History Music / Rammstein

* AntiLoveSong: ''Many'' of them, but "Stein um Stein", "Herzeleid" and "Amour" come to mind.
** Also "Was Ich Liebe" as one of the newest examples.
** "Bück Dich" and "Ich Tu Dir Weh" are less love songs and more... [[ObligatoryBondageSong fuck songs]], but the latter even specifically spells out "You love me because I don't love you"...

* GenreRoulette / NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: A surprise which came with their newest SelfTitledAlbum. Here you're having the synthpop vibe of "Ausländer", bluesy hooks of "Sex" and even the chorus of "Puppe" akin to 90's PostHardcore to say the least.

* RecordProducer: All of Rammstein's albums have been produced by Jacob Hellner.

* SurprisinglyGentleSong: "Seemann", "Ohne Dich", "Ein Lied", "Amour", "Nebel", "Frühling in Paris", "Roter Sand" and "Stirb Nicht Vor Mir" (the latter two are notable for not featuring any heavy guitars)... They have a fair few songs like this.

* BilingualBonus: "Moskau" has parts sung in Russian; "Amerika" and "Stirb Nicht Vor Mir" have parts sung in English, while "Pussy" is in straight English apart from [[InvokedTrope invoked]] GratuitousGerman; there're also English versions of "Du Hast", "Engel" and "Amerika" among the singles; "Amour" and "Frühling in Paris" have some parts sung in French; and "Te Quiero Puta!" is sung entirely in Spanish. "Mein Teil" has the occasional moment where he'll say "Yeah this is mein teil" instead of the usual "Es ist mein Teil".

* AuthorVocabularyCalendar: The sun shining is referenced in some way in "Rammstein", "Engel", "Küss Mich (Fellfrosch)", "Mein Herz Brennt", "Sonne", "Mutter", "Morgenstern", "Mann Gegen Mann", "Hilf Mir", "Liebe ist für Alle Da" and "Halt". The motif appears on *every single album.*

* EstablishingSeriesMoment: The band wanted a video to promote their first song "Rammstein", and out of sheer tenacity, decided to ask Creator/DavidLynch to produce the video. They sent him a cassette of the ''Herzeleid'' album along with some promo material, not expecting him to reply. To their surprise, he not only loved the album, but asked them to allow him to use some of the songs in his movie ''Film/LostHighway'' (which they agreed to). The resultant attention from this led to the band doing the unthinkable of being a German language band with a sizable US following. Numerous musicians raved about the band, including Music/{{Korn}}, who invited Rammstein to appear on their Family Values tour in 1998. During this time period, Rammstein even recorded some material in English for the US market, these being their cover of Depeche Mode's "Stripped" and English versions of "Engel" (Angel) and "Du Hast" (You Hate). Rammstein's popularity grew with the NuMetal movement, with their famously theatrical live shows attracting attention, until reaching huge proportions with the Mutter album in 2001. The appearance of the band and use of "Feuer Frei" in the well-known Creator/VinDiesel movie "XXX" sealed the deal. Thanks to these business decisions, they are one of the most successful metal bands on the planet despite many of their fans not speaking German.

* CarefulWithThatAxe: They're a metal band, come on. For example, the bridge of "Mein Teil", the end of "Stein um Stein", the chorus of "Wiener Blut" and "Bückstabü", a few lines in "Weißes Fleisch", and the "an den großen roten... AUGEN!"[[note]]"on the big red... eyes!"[[/note]] in "Laichzeit".

* TruckDriversGearChange: In the climax of "Mutter".

* CanadaDoesNotExist: The ''Rammstein in Amerika'' DVD is billed as a recording of Rammstein's famous Madison Square Garden show in 2010; in reality, the DVD is a composite of the two North American shows from that year (Madison Square Garden in New York and the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada). Even though the DVD tip-toes around mentioning this, it becomes readily apparent when some of the crowd shots include Canadian and Quebec flags being waved, as well as shots of the Montreal Canadians hockey team logo on the stadium entrances.

* TheCameo: Music/MarilynManson (the person) appears in "Haifisch" in a few [[FreezeFrameBonus blink-and-you'll-miss-it shots]]. The same video briefly shows photographbs of Music/HenryRollins and [[Music/Metallica James Hetfield]] as the band members consider who'll replace Till as the vocalist.

* DestructiveSaviour: The firemen in "Benzin" obliviously plow through trees, cars, buildings and a train with their enormous fire engine on their way to rescue a single suicide jumper. [[spoiler:And they fail even at that.]]
