History Music / Rammstein

* AllGermansAreNazis: The band wrote "Links 2-3-4" as their counterarguement to this accusation. They've even said on interviews that they hate Nazis as well. In addition, actually paying attention to their lyrics make it fairly obvious that they aren't Nazis...

* ThisIsSPARTA: "RAMM! STEIN!"

* CueTheSun: [[{{CaptainObvious}} Sonne.]]

* ShoutOut: The strange screaming noises in "Wollt Ihr Das Bett in Flamen Sehen?" are creature death sounds from ''{{Doom}}''.

* MetalScream: Used (to an extent) in the chorus of "Wiener Blut", and at a few points in "Mann Gegen Mann". The [[CarefulWithThatAxe ending]] of "Stein um Stein" [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel also counts]]... doubly reinforced by the final word meaning "scream."

* EasterEgg: The [[NightmareFuel voice clip]] hidden either in the pregap of ''Reise, Reise'' for European pressings or at the start of the song for the US pressings. The clip itself is the last 38 seconds of the cockpit voice recording from the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAL123 JAL123 disaster of 1985]]. What with the wee tiny matter of it being the ''deadliest single aircraft incident in history'', said easter egg was removed from Japanese pressings and later US pressings. It's complicated.

* TheBandMinusTheFace: "Haifisch". The rest of the band are already discussing ''at Till's funeral'' who to replace him with.

* BeachEpisode: The video for ''Mein Land''.

Rammstein is a six-man self-described "tanz-metall" (dance metal, though their actual style has them as the [[TropeCodifier codifiers]] of Neue Deutsche Härte, a form of industrial metal) band hailing from Germany. They take their name from the Ramstein airshow disaster of 1988. The band consists of:

* GreatBallsOfFire

* EastGermany

* TheNineties

* RefugeInAudacity

* BilingualBonus: "Moskau" has parts sung in Russian; "Amerika", "Pussy" and "Stirb Nicht Vor Mir" have parts sung in English; (there're also English versions of "Du Hast", "Engel" and Irony "Amerika" among the singles) "Amour" and "Frühling in Paris" have some parts sung in French; and "Te Quiero Puta!" is sung entirely in Spanish.

* ParentalIncest: "Wiener Blut" is supposedly based off the [[CompleteMonster Josef Fritzl]] case.

* PyroManiac: "Benzin" is, in many ways, a love song to flame. It's more surprising that it took them five albums to write it than that it was the only song off ''Rosenrot'' ever played in concert.

* TheBandMinusTheFace: "Haifisch". The rest of the band are already discussing ''at Till's funeral'' who to replace him with.

* TitleOnlyChorus: "Herzeleid", "Heirate Mich", "Links 2-3-4", "Mutter", "Rein Raus", "Benzin", [[strike: "Rammleid"]]...

* Richard Z. Kruspe - guitarist, backing vocals
* Paul Landers - rhythm guitarist, backing vocals
* Oliver 'Ollie' Riedel - bass guitarist
* Christoph Doom Schneider - drummer
* Christian 'Flake' Lorenz - keyboardist

* SopranoAndGravel: "Engel", "Moskau", to some extent "Spieluhr" (which features vocals from Khira Li, Richard's daughter), and "Stirb Nicht Vor Mir (Don't Die Before I Do)" (featuring vocals from Sharleen Spiteri of Texas). Also "Halleluja", the hidden track from Mutter.

* TheCameo: MarilynManson appears in "Haifisch" in a few [[FreezeFrameBonus blink-and-you'll-miss-it shots]].

* PlayingToTheFetishes: There's a sexy snake-holding woman in the "Engel" video, as well as foot fetishism.

* TrueCompanions: The band has repeatedly stated that if any of its members were to leave, the entire band would quit. They had the same lineup since they first began in 1994.
