Writing and recording


From September to December 1999, the band rented the house Weimar in Heiligendamm on the Baltic Sea for pre-production. The sound recordings took place in May and June 2000 at Studio Miraval in southern France. Already over Christmas 2000, Rammstein released the song "Links 2 3 4" on their website for download. In January 2001 the video was released, in February the single "Sonne".

In 2005, Mutter was ranked number 324 in Rock Hard magazine's book The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.[11]

In a 2016 article published by uDiscover, Oran O'Beirne described the album as "one of the most important contemporary releases within heavy metal’s many subgenres."[12]

In the interview with Noizr Zine, the well-known Swedish producer and musician Peter Tägtgren advised "Mutter" as a reference work for beginner producers:

"I think, if you are not into death metal or something like that, but if you are into metal, I would say maybe Rammstein’s "Mutter" is very good, because it has a lot of different elements, it has orchestra parts, heavy guitars, good drum sound — that could be a good reference."[13]

[ru] Mutter (альбом)

Mutter (с нем. — «Мать») — третий студийный альбом немецкой метал-группы Rammstein. Вышел 2 апреля 2001 года. Альбом записывался в Германии, Франции, Швеции и Америке[12]. Журнал Metal Hammer включил Mutter в 200 лучших рок-альбомов всех времён (в стиле индастриал-метал, 4-е место)[13]. В интервью Noizr Zine шведский продюсер и музыкант Петер Тэгтгрен посоветовал Mutter в качестве ориентира всем начинающим метал-продюсерам: «Он очень хорош, потому что в нём много различных элементов — в нём есть оркестровые партии, тяжёлые гитары, хорошее звучание барабанов — он может быть хорошим ориентиром»[14].
