the shark weeps so many tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace

In the depths it is so lonely
And so many tears run free
And that's why the ocean's water
Comes to be so salty

And the shark weeps so many tears
And they're running down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So nobody sees a trace
