It's a new project and it will continue, and will be always a part of me."Regarding his decision to launch a band that was different from what he does with RAMMSTEIN, Kruspe said: "It was really important for me to distance myself from what I did with RAMMSTEIN because [several] years I did not feel healthy being in that band. I needed something else. EMIGRATE was formed to balance myself out to cure myself to go back to RAMMSTEIN and be back at the top of my game. Both with RAMMSTEIN and with EMIGRATE."
