Rammstein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Rammstein is a German heavy metal band formed in 1994. Their music also incorporates elements of industrial and electronic music, similar in many ways to Laibach.

The name is not to be confused with the town of Ramstein, but the group was named after its most famous feature, Ramstein Air Base, the site of the Ramstein airshow disaster. The name was intended to promote awareness of the tragedy at the air base.

Rammstein comprises:

• Richard Z. Kruspe-Bernstein - guitar
• Paul Landers - guitar
• Till Lindemann - vocals
• Oliver Riedel - bass
• Christoph "Doom" Schneider - drums
• Christian "Flake" Lorenz - keyboards

Because of the dark and militaristic imagery employed by the band, they have been accused of fascist sympathies; the members of the band are, in fact, anything but. Rammstein wants nothing to do with politics, and if anything, they're left-wing.

Rammstein made an appearance in the 2002 movie XXX singing "Feuer Frei". They are currently in the studio recording a fourth full-length album.
