A self-labeled, "Tanz-Metall" band. Tanz-Metall itself is a combination of
Dance, Heavy Metal, and Industrial. A lot of common misperceptions about Rammstein, are that they are
Homosexual, Neo-Fascists, Or, somehow, Satanists, probably derived from the fact that the song, "Heirate Mich," is often mislabeled as
Satan on P2P Networks. A few songs by rammstein follow:
Du Hast, Engel, Ein Lied, Herzeleid, Laichzeit, Links 2-3-4, Feuer Frei!, Mein Teil, Moskau, Schtiel, Jeder Lacht (Unreleased song), Schwarzes Glas (Unreleased), Pesnja O Trevozhnoy Molodosti, Feuerräder, Stirb Nicht Vor Mir, and Benzin.
Rammstein has also had many Remixes. Some famous remixes are the Industrial mix of Du Riechst So Gut, by Sascha Konietzko of KMFDM, or the Combustion Remix of Benzin, by Meshuggah. Rammstein has been featured in movie's like Lost Highway ("Rammstein", "Heirate Mich"), Triple X ("Feuer Frei!"), Mortal Kombat Annihilation ("Engel"), and Resident
Evil ("Halleluja")
A lot of songs by rammstein tend to have humour injected into them, such as,
"Brauch Keine frau,
Nur vasoline"
Which directly translates to, "I don't need a
woman, but Vasoline," or, more or less, "I don't need a
woman, i have Vasoline"
Some of their songs have been influenced by outside sources, as well. The song, Dalai Lama, is based off of an old
German Poem about the Fear of Flight... And the song, "
Hilf Mir" is based off of a
german Children's Story.
They have released several
CD's, the most
popular ones, of course, being the Mainstream ones, or, Herzeleid, Sehnsucht, Mutter, Reise Reise, and Rosenrot. They have released several Singles, such as Mann Gegen Mann, Rosenrot, Stripped, two versions of the Engel
CD, Das modell, a cover of the Kraftwerk song, Das Modell, and Schtiel, a limited edition
CD, which had only 400 copies produced, thus making it a very valuable
CD
