Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann has unveiled a new stand-alone solo single titled “Meine Welt” (stream below).

The song did not appear on Lindemann’s recent debut solo album, Zunge, which arrived on November 3rd of this year. However, the song title does serve as the name of Lindemann’s recently announced Fall 2025 European/UK tour.

The fall headlining tour kicks off October 29th in Leipzig, Germany, and runs through a December 16th concert in Stuttgart, Germany. Before that, Lindemann will play a series of European rock festivals in June and July. See the dates in the posters below, and pick up tickets here.

Lindemann wrapped up his first-ever solo tour of North America in late October. For that outing, his band was made up of guitar players Jes Paige and Emily Ruvidich, bassist Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails), keyboardist Constance Day, and drummer Joe Letz (Combichrist).

Meanwhile, Rammstein’s last album was 2022’s Zeit.

Nine Inch Nails, the band headlined by musician Trent Reznor, is composing the score for Tron: Ares, Disney announced Friday at D23.

The reveal occurred during a first-look at the sci-fi movie that is being headlined by Jared Leto and directed by Joachim Ronning.

And featured some snippets of the score work done so far. The previous installment, Tron: Legacy, had a genre-defining score from Daft Punk, so when it came to the new movie, the bar is set high.

Reznor created Nin in the late 1980s as an industrial hard rock band even though for the albums, it was the Reznor himself who was composing and playing the instruments. However, when Nin toured, the frontman assembled members who rotated in and out. The band was hugely influential in the 1990s and racked up numerous Grammy nominations and a couple of wins for songs “Wish” and “Happiness in Slavery.”

Nine Inch Nails were finally able to celebrate their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction this weekend in their native Cleveland, which included a Saturday night concert that featured the return of several former members from the band’s Pretty Hate Machine era.

Although Trent Reznor and company were inducted into the Rock Hall in 2020, the event was scaled down to a television-only special due to the Covid-19 pandemic; a Cleveland celebration was then scheduled for 2021, only to be postponed again. Two years removed from the induction, the band...

Trent Reznor reflected on Nine Inch Nails’ past and looked forward to their future in his speech marking the band’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Following an introduction from Iggy Pop, the frontman opened by acknowledging the surreal nature of this year’s virtual event. He said when he found out Nine Inch Nails had been selected for the class of 2020, the thing he was most looking forward to was getting together with bandmates past and present at the ceremony. Now, he added, “We’re...

Kat Von D has revealed that her long-awaited debut album will feature drums by “dearest friend” Dave Grohl.

Late Thursday night, the tattoo artist and "L.A. Ink" star tweeted out “Dave Grohl is ruling so hard right now!” to her 1.5 million followers from a recording studio.

This isn't the first time the two have helped each other out: last year Von D tattooed large feathers on his forearms.

According to her tweets, Grohl and producer Danny Lohner (of Nine Inch Nails fame) finished two tracks last night. She snapped a photo of the two over a mixing board. “Recording this music w my dearest friends makes this album the most important thing I've ever poured my heart into. Thank you Dave and [Danny] >3”, wrote Von D for the caption.

She then posted two short Instagram videos of the track “Lost at Sea,” a song co-written by Canadian Kevin “Kevvy Metal...

Linkin Park and Evanescence are among the artists featured on the upcoming Underworld: Awakening soundtrack. The Cure and Lacuna Coil will also appear on the album for the fourth movie in the Underworld series starring Kate Beckinsale. Many of the tracks receive a remix from Renholder (Danny Lohner), who had also produced remixes for the previous Underworld film, as well as being a member of Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. Underworld: Awakening is released at cinemas on January 20, with the soundtrack released three days earlier. Linkin Park are currently working on their follow-up album to 2010's A Thousand Suns. > Underworld Awakening: Kate Beckinsale's vampire movie in pictures The tracklisting in full: Evanescence - 'Made of Stone' (Renholder (more)...

Get out the guyliner! The "Underworld Awakening" soundtrack is here and its giving new life to a bunch of bands we didn't know people still listened to...remix style! Taking a trip back to your brother's awful collection of CDs during the 1990s, alterna-music player Renholdër (aka Danny Lohner) -- who has worked with Trent Reznor and dudes from Korn, Limp Bizkit and Blink-182 -- has twiddled the knobs on a bunch of tunes. Evanescence, Linkin Park, The Cure, Ministry and The Naked And Famous all get reworked by Lohner on the soundtrack that seems to favor tweaked out versions of alterna-jamz. The most potentially "interesting" track will likely be Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman's redo of Lacuna Coil's "Trip The Darkness." We mostly just hope he drops a ridonkulous solo over the whole thing. As for the rest of the soundtrack, it's a bunch of alterna-stuff we...

After rescheduling two out of the four Los Angeles dates on the "Wave Goodbye" tour, Nine Inch Nails pulled out all the stops for their California fans, wrapping up the band's live farewell with a show at the Wiltern last night, which featured a guest appearance from Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro on three tunes.

What tricks were up mastermind Trent Reznor's sleeve this week? While New York fans were treated to a performance of the entirety of The Downward Spiral and guest appearances by Bauhaus' Peter Murphy, the Los Angeles shows has secrets of their own. Gary Numan joined the band at the Echoplex on September 6 and again at the Henry Fonda Theater on September 8. The Echoplex — a dingy, overheated basement club venue which shares its name with a song on the 2008 album Nin The Slip — was the perfect setting for Reznor's rage-filled, claustrophobic songs.

As I write this, the padding in this cell is making me itch. It’s some kind of canvas-like material, beige, and very scratchy. It’s hard to write on and my fingers are so desiccated from blood loss that I’m almost out of ‘ink. I don’t like the light, it’s too bright by far, and the paper pajamas I’m wearing are starting to fall apart. They’re wet, largely because I was awoken this morning by an orderly that looked a lot like Doctor Raven (I think it was really James Zahn) in drag, throwing a large bucket of luke-warm water at me while yelling ‘Winna, Winna, Chickee Dinna!’ Suffice to say, it hasn’t been a good morning. However, he also threw in an album to review, and an axe to grind. Why do they continue giving me axes? Aren’t I supposed to be getting better?...

Hollywood Undead can’t be pigeonholed into one genre, and that’s the last thing they’d want. A group of guys from the streets of Hollywood, California that bring everything to the table i hip-hop, rock and metal -masterfully creating a style and sound that’s uniquely their own. Deuce, Johnny 3 Tears, J-Dog, Charlie Scene, Funny Man and Da Kurlzz are set to drop a musical bomb with their forthcoming debut album on A&M/Octone. The album, with songs produced by Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails), Don Gilmore (Linkin Park) and Deuce, includes album opener “Undead,” which sets the tone, firing off a big melody and buoyant beats while track “No. 5″ dissects the frivolities of Hollywood with witty, catchy choruses and “Los Angeles” [...]...
