After the wall came down, he moved back home to Schwerin where Till Lindemann the singer of Rammstein worked as a basket weaver and played drums in the band First Arsch. Richard realized that the music he had previously made was not right for him.
He envisioned something with machines and hard guitars together. The three started working together on a new project. Richard soon found it hard to write music and lyrics at the same time.
He got Till to join them as he had often heard him singing while working. A contest for new bands was announced and the prize was studio time. The sleeves are all printed with additional art for each album in style of each individual cover. The covers are also customized on each album with shining lettering or embroidery lettering. The overall feeling is that everything has been considered and the albums don't feel like a mass release put together for quick buck but instead each one is a thought out release on vinyl that just now have been put together.
The box it comes in is a sturdy, sleek, black with a canvas feeling to it. It also has some minimal art on it. The box has to be sturdy since the whole thing weighs in around 3,5 kilos, that's 7,7 pounds.
It's a massive package that pretty much lives up to anyone's need for a Rammstein release on vinyl. Hopefully the prices won't go too high since there are supposedly 10 copies and I'm already seeing it sold for more than euros some places.
There is no other band that sounds remotely like Rammstein. The East German sextet's unique blend of metal, industrial, techno and classical musical elements has made it one of Europe's most successful rock bands ever since the release of its debut album HERZELEID which went platinum in several Euro territories. Release date: April 3, Rammstein are true entertainers.
The band's amazing show has become a worldwide must-see, prompting Kiss to have them along as special guests on a South American tour. Even their sternest critics must grudgingly admit that a Rammstein show is first and foremost great entertainment.
Rammstein At MySpace Normally I'm not a huge Rammstein fan at all, but I like a good deal of their songs and they are probably one of the most original bands in the music history. You can't really talk about originality on a live album, but it's probably the most important thing with this German band and I couldn't write this review without mentioning it. My German is more than limited; I understand maybe ten words on this album, but still I can't get enough of Till Lindemann's complete charisma.
German sure has to be one of the most brutal languages in the world and it fits more than perfect with the music. The rhythm of the music is monotonous and evil and the keyboards are industrial and spooky. All instruments sure provide a lot to the originality of Rammstein. Otherwise I can't say anything else but that Live Aus Berlin is the perfect live album for me. Everything is as it should be - all my favourites are featured, the performance is flawless, the production is raw and cold and still gives a great live feeling.
And of course the audience is great - Rammstein plus Berlin is a combination that can't be anything else than perfect. Hearing every single person of the crowd sing along in songs like 'Engel' and 'Du Hast' is shivering and can't be compared too many other live albums I know. Still I am very, very impressed and I have to say that 'Live Aus Berlin' is one of the best live albums ever.
