“Zick Zack,” the second single from Rammstein‘s forthcoming new album, Zeit, has just been released.
The song arrives on the heels of “Zeit,” the title track for the April 29 album, which was released in March after the band teased news about the follow-up to 2019’s untitled effort. That release marked the first new LP from Rammstein in a decade and, fortunately, fans haven’t had to endure nearly as long of a wait for new music from the industrial legends.
While “Zeit” tackled some dense themes, that’s not quite the case with “Zick Zack,” which appears fifth in the new record’s track listing. This one is a return to Rammstein’s cheekier side and confronts cosmetic surgery (read the English translation of the lyrics here).

After the release of 2019’s untitled album, Rammstein suggested it could be their very last, but due to unexpected downtime amid the pandemic, unable to play live, creativity swelled and the band traveled to France to get working on new material. “We recorded a record that we hadn’t planned on,” keyboardist Flake Lorenz said earlier this year.
This summer, Rammstein will finally embark on their long-awaited and twice-postponed North American stadium tour, which stretches from Aug. 21 through Oct. 4. Head here to see if the run is stopping at a city near you.
