Rammstein is a German rock band formed in 1994 in Berlin. The band's six-man lineup has remained unchanged since its formation, consisting of singer Till Lindemann, guitarists Richard Z. Kruspe and Paul H. Landers, bassist Oliver "Ollie" Riedel, drummer Christoph "Doom" Schneider, and keyboardist Christian "Flake" Lorenz.

Rammstein played a significant role in the mid-1990s as one of the founding bands of the German/Austrian subgenre known as Neue Deutsche Härte (New German Hardness). Their music combines elements of industrial rock and (groove) metal, drawing inspiration from acts like Ministry, KMFDM, and Metallica. While most of their songs are in German, they have also performed in other languages such as English, Spanish, French, and Russian.

Known for their award-winning live shows filled with pyrotechnics and theatrical performances both on and off-stage, Rammstein has redefined their music style as Tanz Metal (Dance Metal). The band's name originated during their formative years when someone wrote "Rammstein Flugschau" ("Rammstein Air Show") on a tour bus wall. Although it was misspelled, the name stuck with them despite its unintentional connection to Ramstein Air Base.

Rammstein is the much-anticipated seventh studio album by Rammstein, and their first album since 2009's Liebe Ist Für Alle Da.

In a recent interview with Guitar World, guitarists Richard Kruspe and Paul Landers explained how the German metal icons are taking a total different approach on their new, self-titled album.

“It’s not too sterile, not too clean,” Lander said. “It has a lot of life and energy in it, but it’s not all angry. The music is more than that. It’s different for Rammstein. You might even say it’s fun to listen to.”

He added: “Everyone with a computer can make music at home. You can program stuff and get nice-sounding drum programs and the sound is very good off the sound cards you have at home.

“That’s fine, but our goal was to have something that could never be done at home, where you really hear the humans behind the instruments. To see your drummer play when you work on songs and see there are real people involved in your band I think is good for us.”
