Germany's reigning industrial-metal gang Rammstein have announced the upcoming arrival of a new CD/DVD set called Made In Germany 1995 – 2011, which the band says will contain twenty of the band's "most significant tracks," as well as a brand new song... and best of all, the first complete collection of all their official music videos to date. The band is also launching a new tour to promote the compilation release. Hit the jump for more info, and check out a couple of their classic clips!
Rammstein's musical output is a natural fit for sinister cinema (Trent Reznor picked two of their songs for the soundtrack to David Lynch's chilling Lost Highway), but their own visual output is even more mind-blowing: the band has turned out dozens of creepy, sexy, violent and boundary-busting videos since they first hit the metal scene in the mid-'90s. The video for "Pussy," the first single from their 2009 album Liebe Ist Für Alle Da, was so explicit it had to be hosted by a porn site (it soon became one of the year's hottest viral videos), and other clips have been censored or banned from TV. So any official compilation of all their visual material is a definite must-have.
The promised new track on the Made in Germany CD will probably be "Mein Land," because the band has just completed shooting a new video for that title, and the song itself has already been leaked.
The European tour kicks off on November 6th, and the band says they're designing an entirely new stage presentation. They've done a few one-off shows in the US (including a live appearance onJimmy Kimmel last month), but North American fans will have to wait until next year for that phase of the tour. It will definitely be worth the wait, because a live Rammstein show is a mind-blowing (and almost life-threatening) experience.
Get a little taste of Rammstein madness with their werewolf-themed video for "Du Riechst So Gut" and the slightly NSFW "Mein Teil"...
