Rammstein is a German industrial metal band from Berlin, formed in 1994.The band consists of members Till Lindemann (lead vocals), Richard Z. Kruspe (lead guitar and backing vocals), Paul H. Landers (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Oliver "Ollie" Riedel (bass guitar), Christoph "Doom" Schneider (drums and electronic percussion) and Christian "Flake" Lorenz (keyboards). They are widely accepted as part of the Neue Deutsche Härte scene, alongside bands such as Oomph!, Eisbrecher, and Die Krupps. Their sound has been dubbed as Tanzmetall (lit. "dance metal").
Their songs are usually in German, but they have also performed songs entirely or partially in other languages such as English, Spanish, French and Russian.As of 2009, they have sold over 15 million records worldwide.Rammstein's entire catalogue is published by Universal Music Group. Since their formation in 1994, Rammstein has had no changes in their band line-up nor have any members left the band. They have become infamous worldwide for their extravagant live shows, relying heavily on pyrotechnics and other effects.
Rammstein takes their name indirectly from the German town of Ramstein-Miesenbach, the site of the flight show disaster on 28 August 1988. The band's signature song, "Rammstein", is a commemoration of the disaster. In a short period before the band became well known, they performed using the name "Rammstein-Flugschau" (literally meaning "Rammstein-Flightshow").
Sehnsucht (German for "Longing", see Sehnsucht) is the second album by German industrial metal band Rammstein. It was released on 25 August 1997.
The album booklet folds out to reveal six different covers, one for each band member (each photo depicting the member with bizarre facial-wear made out of ordinary kitchen objects like spatulas, spoons, forks etc.). The cover most commonly seen features Till Lindemann with an egg-lifter worn as a muzzle and bent forks over his eyes worn as sunglasses. The cover art was created by Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein who created the Scorpions' Blackout cover too, which is very similar to the Sehnsucht cover and even the forks in both covers are the same. The album is the only album entirely in German to be certified Platinum by the RIAA in the United States.Völkerball (German for "Dodgeball", lit. "Peoples' ball") is the German Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein's live album/DVD set. It was released on November 17, 2006 in Europe, December 19, 2006 in Canada, and on September 18, 2007 in the U.S. The album was advertised within media by the Ich will live video featured on the DVD and Mann gegen Mann single.
