Rammstein and the language of anger

November 22, 2010

Will they bring the famous supersized phallic whatchamacallit for their stage show? That is the first question which springs to mind on hearing the announcement that Rammstein are booked to perform in South Africa in Feberury 2011.

This will be the first time that the world’s most famous industrial metal band, will play in South Africa. Known for their hugely over the top stage shows peppered with pyrotechnics and special effects, Rammstein have stuck true to their very heavy, very German sound.

However, this has not diminished their commercial success. They have sold over 15 million records worldwide, including multiple Gold albums and DVD releases in South Africa.”


According to the press release sent out by Big Concerts, bass guitarist Oliver Riedel once commented that the “German language suits heavy metal music. French might be the language of love, but Germ is the language of anger.” Pretty cool, huh?

One thing for sure, the Rammstein shows will not be for sissies. So dust off your Docs, squeeze into your patent leather corsets and reach for the purple lipstick and black eye liner. Its gonna get ugly!

They play Grand Arena, Grandwest Cape Town on 9 February and Coca Cola Dome on 11 February.
