Rammstein is a German rock band from Berlin, formed in 1994 (25 years ago). The band consists of members Till Lindemann (lead vocals), Richard Z. Kruspe (lead guitar and backing vocals), Paul H. Landers (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Oliver "Ollie" Riedel (bass guitar), Christoph "Doom" Schneider (drums and electronic percussion) and Christian "Flake" Lorenz (keyboards). They are widely accepted as part of the Neue Deutsche Härte scene, alongside bands such as Oomph!, Eisbrecher, and Die Krupps. Their sound has been dubbed as Tanz-Metal (lit. "Dance Metal"). Their songs are usually in German, but they have also performed songs entirely or partially in other languages such as English ("Pussy", "Amerika", cover of Depeche Mode's "Stripped"), Spanish ("Te quiero puta!"), French ("Amour" and "Frühling in Paris"), and Russian ("Moskau"). As of 2005 (14 years ago), they have sold over 10 million records worldwide. Rammstein's entire catalogue is published by Universal Music Group. Since their formation in 1994 (25 years ago), Rammstein has had no changes in their band line-up nor have any members left the band.
Rammstein takes their name indirectly from the German town of Ramstein-Miesenbach, the site of the flight show disaster on 28 Aug. 1988 (31 years ago). The band's signature song, "Rammstein", is a commemoration of the Ramstein airshow disaster. In a short period before the band became well known, they performed using the name "Rammstein-Flugschau" (literally meaning "Rammstein-Airshow").
Although the majority of their songs are written in German, Rammstein has had success across the world. It was confirmed in 2007 (12 years ago) that the band had re-united from their vacation and had begun working on their sixth studio album, Liebe ist für alle da, which was released on 16 Oct. 2009 (10 years ago) in Europe.
