In a groundbreaking announcement that’s sending shockwaves through the metal world, legendary metal queen Doro Pesch and Till Lindemann, the provocative frontman of Rammstein, have confirmed a joint studio album set for release in early 2026. This unexpected collaboration unites two of Germany’s most iconic voices in heavy music — and the result promises to be nothing short of thunderous.
The announcement came during a dramatic press event in Berlin, where the pair appeared together for the first time in years. “This album is about power, passion, pain, and survival,” said Doro, radiating the same electric energy that has defined her career for over four decades. “Till and I come from different corners of the metal world, but when we met in the studio, the chemistry was instant. We pushed each other to new extremes.”
Lindemann, true to his poetic and often enigmatic style, described the album as “a storm that breathes and bleeds — it’s beautiful, brutal, and born from chaos.”
The still-untitled project will feature 10 original tracks, combining Doro’s soaring, melodic power with Lindemann’s deep, dramatic intensity. Sources close to the production describe the sound as a haunting blend of industrial metal, theatrical ballads, and anthemic power metal, pushing both artists into fresh sonic territory.
Among the early standout tracks are “Schwarzherz” (“Black Heart”) — a slow-burning lament steeped in loss and longing — and “Ewig wie das Feuer” (“Eternal Like Fire”), a blazing duet described as “pure apocalypse in melody.” Both tracks are expected to lead the album’s promotional campaign.
The record was written and recorded across multiple studios in Hamburg, Berlin, and Stockholm, and features production by longtime Rammstein collaborator Olsen Involtini and Doro’s veteran team from Nuclear Blast Records.
The two previously shared a stage briefly in 2019, sparking rumors of a possible collaboration. But few expected a full-length album — let alone one that’s shaping up to be a genre-defying landmark. “This is more than just music,” said Doro. “It’s a statement. It’s about unity through intensity.”
To top it off, a world tour is in the works for late 2026, with a focus on immersive live performances, theatrical visuals, and a co-headlining experience that promises to be both brutal and beautiful.
With two titans of metal forging a new path together, the upcoming Doro x Lindemann album is poised to become one of the most anticipated rock releases in years — a union of fire and steel, melody and madness.
