Writer Kiepenheuer & Witsch has dropped Rammstein frontman Until Lindemann as a consumer. The writer cites allegations against Lindemann after a show in Lithuania, in addition to utilization of his 2013 ebook In stillen Nächten in a porn video that allegedly “celebrates sexual violence towards ladies.”
Kiepenheuer & Witsch revealed each Lindemann‘s 2013 ebook In stillen Nächten and 2020 ebook 100 Gedichte. The assertion comes from Germany’s Metal Hammer, as initially reported on by MetalSucks.
“It’s with shock that we’ve got adopted public allegations towards Until Lindemann in the previous few days. Our sympathy and respect goes to the ladies affected,” stated Kiepenheuer & Witsch of their determination to drop Lindemann.
“In the midst of present reporting, we grew to become conscious of a porn video during which Until Lindemann celebrates sexual violence towards ladies and during which the 2013 ebook In stillen Nächten revealed by Kiepenheuer & Witsch performs a task. We charge this as gross breach of belief and as a ruthless act in relation to the values we symbolize as a writer.
“We defend the liberty of artwork with full conviction. By way of Until Lindemann‘s actions that humiliate ladies within the aforementioned porn and the focused use of our ebook in a pornographic context, the separation between the ‘lyrical I’ and the writer/artist, which we so staunchly defended, is mocked by the writer himself.
“From our viewpoint, Until Lindemann exceeds immovable limits in coping with ladies. We’ve got due to this fact determined to finish our collaboration with Until Lindemann with fast impact, as our relationship of belief with the writer has been irretrievably damaged.”
Rammstein has denied the claims towards them regarding the Lithuanian present, saying “With regard to the allegations circulating on the web about Vilnius, we are able to rule out the chance that what’s being claimed passed off in the environment. We aren’t conscious of any official investigations into this matter.”
German information channel Tagesschau has since published a separate report with allegations towards Lindemann by a number of ladies. As of proper now, Rammstein has not responded to those allegations, and they need to be handled as such – allegations.
