Video is jaw-dropping and the song rules.

Yeah, video is ballin. The song is good, but they have done better.

The album is self-titled btw.

Song rips.

hot damn those lyrics coupled with the video is some next level shit

dis gon be gud year

They're back

Great video

Solid song

decent song, who really works/gets enhanced thanks to the amazing video.

Damn, that's an impressive music video

the guitar riff almost reminds me of some recent A7X song... Hail to the King maybe?

maybe i'm just crazy

Hmm, well that album sucks so that can’t be right.

Vid is soooo gooooood. Track is fine too. Stoked for the album!

Well, I really didn't like the video. But the song was kinda cool.

i bet ur favourite movie is casablanca

Very meh, definitely wasn't worth the 8 year drought.

Song & Video are fantastic. They're a complete deconstruction of Germany and it's history with regards to today's developments. Basically "yeah, the right wing fuckheads are coming back and it sucks, but look, bloodshed & atrocities are kinda what Germany has always been about, so what's to love about this country?

p much

Agerd, JohnFire.

Wunderbar Video.

Song gets better with every spin.

wonder how much this video cost to make

millions wouldn't surprise me

I seriously think Rammstein could be the richest metal band in the world, they take in serious coin on their tours.

yeah they have fans everywhere. guys have probably been on holiday the last 10 years bar the tours

band is so consistently awesome

No they literally burn through their savings with all... that... fire.

Got iiimmmm

is this the cover

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/16/Rammstein_-_Rammstein.png

idk feels like it should be an anthology kinda album. yea we get it ur back guys. unless they fuck off for another 10 years

here's the cover:
https://pp.userapi.com/c854128/v854128040/f6e0/-YvFBUzk4XQ.jpg

That’s the ‘complete Rammstein’ cover on Spotify, so I doubt it.

that's the single cover. i meant the album cover

That’s the one for the single.

oh god these song names are obnoxious

Lindemann's solo project and Emigrate are decent tho
so perhaps it's better if they channel all their questionable ideas into side-projects and leave the best for what people actually care about. I don't mind an album once every 10 years, as long as it is the best they could gather up in those 10 years
(but it's very likely that some of them won't be around in 10 years)

@fish the one you posted is already on a compilation album on Spotify.

It would make sense if the new album is self-titled for that to be the cover actually.

yh i think it might just be wikipedians speculating tho

or not

Where are the song titles?

probably their best video imo. funny how they managed to trigger left- and rightwing folks just the same.

"Where are the song titles?"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rammstein_(album)

where have they pissed people off?

they triggered the ones ignorant enough to not know what to expect of Rammstein at this point and they put their fans into absolute euphoria

I doubt those are real titles haha, nothing outright posted on their website.

they may be incomplete titles

I wonder if they'll ever tour the states again

Sad how all the "News" websites and twitter warriors pretend to be all so shocked disgusted about this, just for clicks. Everyone knows that they do what they do to provoke.

A lot of people don't understand satire and imagery, or exhibit a superficial zealousness cos they don't actually understand the subject they claim to tackle

"“I think it is a tasteless exploitation of artistic freedom," Klein said"

dumb dumb

plus zionists latch onto anything, while the israeli and hungarian governments cosy up. the current hungarian gvt known for it's positive attitude towards jews, i.e. pls send them to israel

ah sod them. it'll blow over come April.

p much

The minimal elements of the Nazi ideology enacted by Rammstein are something like pure elements of libidinal investment. Enjoyment has to be, as it were, condensed in some minimal tics: gestures, which do not have any precise ideological meaning. What Rammstein does is it liberates these elements from their Nazi articulations. It allows us to enjoy them in their pre-ideological state.

The way to fight Nazism is to enjoy these elements, ridiculous as they may appear, by suspending the Nazi horizon of meaning. This way you undermine Nazism from within. - Zizek

I mean, this is like the black metal bands that pretend they are nazis. It's shock value and pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable in art to its absolute extremes.

it's mocking nazis. it's so over the top it can't be taken seriously

precisely, but they're too big to have their gigs cancelled, so no worries about this. it's Rammstein, Till Lindemann ain't gonna bow down for any little wanker.

I think the song titles are [explanation/translation in brackets]

1 Deutschland [Germany]
2 Madig (?) Radio (?) [radio is radio, madig is literally maggotty. It's used in "jemandem etwas madig machen" -> to put someone off something]
3 Fick Dich (?) [could be any four letter verb. Fick dich means fuck you]
4 Ausländer [foreigner]
5 Sex
6 Puppe [puppet]
7 Was ich liebe (?) [pretty sure about that one, translates to what I love]
8 Diamant [diamond]
9 Weit Weg [far away]
10 Tattoo
11 Tallymann [google it, it's the same in English, but I never heard of it before]

it reminds me of the discussion they have in This Is Spinal Tap where they are arguing why Duke Fame's cover isn't sexist, while Smell the Glove is

"Because he's the victim. Their objections were that she was the victim. You see? if the singer's the victim, it's different. It's not sexist. I mean if we had all you guys tied up, that probably woulda been fine."

It's such a fine line between stupid and clever

The lyrics and the video seem to capture the ambivalence you feel towards a country you were raised in and that you appreciate, but you know many people did and still do disgusting things in its name.

It's a bit confusing and I could be wrong about this, but atm that's the way I look at it

Whoa this song is so good

So I wonder if Ramm4 is going to be a part of the album. If it does it might have a different title by the looks of it.

amazing production
amazing video
amazing song

will this finally convert me to a rammstein faithful?

@Tomstein: don't think so, it is too much of a live-burner. the lyrics literally reveal the sogns they will be playing at any given concert.

Song really grows on you. Intro gives me a Master of Puppets vibe. It's awesome.

I really liked Ramm4 too, there was never a studio release for the song though.

wait the song is really good i'm actually extremely surprised, didnt expect to enjoy a rammstein song in 2019 tbh

video is insane too

What an awesome video, neat song too

Got chills when the Sonne melody kicked in

Video of the year, no doubt about it. Song rips hard too.

Not a Rammstein fan but this video is maybe the best music video I have ever seen. Give me some videos that are as good as this!

Awesome video, excellent song


5/5

Very good video. Meh song.

love to see yall loving the video so much

makes me happy

was never big on rammstein but this song and subsequent album might actually change that

christ on a cracker that was absurdly good

Eargasm. Eargasm all over myself.

Crazy good. Stunning visuals and the song is a banger.

went on a Rammstein binge today to celebrate m/

^ bout to do the same. this fucking slays

video is dope too. German's as Roman legion is fucking whhhaaaaa

It's not the Germans as a Roman legion, it's the Germans beating up the Roman legion. Or at least it's a reference to the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.

The black woman seems to be Germania. It's smart to do it that way, so you can distance this stuff from nationalism.

those are definitely the dudes in the band, who are German, dressed as the Roman legion. also, Teutoburg Forest most definitely took place before 16BCE but alright

"so you can distance this stuff from nationalism."

You (Germany, Germany over all)

lol ok

I mean, the guys who get hanged are also the dudes in the band and the people in the concentration camps came from multiple nations (and germany). I don't see that as a contradiction.

He sings "Germany above/over everyone" to be precise. It's a reference to "Germany over everything", buuut it's more about the violence in its history and not about glorifying. It's playing with this stuff and twisting their meanings. This is a bold move. But maybe a bit too subtle for not getting lost in translation.

It looks like the people in the space suits are scanning stature and artifacts. The other scenes with these lasers are probably reconstructed out of the data or something like that. That's a hell of a video

''it's more about the violence in its history and not about glorifying. It's playing with this stuff and twisting their meanings.''

THIS. A very bold move indeed. Love love love them for it.

I liked the part where the tatical police guy with the p90 starts shooting at a bunch of medieval knights

Like fish said earlier, it's like they never left.

This.

Shit, there is actually a guy accusing them of nationalism. I thought that was only for tabloids.

WHO IS PAYING YOU KEV?

I don't think he's serious.

If he is, there's probably some kind of medication for whatever fugue state blocked the nine minutes of contextual, lyrical and tonal clues from registering.

Quoting Zizek.
Nice.

Video fucking rules.
Song fucking rules.

imagine they started their concerts with this song and had all the crazy red lasers going all over the place. shit, i wish i got tickets now

Listened to this again today, still rules. Black chick is sexy too

the shots of her in that medieval armor make her look incredible

I liked her in the gold with the 6 dogs on leashes the most lol

pretty good song

"I don't think he's serious.

If he is, there's probably some kind of medication for whatever fugue state blocked the nine minutes of contextual, lyrical and tonal clues from registering."

don't med shame me you ableist scum

I see there are a lot if people who say this video is great. Could you also explain why?

The aesthetics are pleasing while showing us a controversial tour of German horrors through the ages.
I'm not sure you can appreciate what ENORMOUS BALLS this takes.

And as a bonus the music is better than we were allowed to expect.

''what ENORMOUS BALLS this takes.''
[2] That, in combination with the super nice visual style and the huge amount of work and dedication and care that went into making this. Love that they still feel the band is worth all that trouble.

''And as a bonus the music is better than we were allowed to expect'' Yeah and this too.

The video is a feast for the eyes. So many details with links to german history and iconography, it's impossible to take it all in with a single viewing.

I mean as far as the details and work that went into the video... not to stereotype but they ARE GERMAN. Germans are very pedantic as a general rule and like organization and detail. Heard a story about a German Swiss guy cleaning a trash can with a toothbrush. That's attention to detail.

WE'RE ALL LIVING IN GERMARIKA

Latest thing I heard about these guys was that their vocalist was going to do a trap/trap rap project or smth like that.

Did that actually happen haha?

> not to stereotype

RippingCorpse1986 I think it's just one track for the new Lindemann album. Most of the rest of the album is going to be from the Hansel and Gretel play they did I believe. The trap rap song is called Mathematik, I prefer the metal cover version some smaller channel did though that I found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44aEAC6rwN8

Lovely video, decent song.

Thanks for the response, Tomstein.

I need to rejam these dudes after being away for so long. Also gotta hear the trap rap song, just for the lulz.

By the way, there was another great video by a German band just a few weeks ago. Not this outrageous in production, but still great. It's also 100% more weird. Check out Deichkind:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1coEIN7safI

album cover is a matchstick

bet the album is going to be self titled

So ready for another single.

SPUTLAND

"bet the album is going to be self titled"

yeah they pretty much said it is 5 weeks ago

album is confirmed to be lit

3 days left lads. my body is ready

whoever's got erectile dysfunction *swoosh* no longer does

Ive got the dick-ah

"3 days left lads. my body is ready "

I don't think i'll ever be ready

you going to any other their tour shows gonz?

would love to, but one UK date and it sold out instantly. joke. I should have seen them in 2010 or 2012 when I had the chance.

you?

nah. the UK venue is harder and more expensive to get to than a lot of the mainland europe dates for me, and I live in scotland

but ive seen them 3 times before in arena sized venues. im not a fan of big stadium gigs, so im not too fussed about missing this tour

yeah, I hate stadiums too, it's all about the dingy 1,000 capacity club

Need a stadium for the flamethrowers, otherwise it's a safety hazard

I still think about this video

I was like 'whoa what, new music again?!' when you bumped this bloc. But yeah, this vid is still on my mind too.

They could make a sweet corona-themed album

Agreed, instead of Germany they could call it Many Germs...geddit?....nah?..anyone?...ok.

goddit was gud lel

fawk yea

All the Germans locked in together must make for some inspiration into degeneracy, a la Puppe.
