Rammstein, the German industrial metal powerhouse, is set to ignite stages across North America in May 2011.

This article delves into the band's history, their unique sound, and what fans can expect from the upcoming tour. Get ready to secure your tickets and witness the spectacle that is Rammstein.
Rammstein, a German band that defines itself as "tanzmetal" (dance metal), has a sound that transcends simple categorization. While dance elements are present, their music is a complex blend of industrial metal, hard rock, and electronic music. The band's name, Rammstein, is believed to be inspired by the Ramstein airbase in Germany, where a tragic airshow accident occurred in 1988. The final track on their debut album, Herzeleid, was influenced by this incident.
The band was formed in 1994 by Richard Kruspe, who brought together friends from various lesser-known bands. The members, all male and in their 30s at the time, hailed from Berlin, Schwerin, Wittenberg, and Leipzig. Before their musical careers took off, they worked as industrial laborers. Notably, lead vocalist Till Lindemann was a champion swimmer.
Rammstein's lineup consists of:
Rammstein's dual lead guitarists, Kruspe and Landers, create intricate sounds that are further reinforced by Riedel's bass. Lorenz's keyboards add rhythm and depth, while Lindemann's powerful vocals drive the band's music. Their live performances are renowned for their pyrotechnics, with Lindemann often singing while engulfed in flames.
Rammstein's music is a blend of fast, slow, romantic, horrific, explicit, and violent elements. Their lyrics, primarily in German, explore themes of love, hate, tragedy, anger, violence, and sex. Despite some criticism for not singing in English, the band's German lyrics add a unique tone and depth to their music.
In 1997, Rammstein released their second album, Sehnsucht, which debuted at #1 on the charts. At the same time, their first album, Herzeleid, was also in the top 20. The singles "Engel" and "Du Hast" were top 20 hits, and Sehnsucht went platinum in Germany with 500,000 presales. Their largest concert to date was in Wulheide, Berlin, with 17,000 attendees each night for two nights.
Rammstein has toured extensively, including performances in the USA with KMFDM and on the Family Values tour. They have also supported Kiss in South America. Despite some cancellations, such as their Australian tour due to Schneider's eardrum injury, the band has gained a massive following worldwide.
Rammstein's stage shows and music videos often spark controversy due to their provocative content. However, this has only added to their fame. The band's commitment to singing in German and their unique performance style have solidified their place in the music world.
