History

Rammstein built a sound out of almost nothing: a downtuned guitar figure played in unison by both guitarists, a four to the floor kick, a synth line laid over the top, and a voice declaiming German in a low, rolled, deliberately overarticulated baritone. The band came together in Berlin in the early 1990s out of the East German scene, and the machine-like discipline of the arrangements gave the style its name, Neue Deutsche Härte. Du Hast is the clearest statement of the formula, built on a pun that no translation carries. Sonne and Engel show the other half of the method, a melodic chorus sung high and clean against the weight underneath. Singing in German rather than switching to English turned out to be the decision that travelled, and no other German-language act has sold on that scale, past 25 million records. Live, the songs work as a frame for pyrotechnics, and the staging counts for as much of the identity as the riffs do.
