Sehnsucht

Sehnsucht is the second studio album by Rammstein.

The album
Recording for the album started in late 1996 in Malta. The first single "Engel" was released in April, alongside Engel Fan Edition which included exclusive B-Sides "Feuerrader" and "Wilder Wein". Feuerrader has not been performed live since 1996, and Wilder Wein was not performed between mid-1995 and 1998, but made a comeback in 1998 on the Sehnsucht tour. Later in April the single "Du hast" was released, and is their most well known signature song. The thour for Sehnsucht began in 1997, and is the longest tour Rammstein has done, lasting until 2000, and 2001 if Big Day Out is included. It began at Bizarre Festival 1997, where Rammstein previously played in 1996, this time headlining the main stage and having a full televised performance of each song played. Alter Mann was played at a few early dates in 1997 but was dropped. The Sehnsucht tour is also the last tour where Seemann was performed on a regular basis. A fan favourite and a staple of the band's setlist since it debuted at the Saalfeld New Year's concert in 1994, it was last performed in San Francisco in 1999. Although it returned for the first dates of the Liebe ist fuer alle da tour in 2009, it was dropped again by 2010. The concert at Parkbuhe Wuhlheide Berlin was recorded professionally in 1998 and was released as a CD and video in 1999 as Live aus Berlin, and a DVD in 2000.
