The album is a culmination of the relationship troubles of 5 of 6 band members, hence the title "Herzeleid".

[edit] Trivia

  • The album's original cover depicted the bandmembers' upper bodies without clothing. This caused critics to accuse the band of trying to sell themselves as "poster boys for the Master Race" [1].
  • The song "Weißes Fleisch" was covered by Debauchery in 2007 on the album Back in Blood
  • The songs "Heirate Mich" and "Rammstein" featured in David Lynch's Lost Highway movie.
