Emigrate

Richard Kruspe's project.

The project Richard Kruspe founded in 2005 and still keeps alive: four albums, a guest list that is hard to beat, and one rule unbroken in twenty years — it never plays live.

2005–present

Emigrate

Richard Z. Kruspe

Richard Kruspe's project: four albums, high-profile guests, and not a single concert.

Richard Kruspe founded Emigrate in 2005, during a Rammstein break and while living in New York, with himself on vocals and guitar. The four records — Emigrate (2007), Silent So Long (2014), A Million Degrees (2018) and The Persistence of Memory (2021) — move from straightforward industrial rock to electronic textures, with a guest list including Lemmy, Marilyn Manson, Jonathan Davis and Peaches.

One detail defines the project: Emigrate is a studio band and has never performed live. Till Lindemann did return the favour, though — he sings on “Let’s Go” and “Always On My Mind”.
