Rammstein Release New Single And Video, ‘Zick Zack’
‘Zeit’ is out April 29.
At the beginning of April, rumors had spread in Berlin that legendary band Rammstein had invested in a “beauty clinic” by the name of “Zick Zack.” Fans around the world called the “Zick Zack” hotline to make an appointment, find out more about the clinic or even to talk to the team of experts. It turns out the idea was a new song and video, but fans were nevertheless thrilled.

Of course, the two-track single CD is included with the magazine.
“Zick Zack” will also be released on 7” black vinyl. Boys Noize supplied the remix to the song. Both physical formats will be released on April 13.
