Song "Amour" is part of the soundtrack of German film


Again, Rammstein was included as the soundtrack of a movie. In this case, will be in German "Same same but different" to be released in Europe on 21 January 2010. The movie seems to be quite interesting and I hope to come out on DVD here. This is a young German traveler - typical backpacker - who falls for a girl prostitute seropositive of Cambodia, a drama based on a true story. Nothing more appropriate that Amour - eleventh track on the album Reise, Reise - to integrate the soundtrack of this drama.

The third clip is Haifisch

From an interview with Paul Landers for Regen Magazine, it became known that the next clip of the song will Haifisch.

quote: "The other video will be for 'Haifisch', and it's going to be a classic Rammstein video with a story behind it, but I'd rather not give any more details and let you be surprised by it."

"Ich tu dir weh" you hurt me too ...


As with video clips of Mann gegen Mann, Pussy, Jonas Åkerlund was the director shooting the ITDW, being creative and wise to turn simple ideas into something spectacular, like the spectacle of prestige in this clip. Who could imagine that a taboo subject, sadomasochism, could turn poetry and music of good quality?

Enjoy it, then the sextet in ITDW and see Till Lindemann singing with a dildo in hand, he was electrocuted Flake, Richard kick left and right, and Paul, Oliver Schneider and give a show!


* Ich tu dir weh (HD quality) [Part 1 | Part 2]

Fröhliche Weihnachten und ein glückliches Neues Jahr!

Rammstein frontman pierced his cheek for new video

Rammstein frontman Till Lindermann pierced his cheek for the sole purpose of running a cable through the hole to add LED lighting in his mouth for the band's new video. Band members advised Till they could hide the wires by shooting from various angles, but Till was determined to do it right. While shooting the video for "Ich Tu Dir Weh", there were some difficulties with the piercing while no cable was used and the piercing fell out and healed the hole within a matter of hours. With no cheek hole to run the wires through, lighting was used to shadow half the face to bring the wire in through the mouth. You can check out stills of the video and lighting below and watch the full video at visit-x.net/rammstein.







After the hole healed:


Rammstein released Libe Ist Fur Alle Da on Oct 20 via Vagrant Records. Be sure to pick up the new Rammstein boxset at this location.

Rammstein's Ich Tu Dir Weh video to be released Monday









"Ich Tu Dir Weh" is the ultimate distillation of a RAMMSTEIN concert into five minutes. As with the preceding video "Pussy," Jonas Åkerlund stands at the helm as director, and for "Ich Tu Dir Weh," he captures the show on the band's "rehearsal stage" in 35mm. A full-bodied format to do filmic justice to RAMMSTEIN's own brand of "widescreen" staging.

The plan was simple. Åkerlund uses the language of grand cinema, RAMMSTEIN delivers the rest: the theatre, the flesh, the frenzy. The result is formidable. "Ich Tu Dir Weh" shows the band at its purest and most concentrated. A beast, only awakened to life onstage under the spell of fire and a maddening roar. On December 21st, 2009 at 1pm CET (7am EST), "Ich Tu Dir Weh" celebrates its premiere at visit-x/rammstein.

Visit at your own risk.

Flake’s replacement suffered an accident


As you already know from our news, Flake was replaced by Alf Ator. The reason was that Flake had some health problems, probably a throat infection. Now it seems Rammstein keyboardist are somehow cursed. On the way to Rostock concert, Alf Ator had an accident and totaled his car on the highway. The good news is, that Alf is unhurt, only his BMW is “scratched a bit”. Please change the tires already, winter is coming!

The exact line-up of each of the festival performances has not be announced yet.

Rammstein confirmed for Bilbao BBK Live Festival 2010





German band Rammstein will be present at Bilbao BBK Live 2010, the festival staff said on Thursday, when the first 95 euros bonus tickets --which are to hold that price only until 25th January-- have been put on sale.

Rammstein were formed in 1994 by an assembly of factory-weary proletarians raised in East Germany. Transcending any perceived language barrier, the 6 member band has sold 12 million albums worldwide.

The German have also offered the most spectacular live performances of the noughties. In fact, tickets for their latest Spanish tour were sold out. Apart from Madrid and Barcelona, they also visited Bilbao Exhibition Centre (November 14th, 2009).

Latest album by Rammsteim, Liebe ist für alle da, which means Love is there for everyone, was accused of expressing 'sadism and sexual masochism' and being 'harmful to children and young people'. Therefore, the German Federal Office banned the sale of the album on November 11. Anyway, Pussy, the first single, hit European and US charts.

The video for Pussy was released 2 days before the single on the adult website Visit-x. It features explicit scene of male and female nudity as well as the band members (and their body doubles) engaging in sexual activity with women.

New Rammstein video to debut this week


Rammstein will release it's new music video, Ich Tu Dir Weh this week, and it is heavily rumored to debut tomorrow. The single CD and download will not be available until the end of January. As of now, it is not known what additional song(s) will be on the single, but this it expected to be firmed up soon.

Two teasers for the video have already been leaked and can be viewed below.

Rammstein released its' long awaited and highly acclaimed album, Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da in October via a partnership with Vagrant Records and Universal Records. The album debuted at #13 on Billboard's top 200.

**UPDATE**
As of 15 minutes ago, the video has been postponed a few days.

CD review: Liebe ist für alle da - Rammstein


If there was an award for 2009's most offensive cover art, German art-metallers Rammstein would win it easily.

Liebe ist für alle da - it stands for "Love is there for everyone" - comes with a photo spread showing front man Till Lindemann setting himself to cut a girl's arm off with a meat cleaver. Things get even worse inside, with snaps of what appears to be an orgy and other sexually depraved acts.

And for mad keen fans who want to splash out on the boxset edition of Rammstein's sixth album, it comes complete with life-size replicas of each band members' member. Hmm.

So it's no surprise to discover the album has caused controversy, with a censored CD being released in Germany and the song Ich Tu Dir Weh ("I Hurt You") being banned from live performances. For a band that provided the highlight of the 2001 Big Day Out, that has to be a downer.

You could say all of this has overtaken the band's music, especially when the x-rated video for first single P***y - "I can't get laid in Germany" are among the mostly unprintable lyrics - was released on an adult entertainment website.

But the band displays plenty of musical muscle on songs like the pounding Wiener Blut, the brutal grind of B******** and the death growls and double kick drums of Waidmanns Heil.

And if you don't speak German it's even harder to understand what Lindemann is banging on about as he slips into English even less frequently than on any of the band's previous albums.

It can make for a devilishly evil listening experience, but closing balled Roster Sand comes complete with whistling and all but comfirms these mad Germans are taking the piss.

Watch out, because their next album will probably come with bottles of it just to prove their point.

Tour LIFAD: presentation of "Ich tu dir weh" is banned in Germany






Outside aired on Facebook Official Rammstein that the performance of "Ich tu dir weh," which has been made during the tour the band is banned in all of Germany and excluded from the setlist of the shows, as the following quote:

Von heute wird auch an die Instrumental Version von "Ich tue dir weh" * in Deutschland nicht länger aufgeführt, da der Zugang zu den Konzerten Personen unter 18 Jahren nicht gestattet Andernfalls wäre.

"From now on, even the instrumental version of Ich tue dir weh appears in Germany, it would not be allowed, otherwise the entry of persons under 18 years."




(*) For more curious, that (tue) is not a mistake. It turns out that only the word "tun" is not in its contracted form "tu" [ich tu (e)].

Happy B-Day Paul!!


There was an evolution, and has worked for us. If we compare the Rammstein with a large boat, has been very difficult to change course and appearance of the boat. All we did was change a little direction, but if you want us to compare to David Bowie or The Ramones, will not work. We are not so, we follow the same line. A line in ascending ...

Paul Landers




Fanstein, end of semester at the Uni for some of the school year for other continuous or just routine work for most people of our country. The point is that, as a rule, in December means VACATION. And after a brief season without major news of the band, except that Till Lindemann contracted a bad cold around day 03/12 - was it the "fever"? - Apparently contaminating the entire band, causing partial loss of their natural speech, ie, he was hoarse. This resulted in the cancellation of the show would happen in Luxembourg the next day (04/12), with then the need to mark it down for 31/01/2010.

To the pandemic and its impact on musical entertainment, blessed be the great Paul Landers, who today complete its 45 years existence. Toast to all the talented musician of Rammstein! Born on December 09, 1964, few know the real name is Heiko Paul Landers Hiersche who was born in East Berlin, contrary to what many sources have reported on the band. The discussion, moreover, if he would be the only member not-Rammstein-German, to the world in Бярэсьце (huh? Belarus), is old and outdated - his mother was Russian. Lived in Moscow for a short time as a child, contributing to its current fluency in Russian, although they can not read or write the language. At 16, he left his parents due to conflicts with his stepfather - the time you took the first name Heiko, second only Paul Hiersche to honor his father.

The guitarist's musical career began in 1983, the East German punk band called Feeling B, his colleague being Christian "Flake" Lorenz and Aljoscha Rompe - after, Christoph Schneider would play in that too. In 1986, Paul formed the First Arsch, along with Till Lindemann and Richard Kruspe. Besides these, he played in other less famous, such as Die Firma and Die Magdalene keibel combo. Years later, he and Flake join Till, Richard Schneider and Riedel, forming the current group Rammstein.

The personal life, finally, Paul definitely changed the name when in 1984 he married Nikki Landers to 20 years old, joined the surname of his wife with the first name of the father (Paul Hiersche). They had a son named Emil and divorced in 1987. Still, preferred to keep its current name. He also had a daughter later, the result of another relationship. Moved Flake's house after his divorce with Nikki for a long time. He developed a strong personality because of jokes about his height (current: 1.69 m) and therefore is very humorous - good humor helped him overcome childhood nicknames.
