One of the most well-known German bands. They started their characteristic Industrial sound with Herzeleid, which had powerful songs like "Asche Zu Asche" or "Du Riechst So Gut". Then came Sehnsucht, a musically more mature work ("Spiel Mit Mir", "Tier", "Engel") that included their hit "Du Hast". In 2001, Rammstein released their masterpiece Mutter (their best album so far in my opinion) with great songs like "Feuer Frei!", "Links 234" or "Spieluhr".
After the release of "Mutter", many Rammstein fans were disappointed, as the band recorded a blatantly weaker album called Reise, Reise. This one featured some radio-friendly songs that kept the old Rammstein sound ("Amerika", "Stein Um Stein"), but the inclusion of an annoying female voice in "Moskau", a simple rhythm with no structure in "Los" and those two ballads to finish the album ("Ohne Dich", "Amour") didn't please the broad fanbase of the band in general. Last year, their last album, Rosenrot, came to the light. It was another controversial album that features an unorthodox song sung in Spanish ("Te Quiero Puta!") and a duet with Till Lindemann and Sharleen Spiteri ("Stirb Nicht Vor Mir") among other songs.
My favourite Rammstein album is Mutter and my favourite songs by them are "Asche Zu Asche", "Feuer Frei!" and "Stirb Nicht Vor Mir" (which I find so beautiful). What do you think about this band?

Written by Troy Killjoy on 21.11.2011 at 02:22 And so I've personally witnessed. Stick a dude who completely can't stand their music at their live shows and he's still going to have a great time. Unless he's a pussy and hates pyrotechnics. Their live shows: awesome music + flawless performance + stunning visuals = religious experience.

Also, their live performance of Bück Dich where Till has a fake penis perpetually ejaculating is pretty rad...

They're definitely a metal band. They might not be death metal or whatever it is that helps you define what is and isn't metal, but Rammstein have always been a metal band.

What does Lacrimosa have to do with Rammstein? Aside from the fact that both are German bands.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 08.12.2011 at 23:13 I've got to be honest and say that I'm new to all this, and guess I could have started a new topic thread on the issue. I just thought that since it wasn't TOO long ago that people were conversing on this thread, and that both bands can be on the industrial side (and yes both are German), there may be some thoughts out there. I'm happy to post somewhere else, but no other topic area on here seemed relevant for this, other than "Alternative" here. Could you tell me where I could post if there is a better one? I've been asked to do some work in Canada on Lacrimosa, and I'm trying to understand how potential fans classify and relate to the band. They have a truly unique style, and are not big in North America at all (I certainly never knew them before) so was just looking for some informed input from you guys. I want to find some related bands and really immerse myself in the music as it's a BIG learning experience  If you know any blogs/forums for alternative metal and such (bands like Therion, Haggard, Estatic Fear, etc.) I'd love to know of 'em! Thanks for your input!

Written by [user id=114505] on 26.12.2011 at 18:56 I think you mean "Neue Detuche Harte", or something. I have no idea what the fuck it means, though. Their first two are definitively industrial, but after that, "industrial" doesn't fully describe their sound, which is especially true for their newest album.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 21.11.2011 at 19:56 The thing that makes me laugh about this (which I also found brilliant) is that what's coming out of that fake penis is some sort of liquor, don't really remember what kind but it was some liquor with milk or something. I would have tasted it tbh.

I just call it "Neue Douche Harte". It isn't even really a subgenre.

That new douche heart is essentially the equivalent to "dance metal". It's like electro/industrial rave metal or something. I dunno, I think KFMDM and Oomph also play the same style, but don't quote me on that since I never spent a legitimate amount of time with either band.

Well this kind of metal is most of the time not my cup of tea but for almost every genre there's an exceptional band, Rammstein is one of those bands, just as trivium and damageplan that are in metalcore for me.

Pretty good band. Going to start buying their albums soon, though Herzeleid and Sehnsucht are superior to their later work which is good aswell, just not in the same level.

With my great current German level I have finally began to understand the topics of R+'s songs, and I must say I'm surprised they're not much more infamous.. just from the last album there are around 4 songs specifically about a combination of BDSM, abduction and rape (the title track is about raping a girl at the beach) and including the disturbing Wiener Blut which is about Fritzl. Good thing they balance the disturbing lyrics which some that are quite funny like for Pussy, which is about going to other countries to get laid.
