Rammstein, a German industrial metal band, is very famous worldwide. Is this band famous in our school? Our reporter interviewed a few students in the school, and some of them have never even heard about them, but a lot of them do know about Rammstein.
Kenneth Cabrera, a senior in Mission High, is a very big fan of Rammstein. When asked how much he knows about Rammstein, he replied more than our reporter expected. “It’s a German heavy metal band, formed in Berlin in 1994. They play industrial metal. There are 6 members in the band, and they are famous throughout Germany. They’ve published 6 albums up to now. Some songs have different languages, such as Spanish, Russian, and English.”
Is this band and its material about sex and violence inappropriate for teenagers like us? One video included material that was explicit pornographic. He replied yes, but teens already have been exposed to those kinds of material. More of that wouldn’t hurt them anymore. Rammstein has published a new music video that is banned in Germany, because it displays sexual activities.
Rammstein’s 6 albums are, Herzeleid, Sehnsucht, Live Aus Berlin, Mutter, Reise Reise, Rosenrot, and Liebe ist für alle da. The first album was published in 1995. They are remembered for their amazing stage performance, including fire displays, head banging, and their outrageous outfit that makes them look like beasty hoboes.
The band is, in my opinion, worth to give a try. Maybe one day when you pass by a Borders or a random CD store, you would want to go in and ask for a Rammstein album. Go home and listen to it a little more, you will find it interesting. I would like to recommend some songs if you are going to download songs online from them, “Aszhe zu Aszhe”, “Du Riecht So Gut”, “Ich Tu Der Weh”, and “Buck Dich”. I bet you would love it.
