Emigrate. The one-time project has become more than that. Much more.
The three studio albums, EMIGRATE (2007), SILENT SO LONG (2014),
A MILLION DEGREES (2018), prove that squarely behind Emigrate stands Richard
Zven Kruspe – an extremely creative mind who needs the freedom to explore
his music and his vision in ways outside of Rammstein. With Emigrate there are
no limits, no barriers. Everything is possible, nothing held back, and it’s this
ethos that underlines THE PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY, the new studio album,
out now. It is a special jewel indeed bringing together ideas that Richard has
collected across the last two decades. Industrial Rock, Rock with electronic
elements, however you choose to describe it, there’s no question that the songs
here always contain a strong sense of melody, as rousing as they are deep.
This time, Richard tried to keep things as simple as possible, allowing the
creativity to flow, keeping his sights firmly set on pure, raw Emigrate songs.
"These songs were created at a certain point in my life, but ideas
don't have an expiration date. Sounds, lyrics and themes, on the other hand,
do." When it comes to the cover artwork - as with the debut and A MILLION DEGREES,
we see Richard's head taking pride of place. This time detached, floating alone, surrounded
by a field of stars as he looks to the heaven. A symbol of the universal that plays
such a big role in the new album.
"It's about creating worlds and looking at things from a different perspective."
