In Pictures: Rammstein in Oakland, CA

Touring the U.S. for the first time in a decade, German goth-metal band Rammstein is currently stateside, lighting up stages with their signature pyrotechnic-laden show in support of their new album "Leibe Ist Fur Alle Da." Wednesday night (5/18).
The band's most recent stop was at Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA. In a review published yesterday by the Oakland Tribune, veteran music writer Jim Harrington gave an enthusiastic thumbs up to the group's antics, saying "They don't need any of the wild theatrics to make their music interesting and keep concertgoers awake. (In other words, Rammstein isn't Gwar.) Yet, the band has chosen to fill nearly every second onstage with some type of visual element." Next stop on Rammstein's itinerary is tonight (5/20) at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, CA.
SoundSpike photographer Tim Mosenfelder was among the media on the scene to capture some of the antics at the band's Oakland show, and here are some of his best shots.
