I believe everyone has seen "Xxx", and the original soundtrack of the movie is only rapped by this band. What are tanks? Tanks come from Germany, the former East Germany, a country under dictatorship. The sonorous metal guitar strumming, the doomsday-like lead tone, and all the conspiracy come from the German RAMMSTEIN (Chariot Band).

The overweight and majestic metal guitar blends with industrial confusion, and the firm and dark German lyrics rush out, bombarding your eardrums, making you toss and turn, but you are still immersed in uneasiness. It is destined that you will die. Zeppelin-style RIFF, the cold electronic essence of KRAFTWERK, and elegant female voices pour into your ears from different places, burning cold fire inside. So, endless floods began again and again, and you were drowned.

In the new album, they sing "My dear child, take care of yourself, I am the voice in your pillow, I bring you something, something ripped from my chest.' , after the gloomy murmur, the violent roar "Don't leave an umbilical cord in my belly, mother, mother!!!" and the similar political allegorical Snow White story in the MV, can't help but make you feel happy. .

The RAMMSTEIN band from Germany, we have translated it as Rammstein, or it is also called German Rammstein. The specific name is not within the scope of discussion. We only need to know that it is a band that can make anyone - whether it is rock or not/ This is a band that metal fans can’t help but be excited about.

"SEHNSUCHT" is an important album that made this band famous. It is also the first album recommended by many fans in mainland China who know this band. The album was released in 1997 and is the band's second album. Many people discuss the elements of their music. Some professional review websites call them PROG--METAL, KURTW calls them industrial metal, and I am more accustomed to calling them electronic metal.

Objectively speaking, RAMMSTEIN has inherited the tradition of excellent German electronics, and in terms of song rhythm, most of them use a very popular dance music rhythm - that is, a simple 4/4 time, synchronized Coupled with the sampled distorted guitar riffs, it creates a feeling that makes people excited for no reason and makes them want to dance. Most of the background samples they use are clear and elegant, not as obscure and heavy as in traditional industrial music, nor as noisy and disordered as in industrial noise. In terms of singing, it feels like a German at first listen. The deep male voice always lowers his voice no matter how exciting the background music is. Even the female voice who harmonizes uses a mid-range singing voice. The whole feeling is cold. Suppression, at this time the rhythm of the music really feels like their name - a chariot, which has been pushed forward and airtight.

The band has been sharply accused by the German media of being neo-Nazis and fascist admirers. The reason may be due to the atmosphere of the band's live performances. In RAMMSTEIN's own words: "We are horror romantics." Their performances mix many dramatic and magic effects, especially the use of flames as props. So someone was responsible for their costumes, and the topless behavior during the performance and the background of a huge yellow flower under the firelight were all harbingers of the emergence of a new racism. In addition, some people compared the singing of lead singer LINDEMANN to Hitler's speech. However, in fact, RAMMSTEIND's music is nothing more than a chant of lost love, longing for it, and anger at betrayal, and does not involve the slightest bit of speech or political tendency regarding issues left over from history.

engel, this is the famous song in the album. The sampled whistle at the beginning has become a landmark in the hearts of many music fans. As for the songs, they still have the same old structure. Everyone is used to their way of expressing music, and it almost never feels repetitive. Although their structure basically has no changes, they have changed the samples, riffs, and made small adjustments to the rhythm details. , coupled with the cooperation of background female vocals, you can just enjoy the activity and beauty brought by the music.

Du Hast is also a famous single in the album. This song appeared in the famous 1999 science fiction film "The Matrix". The lyrics of this song are very simple, and the arrangement is also very simple. In addition to the electronic keyboard sounds that appear at the beginning and end, the background samples are just the sounds of a few samplers in the middle, and there is also a repeatedly used vocal sample. The whole presentation is indeed endless. Power, few people who hear this song are not excited. I once suddenly played this song in a room with many young people, and it caused a burst of restlessness and screams. This is Their charm.
