Bio
Rammstein (German pronunciation: [??am?ta??n]) is a German rock band from Berlin, formed in 1994. 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 almost exclusively in German, but they have also performed songs entirely or partially in other languages such as English ("Pussy", "Amerika", "You Hate", "Angel"; covers of Depeche Mode's "Stripped" and Ramones' "Pet Sematary"), Spanish ("Te quiero puta!"), French ("Frühling In Paris"), and Russian ("Moskau"). As of 2008, they had sold over 15 million records worldwide. Rammstein's entire catalogue is published by Universal Music Group. Since its formation, Rammstein has had no changes in lineup.
