German industrial metallers RAMMSTEIN are hoping to release their new album in early 2019.

"We all go into the mixing desk and I had my PL1 prototype going direct.

We liked the sound of it so much that we've decided to make the record more of a band-unit recording than a bunch of guys playing separately." Landers added: "We'll have to see how it all ends up on the record, but the basic idea is you are hearing a band playing — you could say it's inspired by our live sound."
