Rammstein is a German heavy metal and hard rock band. They were founded in 1994 in Berlin, Germany. The founding members were lead guitarist Richard Kruspe (born in 1967 in Wittenberge, East Germany) and drummer Christoph Schneider (1966, East Berlin, East Germany).
Guitarist Kruspe came up with establishing a new metal band in 1993 while playing for the fledgling band Orgasm Death Gimmick. He recruited drummer Schneider, then lead vocalist Till Lindemann (who was a basket weaver by trade). While they were all big fans of American rock and metal, they set out to develop a unique German metal sound.
They originally named their new band “Rammstein-Flugschau” (meaning “Rammstein Airshow” in English), a reference to the 1988 Ramstein air show disaster in which 3 aircrafts collided during an air force display. They spelled the name of the airbase with double M by mistake. However, this later provided plausible deniability when they tried to distance themselves from the origin of their band name, which has since been shortened to "Rammstein".
The newly founded metal band entered a talent search contest in Berlin in 1994. They won, and their prize was access to a professional recording studio for a whole week. It was also a great opportunity for them to be noticed by the local music industry.
Thus, they released their debut album “Herzeleid” (“Heartbreak”) in September 1995 through the independent German record label Motor Music. By that time, the band line-up was expanded by the addition of second guitarist Paul Landers, keyboardist Christian Lorenz, and bassist Oliver Riedel.
Their first record became a massive hit, reaching the #2 spot on the charts in Germany, and also charting in many other European countries, such as Austria, Hungary, and Switzerland. In 1997, they even got to embark on their first Rammstein concert tour in the United States, with the Hamburg-basedEDM group KMFDM.
Since then, the Berliner metal band has released 7 more albums, thus they have 8 in total. The best selling one is their second, “Sehnsucht” (“Longing”). It was released in August 1997 and managed to sell over 3 million copies worldwide. Meanwhile, the latest new Rammstein studio album came out in April 2022, with the title “Zeit” (“Time”). Rammstein’s biggest hits to date are “Du Hast” (“You Have”, 1997), “Ich Will” (“I Want”, 2001), “Sonne” (“Sun”, also 2001), and “Deutschland” (“Germany”, 2019).
Their current line-up is still made up of the same musicians that played on their debut album. Rammstein is credited with kickstarting the “Neue Deutsche Härte” movement in Germany and Austria, which is a new, European subgenre of metal and hard rock. They’re also known for their spectacular live Rammstein concert performances which often involve ambitious pyrotechnics.
