In February 2021, Flake Lorenz confirmed to Motor Music that the band had finished recording an eighth studio album. Lorenz stated that the recording sessions were unplanned and that the quarantine caused by the pandemic allowed for “less distraction” and “more time to think of new things”. In October 2021, a song from the album was premiered on the International Space Station to French astronaut Thomas Pesquet . According to composer Sven Helbig , who worked on the album, the album’s release had been delayed due to the 2021–2023 global supply chain crisis , which impacted the album’s physical releases. Richard Kruspe affirmed in an interview that Rammstein’s eighth studio album would be released in the first half of 2022, prior to the slated resumption of their Stadium Tour that had been postponed to 2022.
