RAMMSTEIN Keyboardist Christian "Flake" Lorenz Featured In New Video Interview; Comments On Songwriting For New Album

Rammstein keyboardist Christian "Flake" Lorenz spoke with Kaaos TV at Provinssi in Seinäjoki, Finland on July 2nd about work progressing on a new album, or not. He also commented on the new song "Ramm 4", which the band has been kicking off their live shows with in recent months.

Lorenz: "We wanted to show the world that we are still together and that we are playing and making new music."

On June 11th, Rammstein performed at the Pinkpop festival in Landgraaf, The Netherlands. Pro-shot footage of the band performing new song "Ramm 4", "Du Riechst So Gut" and "Du Hast" is available below.

Back in April, Rammstein filed a lawsuit against Germany for having temporarily indexed their 2009 album Liebe Ist Für Alle Da. The Federal Department For Media Harmful To Young Persons, a German governmental agency responsible for listing works that could potentially harm youths, had decided that one of the songs of the album, "Ich Tu Dir Weh" as well as the pictures in the booklet accompanying the CD, were "brutalizing" and "immoral." The entire album was indexed.

Once a work gets listed by the organization, it may not be advertised and can only be sold under strict conditions - limiting its potential success. Rammstein is seeking 66,000 euros (nearly $75,000) in damages.

The Administrative Court in Cologne, Germany removed the album from the list of morally harmful works after half a year, claiming the classification to be unlawful, as it neglected considerations of artistic freedom in its decision.
