Rammstein's Till Lindemann and Hypocrisy Guitarist Peter Tägtgren Collaborating on New Project "Lindemann"

We know that we're not looking for a new Rammstein album at any point in the near future, so what else can we expect from the members of the German industrial rock group? It would seem, based on a new Facebook page, that vocalist Till Lindemann is working on a potential solo project alongside Swedish guitarist Peter Tägtgren. According to the Facebook update the project is simply working under the title "Lindemann" but don't expect his cohort to stick to the background.

What kind of music should you expect from the new act? More industrial rock would be the obvious guess based on Lindemann's day job and Tägtgren's side job as the one-man act PAIN. However the Swedish multi-instrumentalist also plays guitar in death metal band Hypocrisy so perhaps the new sound will be even heavier than Rammstein.

The Facebook page isn't too helpful except to suggest that the new project won't be too cheerful. Three images have been posted thus far, two with icons for the new group and another featuring the two musicians in an uncomfortable wedding portrait pose: Lindemann is the groom in typical paleface makeup, while Tägtgren is the bride...complete with goat legs or similar. No information has been uploaded to the "about" section yet but more than 10,000 fans have already granted it "like" status.

Hardcore Rammstein fans don't need to worry about that band crumbling however. Guitarist Richard Kruspe, who is working on his own side project Emigrate right now, confirmed that his primary band would rather take its time between albums at this point.

"At 18 or 20, it's natural to have a gang around you," he said. "But in your 40s or 50s, it's not normal to be around five guys the whole year. Because normally you'd start a family, have children. It's like a marriage with six guys who are never having sex. People get frustrated!"
