Formation time: 1994 Nationality: German Style type: Alternative Metal Heavy Metal Industrial Metal Progressive Metal Rammstein Background information Rammstein is from Germany, the former East Germany was a country under a dictatorship, which made us feel a comrade-like feeling. We could also better understand the mechanical nature of their music. The sonorous metal guitar strumming, the doomsday-like lead tone, and all the conspiracy come from the German Rammstein (Chariot Band). The overweight and majestic metal guitar blends with industrial chaos, and the firm and dark German lyrics rush out, bombarding your eardrums, making you toss and turn, but you are still immersed in uneasiness. You are destined to die. . Zeppelin-style RIFF, the cold electronic essence of KRAFTWERK, and elegant female voices pour into your ears from different places, burning cold fire inside. So, endless floods began again and again, and you were drowned. On the new album, they sing "My dear child, take care of yourself, I'm the voice in your pillow, I bring you something, something torn from my chest.", after a somber murmur. , the violent roar of "Don't leave an umbilical cord in my belly, mother, mother!!!" and the similar political allegorical Snow White story in the MV, can't help but make you feel happy. RAMMSTEIN is a band from Germany. We have it translated as Nazi Tank or German Tank. The specific name is not within the scope of discussion. We just need to know that it is a band that can excite anyone, whether they are rock/metal fans or not. A band that can't help itself. Rammstein is a German heavy metal band formed by a group of proletarians in East Germany who were tired of factory life. Their music is a mixture of industrial and electronic elements. Their name comes from Ramstein Air Force Base (with an "m" added), where the Ramstein crash occurred. On August 28, 1988, a plane collision during a U.S. Air Force flight demonstration resulted in 80 casualties. The band was named to remind people not to forget the tragedy that happened at the Air Force base. Literally, "ram stein" actually means "stone hammer". Due to their nationality, as well as the band's dark style and militaristic imagery, they were accused of being fascists, although this was not the case. Rammstein doesn't want anything to do with politics. If it has to do with politics, then they are left-wing.

In the following years, as the main force of the army, the powerful German tanks surged all the way on the battlefield, rushing left and right, becoming the most terrifying nightmare in the eyes of the Allies. In April 1945, as the German army retreated across the board, the famous German tank finally entered the road of destruction. In 1993, the clang of the sleeping German tanks sounded again, sweeping the world with unstoppable momentum. RAMMSTEIN band comes from Germany, the birthplace of INDUSTRIAL METAL. "Chariot" is the Chinese transliteration of the band. In fact, this is a name "tailor-made" for the band by domestic music fans based on its music style. RAMMSTEIN has no specific meaning in German. RAM is the name of a place in Germany where a tragedy occurred during a flight show more than a decade ago that killed more than a hundred people; and STEIN means rock in German. The band members combined these two words to take the name, and it is not difficult to see its bloody smell and heavy style.

The band is composed of six tough men from the former East Germany: The lead singer TILL has many backgrounds. He was a member of the former East German national swimming team and won the long-distance championship at the European Swimming Championships. He had to withdraw from the national team due to a muscle strain, and later obtained the position of pyrotechnics engineer and joined an underground metal band FIRST ARSCH as the drummer. PAUL is the organizer and core figure of RAMMSTEIN. He serves as the rhythm guitarist in the band and comes from DIE FIRMA, another underground metal band in East Berlin. CHRISTOPH, who comes from DIE FIRMA like Paul, serves as the drummer in RAMMSTEIN. RICHARD, a big guy with a muscular body and a fierce look, serves as the lead guitarist. Bassist OLIVER was a member of a PUNK band before joining the band, and was relatively inconspicuous in the band. The last person to join RAMMSTEIN was the tall and thin harpsichordist and sampler LORENZ, who created the electronic sound effects in the band. The story begins with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Under the Iron Curtain rule of the former East German Communist Party, would you have thought that deviant music such as METAL and PUNK existed? The members who had not formed RAMMSTEIN at that time gave us a definite answer. Despite the strict government control at the time, they usually acted as socialist laborers and secretly trained in their respective bands after work. With the reunification of East and West Germany, they immediately abandoned their work as a matter of course and devoted themselves to playing music. In 1993, Paul had objections to the musical direction of his original band, so he invited CHRISTOPH to leave the band and start a new one, determined to create a band with a heavier style and more violent music style. With the network of A knowing B and B knowing C, PAUL quickly gathered several like-minded people, which is the current RAMMSTEIN lineup. Interestingly, the keyboardist LORENZ comes from a goth band. When Paul invited him to join, he said to his face that adding his electronic elements to a METAL band would be boring, so he refused to join. . Later, at the invitation of the band members, he visited the band's rehearsal, was attracted by the band's unique style, and finally joined the band. In this way, PAUL's idea attracted members from METAL, PUNK, and GOTH bands, and RAMMSTEIN finally came into being. When the band was first formed, the lead singer was not TILL but drummer CHRISTOPH, because CHRISTOPH was the lead singer in the original band, and TILL used to be a drummer. However, after experiencing TILL's unique vocal performance, the band members felt that this The style was more suitable for RAMMSTEIN's music, so the positions of TILL and CHRISTOPH were switched. It is precisely because of the diversified backgrounds of the band members that RAMMSTEIN's music style is composed of multiple elements. This kind of music combines INDUSRIAL METAL and DEATH METAL, and you can even find TECHNO music forms and Gothic music in it. Dark shadows and a touch of German classics. The collision of these chemical elements produces a unique style that belongs only to RAMMSTEIN. Powerful drum beats and tight bass form its heart. The grand fuzz wall of sound and guitar RIFF are closely surrounding the drum beat and bass, and the guitar RIFF is occasionally inserted into the vicious SOLO, coupled with The finishing touch of harpsichord forms the skeleton of the background music. Of course, TILL’s signature vocal performance is indispensable. It is very different from the shouting singing style of many other METAL bands. TILL always suppresses the voice to an extremely deep voice, with a strong German nasal twang. TILL uses this zombie-like singing voice to roar out endless anger. The fiery music meets the cold and gloomy voice. This seemingly incompatible combination not only does not conflict, but adds a bloody flavor to the overall atmosphere. Listening to TILL's voice can not help but remind people of a man carrying a huge axe. Cold-blooded executioner. And his lyrics are equally fascinating.

Although TILL denies that his lyrics have radical connotations, we can still feel the more naked smell of blood from inside. 2006-2-5 19:35 Reply 184200170 0 fans 3F Remember I am listening to the LIVE AUS BERLIN live radio album I was already very eager to have the opportunity to see its spectacular scene. Finally, I was lucky enough to purchase the concert VEDIO last year. Although I was prepared for the impact of RAMMSTEIN’s scene, I was still shocked. The single stand is covered with giant steel pipes, high-rise steel frames, and the super-large industrial rotating fan on the top of the stage is enough to feel a heavy typhoon. The stage started with flames burning upward in the dark. Several members suddenly appeared like ghosts in several explosions. Among them, the guitarist RICHARD had new scars on his face, and the bassist was covered in blood. The gloomy Gothic background music sounded, and when the dark and desolate keys sounded, I realized that the opening track was SPIEL MIT MIR. The songs that followed became more and more violent, the band members' actions became more hysterical, and their performance tricks became more and more endless. In the song BESTRAFE MICH, TILL went shirtless, showing off his muscular body, and while singing, he beat his body hard with an S/M whip. In the song SEHNSUCHT, TILL hit his forehead with the microphone several times until his head was broken and bleeding. When ASCHE ZU ASCHE reached its climax, two microphones suddenly caught fire, but the two guitarists shouted loudly against the microphones that burned into fireballs. The prelude of HEIRATE MICHD is full of the atmosphere of death: huge crosses are formed by dim blue lights on the dark stage, the sound of heart beating, mysterious monks chanting scriptures, and the echo of the death knell sound like coming from the depths of hell. The evil voice sounded, and dozens of searchlights on the sidelines pierced the dark sky like sharp swords. The evil atmosphere filled the venue, as if they had fallen into purgatory. An even more amazing scene appears in RAMMSTEIN, the band's track of the same name. The music once again started with a dark atmosphere. A super-giant industrial rotating fan slowly lowered from the top of the stage. Then a blazing fire was reflected at the bottom of the stage. A fireball-shaped object slowly rose from the bottom of the stage to the table. It turned out to be TILL wearing a suit. A piece of clothing that was on fire all over his body, he even let the fire burn him as if nothing had happened, singing from the beginning to the end of the song. No wonder RAMMSTEIN's live performance style is called SHOCK METAL. It gives people a shocking feeling at every turn. The audience was incited by this shocking feeling from the beginning to the end of the concert. Tens of thousands of people clapped their hands enthusiastically, jumped for joy, and thousands of people sang in chorus. The scene was magnificent. For spectacular. The two guitarists, Paul and RICHARD, and the bassist OLIVER, maintained a cold expression like "Dead Old Dou" from the moment they appeared on the stage to the end.
