Rammsteinin Richard Kruspe: ”Seuraava albumimme jää mahdollisesti myös viimeiseksi”

Saksalaisen industrial metal -jättiläisen, Rammsteinin, kitaristi Richard Kruspe antoi  taannoin bändin Resurrection Fest -keikan yhteydessä Espanjassa videohaastattelun, jossa hän kertoi yhtyeen seuraavan albumin jäävän mahdollisesti yhtyeen uran viimeiseksi albumiksi. Haastattelussa Kruspe paljasti yhtyeen lähes hajonneen edellisen albumin nauhoitusten aikaan, ja tämänkin albumin kirjoittamisen olevan työn ja tuskan takana. Albumin kirjoittamisesta hän kertoi seuraavaa:

”I was very skeptical to go back with RAMMSTEIN into the studio because last time we almost broke up because of making a record. So it’s just always very, very stressful and painful. And I think going through that experience I was a little nervous about that. And we came up with a deal or an agreement. We said that we wanna go back and only record maybe five songs to not put any pressure on us.

”We started, like, two years ago, and I can say just playing with the guys, for some reason, it was very natural and I had a lot of fun,” he continued. ”And since then we’ve just created around twenty-eight ideas — I wouldn’t say ’songs’ but ideas. And somehow we managed to move back to the beginning of the world of RAMMSTEIN where we, basically, are very emotional and very enthusiastic about writing again. It wasn’t like that before. We came back to a point that everyone is really respecting the other one, and it feels kind of like a circle almost that we start from zero again, which feels nice. It’s kind of like you’ve been through all the problems, which you have when you play with the same lineup for twenty-two years, which is difficult. A lot of bands, they can’t really stay there because they’re changing people, and we don’t really believe in that. We’ve been through a lot of downs, and there were probably a lot of moments where I felt like ’I don’t wanna do it anymore, I don’t wann be in a band anymore’ but somehow we’ve managed it through talking and communication to stay together. So here we are writing and feeling very good about it so I’m pleased.”

Kysyttäessä, millaista materiaalia tulevalta albumilta voidaan odottaa, kertoi Richard Kruspe yllättäen saaneensa ”tunteen”, jonka mukaan tuleva albumi saattaa jäädä jopa yhtyeen viimeiseksi. Kruspe kertoi aiheesta seuraavasti:

”Of course a band wants to always do the best album [it can] do at the moment. This time what we’re really gonna do is we’ll try changing the producer team. We’ve worked with our producer for the last six records and this time we felt like we need a chance, so at the moment we’re meeting new producers and finding what is the best for the team at the moment.

”I just feel like, for some reason, that it’s gonna be the last record we do. That’s a feeling — I can be wrong but just at the moment I feel like this is maybe the last [shot at making an album] we have and I wanna give two hundred percent in that and make it as good as it can be,” he added. ”When I listen to the stuff there’s so much potential and I’m very pleased about what we do at the moment. So I’m looking really forward to starting recording maybe next year.”
