'Powerful, mechanical, dark, hypnotic and insane, 'Herzeleid' is altogether a different style of music and it can scarcely be criticized due to huge amounts of talent, innovation and creativity invested in this album. Retrospectively, amongst 'Herzeleid', 'Sehnsucht' and 'Mutter', my pick would be this one as the usual rawness of debut albums has forgotten to show up on 'Herzeleid'. A majestic first effort for a no less majestic band, this masterpiece deserves a special place in your collection.' (Dream Taster, metalstorm.net)

Herzeleid (German pronunciation: [ˈhɛɐ̯zɛlaɪd]; 'Heartache') is the debut album by German Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein, first released on 25 September 1995 via Motor Music.
Background[edit]
Writing[edit]
The first song written for this album was 'Rammstein', which was also the first song ever written by the band. The last song to be written was most likely 'Asche zu Asche' since it was not played at their concerts in 1994, unlike all the other songs. A few songs were written in English before they were translated into German. There are also songs from that era that did not make it onto the album, including:
- 'Jeder lacht' (lyrics were later re-used for 'Adios' from Mutter)
- 'Schwarzes Glas'
- 'Wilder Wein' (later released as a demo version on Engel: Fan-Edition, a finished live version appeared on Live aus Berlin)
- 'Alter Mann' (later released on Sehnsucht with new music and slightly different lyrics)
- 'Feuerräder'[1] (later released on Engel: Fan-Edition, still in demo phase)
- 'Tier' (1994) (also referred to as 'Biest', a fanmade title. Not to be confused with the later released 'Tier' from Sehnsucht)
- 'Tiefer gelegt'
- 'Sadist'[2] (performed once under this name, at a concert on 11 October 1996 in Magdeburg, Germany;[3][4] was released under a different title on the album Sehnsucht, though it is unclear which one it is[1])
Rammstein News
Artwork[edit]
The original cover caused controversy when it was originally revealed. It shows the band topless and sweaty. The press said Rammstein depicted themselves in this image as 'Herrenmenschen'.[5] Guitarist Kruspe said: 'Das ist völliger Quatsch, das ist einfach nur ein Foto' ('Totally stupid. It's just a photo'). Till Lindemann added, that it was a quick shot on a parking lot somewhere in Berlin. North American versions had a different cover, consisting of the band members' faces from the inside of the original booklet, placed side-by-side.
Rammstein's first commercial logo was made for Herzeleid by Dirk Rudolph.[citation needed] This variation uses a thinner 'T' character than what is used in later logos.
Release[edit]
- Herzeleid was released on CD in many countries; The US and Canadian versions had alternative front covers, and were released by Slash Records, but still retained the same songs as on the German version. XIII Bis Records in France released Herzeleid on CD, as well as most of Rammstein's releases before 1999.
- Some editions of the Herzeleid CD were censored. Some copies had the words 'Schulhof' (school yard) and 'töten' (kill) beeped out during Weisses Fleisch, and other versions had these words removed from the CD's lyric booklet, but not from the song itself.
- South Korean CDs excluded the song 'Das alte Leid' from the tracklist and booklet, although the track is still on the CD.
- Countries such as South Korea, Poland, Germany and the US (among others) produced commercial cassettes for the album. European countries received cassettes featuring the original cover, but US cassettes featured the different cover that they also used on CDs.
- A very scarce number of German CDs were released with stickers to promote Rammstein's concert on 27 September 1996 slotted in the back of the case, in front of the insert artwork.
- A Motor Music pre-release cassette of the album was issued; there are two different variations of this tape, but the only difference is the appearance of the eszett (ß) character used in the title of 'Weisses Fleisch'.
- The first time Herzeleid has ever been released on vinyl was on the XXI boxset, and the subsequently released individual LPs from said boxset.
- A remastered version of the album was released on December 4, 2020.[6]
