About this deal

After all, the band hasits roots in the 1980s East German punk movement, who were dissidents of a politically repressive regime. The band's symbols are eagerly worn by their fans Image: picture-alliance/dpa/C. Soeder Not allofthe horror comes from Lindemann's pen. Some of the frontman's lyrics are inspired by classical German literature, exemplified by the most prominent poet in the language, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Goethe's famous ballad Erlkönig, for example, translated: Goethe and Lindemann Guitar recording, editing and additional guitar production by Sky van Hoff at Studio Engine 55, Berlin Mutter had been written in the winter of the millennium, and recorded in the summer of 2000. Their success in Germany had brought big hopes for the album, as well as a bigger production budget which enabled them to work in Studio Miraval in southern France. For scale, this facility had previously been used by Pink Floyd to make The Wall, Judas Priest for Painkiller, and AC/DC to do Blow Up Your Video. The trauma of a country divided into two states and the building of a wall to separate them can clearly be heard in Rammstein, says Schiller —particularly in the song "Mein Land" (My Country) from the best-of album, Made in Germany(2011).

A man is slaughtered and eaten, a girl confined in a basement by a rapist, a man driven to death by a mob. Shelby Lynn from Northern Ireland, who attended a Rammstein concert in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, told the BBC she suspected her drink had been spiked and that she had been “groomed for sex” with Lindemann. She has said she did not have sex with the frontman.In the Rammstein song, the "King of the Winds" endeavors to claim the boy, who finally dies in his father's arms, held too tightly in anticipation of an airplane crash. It's known that the gunmen in the Columbine High School massacre in 1999 were Rammstein fans. In the weeks after the shooting, several US and British radio stations removed the band's songs from their playlists. That sounds like Rammstein could perform in a cotton-candy German Schlager show, with the audience merrily clapping along on the first and third beats of a four-four bar. But listen to the complete lyrics, and the comfort zone ends here: We are hardcore gamers and video game news, video games, pc games, pc gaming news, X-Box, PS4 and Nintendo news plus video game trailers you will find plenty of here. Are you playing Fortnite?

In "Hilf mir" (Help Me), the narrator plays with fire and then burns —just like the iconic Paulinchen in the old, but in Germany ever-popular book Der Struwwelpeter from the mid-19th century, in which the author Heinrich Hoffmann warned children of dangers by telling macabre tales.The duel scene in "Roter Sand" (Red Sand) recalls the one in the novel Effie Briest by Theodor Fontane, also from the 19th century. Paulinchen in 'Struwwelpeter' Image: gemeinfrei There’s a reason the members of Rammstein step in front of the curtain at the end of every show sans instruments and bow like a Broadway cast. These guys love live theater and integrate themes from the art form. “Haifisch,” a highlight of Rammstein’s sixth album Liebe ist für alle da (2009) starts with dramatic horns and references Bertold Brecht’s Three Penny Opera in the chorus. The song builds with an evocative, slinky piano-and-synth rhythm and a shuffling beat that conjures images of the progressive art and culture that blossomed during the Weimar Republic. Mein Herz Brennt Lindemann, 60, has repeatedly denied the allegations through his lawyers, saying they were “without exception untrue”. On our first and second album, we were very dependent on samplers and computerised music machinery, even to write the songs,” added Paul Landers. “And with Mutter, we really based the songs on the guitar and are only using technology to enhance it, to give it flavour. So we didn’t want to be slaves of the machines anymore.”EpicHeroes have some geek tech videos and articles, cosplay, art, videos and so much more.

You could say that Rammstein not only exploit German stereotypes. They are a kind of German caricature, a grotesquely over-drawn representation of what it means to be German," explains Schiller. Surprisingly, "love" and "heart" are two of the words that turn up most frequently in texts by Rammstein —at least statistically, as revealed by an analysis of individual word roots vocalized in the songs on the band's seven studio albums.

Apart from literature, Rammstein references other elements of German culture and history. The music professor and musician Rob Burns found similarities between Till Lindemann's song texts and those of cabaret singers in the Weimar Republic. Costumes and sets from the band's live shows, he adds, echo the machinery aesthetics in Metropolis, Fritz Lang's expressionist film of1927. In a statement, a spokesperson for the Berlin public prosecution’s office said it had initiated preliminary proceedings against Lindemann “over allegations relating to sexual offences and the distribution of drugs”. Rammstein's exaggerations are so extreme that the band parades totalitarian ideologies in general, she says: "Rather than celebrating these ideologies, Rammstein shows how ridiculous they are."Aeneas Hohenadl, manager of the performance technician company Riggerwerk, told Die Welt the goings on behind the stage at Rammstein concerts were “an open secret”. He said that included the alleged deliberate placing of women in “row zero” – directly in front of the stage – so they could later be recruited during shows as potential sex partners for Lindemann. It’s ironic that one of the most commanding frontmen in music never actually started out as a singer. In the mid-80s, he drummed for underground punk band First Arsch, alongside future Rammstein bandmates Richard Kruspe and Paul Landers. It wasn’t until Rammstein formed in 1994 that he properly assumed the job of frontman, though with hindsight it seems to be a role he was born to. Still, he has always insisted that there’s more to his worldview than just 50 shades of lust. “I’m not obsessed with sex,” said the man who was a regular habitué of Berlin’s fetish clubs. “It’s a provocation, it’s a humour, and it’s the small, savoury spice in the stew that will make people listen up. It’s supposed to catch your attention. Nothing else.” Wait there is more! We love our tech, and we have tons of exciting features and articles in our Geek Tech section. From sci-fi related fictional tech to real-world tech that gets more sci-fi and comic booky by the day! In a 2015interview for the magazine Cicero, Till Lindemann explained: "I'm always supposed to analyze my texts, but I actually don't think about them all that much."

The rolled "R" and the hyper-clear pronunciation are typical not only of Till Lindemann's singing but also of the cliched depiction of Nazis in films worldwide. The band's logo recalls the cross of the Wehrmacht, the symbol of the armed forces in Nazi Germany. The performances include many pyrotechnics and spectacular lighting: These are things that, to Germans nowadays, uncomfortably recall the Nazi regime. On Wednesday, Lynn said she had appealed to Lithuanian police to rethink their decision not to pursue an investigation. Prior to this, Rammstein’s performances on UK soil had numbered two, and one of those was an appearance on MTV’s Hanging Out, for which they were billed as “David Lynch’s favourite band”. The other was a tiny show at London’s Powerhouse in November 1997, at which their famed firepower was diminished by the small venue and the law. Had they appeared on Channel 4’s EuroTrash, they would have fit well with the show’s double-edged ‘look at the crazy continentals having fun we’re missing out on’ banter. EpicHeroes are big fans of Marvel movies, Marvel figures, we are very excited about Marvel Heroes Omega coming to consoles. Don't forget we will also have Marvel toys and Marvel Legends news and Marvel videos. For the video accompanying their cover of Depeche Mode’s Stripped, the band had elected to use footage from Reich-era German filmmaker Leni Riefentsahl’s work Olympiad, from the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Riefentsahl had become a particular favourite of Hitler’s, after filming the 1934 Nuremberg rally for the infamous Nazi propaganda film Triumph Of The Will. It was meant to be artistic provocation. Not everyone saw it that way.Rammstein's music is a snapshot of society. And the political situation in Germany has undergone major changes in the past,let's say,five years," says Melanie Schiller, pointing to the debate over migration and flight in Europe and the resurgence of right-wing populism in Germany; the far-right populist party Alternative for Germanyhas been represented in all 16 state legislatures since 2018.
