Till Lindemann

Born in Leipzig in 1963 and raised between Mecklenburg and Rostock, Till Lindemann first became known on the German rock scene as the singer and lyricist of Rammstein, a group founded in the mid-1990s and associated with Neue Deutsche Härte, where industrial metal, martial rhythms and German singing intersect. Before this period, Till Lindemann played drums in the punk band First Arsch, whose album Saddle Up was released in 1992. His career later broadened to other collaborations, notably with Apocalyptica on Helden in 2007, the German adaptation of David Bowie’s Heroes. In 2015, Till Lindemann launched with Swedish musician Peter Tägtgren the project Lindemann, a duo oriented toward a more direct industrial and alternative metal, which released Skills in Pills in 2015 and F & M in 2019. After the end of this project, Lindemann developed solo activity under his own name, in a register mixing metal, dark rock, dramatic song and cabaret imagery. His first solo album, Zunge, was released in 2023. Parallel to music, Till Lindemann also publishes several volumes of poetry, a writing project that extends the raw, theatrical and often frontal universe of his lyrics.
