Over twee weken komt het debuutalbum Skills In Pills van de metalband Lindemann uit. De band heeft nu drie previews op hun website geplaatst. Het gaat om de nummers “Ladyboy”, “Fat” en “Yukon”. Je kunt ze hier beluisteren.

Zanger, Till Lindemann, sprak onlangs met Revolver Magazine over zijn besluit om Engels te zingen voor dit album.

“At first, I didn’t like the English sound of my voice, and so it took some time getting into it, because I never really did it before and wanted to experiment. But now I’ve become very proud of the way it sounds. I wanted to use this language to represent English-speaking people. Nobody speaks German outside of Germany. So I wanted to provide more access to my thoughts and lyrics to the people in Chile and Russia and France or whatever. It’s a new horizon right now.”

“I think the whole aesthetic of the Lindemann music is totally different to that of Rammstein. It’s more gothic, filled with more melodies, and isn’t as harsh music as Rammstein. Rammstein’s music demands German lyrics. But I feel that Peter and I found a great way to frame the English vocals. It’s a big difference. Doing this with English, it was like a totally new garden was opened. In German, there are only so many things you can write about. With English, I opened the gates and I entered the garden, and I plucked my cherries. Everything was totally new.”
