Many of you Rammstein fans out there already know that their guitarist Richard Kruspe has been working on his solo project Emigrate for the past few years. For those of you who didn’t know, this is the time to start paying attention. Richard, who has reportedly been working with Clawfinger (they are Swedish, but still a great band) drummer Henka Johansson and Axel Bauer (French) bassist Arnaud Giroux, is finally nearing completion of his debut album which is also called Emigrate. It is scheduled to be released on August 31st which is a Friday. This means that the album will most likely be released in Germany (and possibly other European countries) but there is no news about an American release yet.
