About this deal

EpicHeroes have some geek tech videos and articles, cosplay, art, videos and so much more. We also sell lots of cool gear, gadgets, toys and merchandise. We were established in 2000 in London and have been going ever since. In a 2015interview for the magazine Cicero, Till Lindemann explained: "I'm always supposed to analyze my texts, but I actually don't think about them all that much." If you’ve been a fan of Rammstein for a while, then you’re probably already aware of their interesting choices for merchandise. Apart from literature, Rammstein references other elements of German culture and history. The music professor and musician Rob Burns found similarities between Till Lindemann's song texts and those of cabaret singers in the Weimar Republic. Costumes and sets from the band's live shows, he adds, echo the machinery aesthetics in Metropolis, Fritz Lang's expressionist film of1927. Mutter had been written in the winter of the millennium, and recorded in the summer of 2000. Their success in Germany had brought big hopes for the album, as well as a bigger production budget which enabled them to work in Studio Miraval in southern France. For scale, this facility had previously been used by Pink Floyd to make The Wall, Judas Priest for Painkiller, and AC/DC to do Blow Up Your Video.

We tried singing in English when we first started out,” Christoph told us at the time, as all this stuff was calibrating and about to come good. “But we realised that it didn’t suit us, and we realised that Till’s lyrics, which are very strong, don’t translate well. So we decided to continue singing in German. And people used to come up to us and say, ‘Oh, what a fantastic band you are, it’s such a shame that you sing in German’.” For the video accompanying their cover of Depeche Mode’s Stripped, the band had elected to use footage from Reich-era German filmmaker Leni Riefentsahl’s work Olympiad, from the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Riefentsahl had become a particular favourite of Hitler’s, after filming the 1934 Nuremberg rally for the infamous Nazi propaganda film Triumph Of The Will. It was meant to be artistic provocation. Not everyone saw it that way.Wait there is more! We love our tech, and we have tons of exciting features and articles in our Geek Tech section. From sci-fi related fictional tech to real-world tech that gets more sci-fi and comic booky by the day! In several interviews, Rammstein havestressed that none of the members of the band adheres toright-wing ideology. In a new video, the band again takes a stand on the "Stripped" video. Aeneas Hohenadl, manager of the performance technician company Riggerwerk, told Die Welt the goings on behind the stage at Rammstein concerts were “an open secret”. He said that included the alleged deliberate placing of women in “row zero” – directly in front of the stage – so they could later be recruited during shows as potential sex partners for Lindemann.

And then there’s his life away from the arts. Till is both a father and a grandfather, with a house in rural Germany, far removed from the bustle of Berlin. “I fish. I hunt. I stare at the lake,” he says. “I sleep at night in the forest and listen. Terrific, what you hear at night in the forest. It’s indescribably beautiful. I hate noise. I hate chatter. I expose myself to it, which is pure masochism. And then I must protect myself from it. Noise drives you crazy. You’ll die in it.” Till radiates complete authority in my eyes,” says Rammstein keyboard player Flake Lorenz. “When he sings or says something, you realise that he also means it. That makes the whole song a lot more precious. Especially since there are singers who say or sing just about anything because it sounds good. With Till, you know that he means it.” That dedication extends to the band’s live show – Till is a certified pyro technician, which gives him a level of investment what happens onstage that other singers don’t have. There's more to it than just Goethe: The Rammstein song "Rosenrot" (Rose-Red) takes its cue from Snow White and Rose-Red, fairy tales compiled by the Brothers Grimm. Snow White herself turns up in the music video to the song "Sonne" (Sun). In case you missed it there will be info on upcoming comic book movies, superhero films, superhero movie news, superhero movies coming out. If you are like us, we have a voracious appetite for the newest comic book movie news. The sex toys industry has managed to infiltrate the music merch market over the years. A few years ago, Rammstein launched their very own line of pink dildos that were modeled after their own. They, of course, weren’t the first band to ever dabble in sex toys merch.

Du Hast

Rammstein's music is a snapshot of society. And the political situation in Germany has undergone major changes in the past,let's say,five years," says Melanie Schiller, pointing to the debate over migration and flight in Europe and the resurgence of right-wing populism in Germany; the far-right populist party Alternative for Germanyhas been represented in all 16 state legislatures since 2018.

Rammstein's exaggerations are so extreme that the band parades totalitarian ideologies in general, she says: "Rather than celebrating these ideologies, Rammstein shows how ridiculous they are." On Wednesday, Lynn said she had appealed to Lithuanian police to rethink their decision not to pursue an investigation. In a statement, a spokesperson for the Berlin public prosecution’s office said it had initiated preliminary proceedings against Lindemann “over allegations relating to sexual offences and the distribution of drugs”.

Mutter

It's known that the gunmen in the Columbine High School massacre in 1999 were Rammstein fans. In the weeks after the shooting, several US and British radio stations removed the band's songs from their playlists. The accusations are so serious that I have no choice but to give the protection and safety of women absolute priority.”
