Not allofthe horror comes from Lindemann's pen. Some of the frontman's lyrics are inspired by classical German literature, exemplified by the most prominent poet in the language, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Goethe's famous ballad Erlkönig, for example, translated: Goethe and Lindemann Culture scholar Melanie Schiller is convinced that Rammstein represents cliches that cling to Germany as seen from outside the country: "Their depiction of masculinity is stereotypical, as are their extremely 'steeled' and 'idealized' bodies, male power, comradery and maybe also a fascination with evil and violence. The concepts of guilt, suffering, alienation and the issue of victims and perpetrators repeatedly turn up in the lyrics and the videos." The sex toys industry has managed to infiltrate the music merch market over the years. A few years ago, Rammstein launched their very own line of pink dildos that were modeled after their own. They, of course, weren’t the first band to ever dabble in sex toys merch. Yet from the US to Russia, Rammstein is an extremely successful band. The concerts on their ongoing tour that began in May in Gelsenkirchen are sold out. Do audiences in stadiums understand Rammstein's complexity? In a statement, a spokesperson for the Berlin public prosecution’s office said it had initiated preliminary proceedings against Lindemann “over allegations relating to sexual offences and the distribution of drugs”.
And then there’s his life away from the arts. Till is both a father and a grandfather, with a house in rural Germany, far removed from the bustle of Berlin. “I fish. I hunt. I stare at the lake,” he says. “I sleep at night in the forest and listen. Terrific, what you hear at night in the forest. It’s indescribably beautiful. I hate noise. I hate chatter. I expose myself to it, which is pure masochism. And then I must protect myself from it. Noise drives you crazy. You’ll die in it.” Aeneas Hohenadl, manager of the performance technician company Riggerwerk, told Die Welt the goings on behind the stage at Rammstein concerts were “an open secret”. He said that included the alleged deliberate placing of women in “row zero” – directly in front of the stage – so they could later be recruited during shows as potential sex partners for Lindemann. According to my experience, Rammstein's excesses and irony are perceived much more directly outside Germany. Those stereotypes originate there, and accordingly, that's where they are more easily understood and recognized. And most importantly, from that perspective, they are less painful," says cultural scholar Melanie Schiller, admitting that seen from the outside, many nuances, references and contexts are also lost. On our first and second album, we were very dependent on samplers and computerised music machinery, even to write the songs,” added Paul Landers. “And with Mutter, we really based the songs on the guitar and are only using technology to enhance it, to give it flavour. So we didn’t want to be slaves of the machines anymore.” In a 2015interview for the magazine Cicero, Till Lindemann explained: "I'm always supposed to analyze my texts, but I actually don't think about them all that much."On tour, Rammstein has used inflatable boats —an image familiar from refugees crossing the Mediterranean —in combination with a "Welcome" sign. They were basically saying that we had no future outside of Germany. That we had no chance of making it anywhere else.”
A man is slaughtered and eaten, a girl confined in a basement by a rapist, a man driven to death by a mob. When Rammstein covered the Depeche Mode song "Stripped" and used images from a film by Leni Riefenstahl in the video, it was a scandal: The band were castigated for quoting one of the most controversial directors in film history. We like art and colours and cosplay too so if you just want some eye candy we cater for you also! cosplay is basically guys and gals who like to dress up in superheroes costumes.Guitar recording, editing and additional guitar production by Sky van Hoff at Studio Engine 55, Berlin Still, he has always insisted that there’s more to his worldview than just 50 shades of lust. “I’m not obsessed with sex,” said the man who was a regular habitué of Berlin’s fetish clubs. “It’s a provocation, it’s a humour, and it’s the small, savoury spice in the stew that will make people listen up. It’s supposed to catch your attention. Nothing else.” On Wednesday, Lynn said she had appealed to Lithuanian police to rethink their decision not to pursue an investigation. Lindemann, 60, has repeatedly denied the allegations through his lawyers, saying they were “without exception untrue”. Prior to this, Rammstein’s performances on UK soil had numbered two, and one of those was an appearance on MTV’s Hanging Out, for which they were billed as “David Lynch’s favourite band”. The other was a tiny show at London’s Powerhouse in November 1997, at which their famed firepower was diminished by the small venue and the law. Had they appeared on Channel 4’s EuroTrash, they would have fit well with the show’s double-edged ‘look at the crazy continentals having fun we’re missing out on’ banter.
