Wait there is more! We love our tech, and we have tons of exciting features and articles in our Geek Tech section. From sci-fi related fictional tech to real-world tech that gets more sci-fi and comic booky by the day! When Rammstein covered the Depeche Mode song "Stripped" and used images from a film by Leni Riefenstahl in the video, it was a scandal: The band were castigated for quoting one of the most controversial directors in film history. In a statement, a spokesperson for the Berlin public prosecution’s office said it had initiated preliminary proceedings against Lindemann “over allegations relating to sexual offences and the distribution of drugs”. Then there is video game news, movie trailers, games, hot toys, the latest gaming news, the most recent comic movie news and the latest trailers.
He occasionally loosens that corset. In 2003, he appeared in German children’s film Amundsen Der Pinguin (about a penguin that finds treasure, obviously). In 2015, he collaborated with producer and Hypocrisy mainman Peter Tägtgren in Lindemann, a project that saw Till singing entirely in English. The duo subsequently worked on music for Hänsel Und Gretel, a 2018 play staged at Hamburg’s Thalia Theatre in which the singer also appeared as a phantom. In the Rammstein song, the "King of the Winds" endeavors to claim the boy, who finally dies in his father's arms, held too tightly in anticipation of an airplane crash. Rammstein's music is a snapshot of society. And the political situation in Germany has undergone major changes in the past,let's say,five years," says Melanie Schiller, pointing to the debate over migration and flight in Europe and the resurgence of right-wing populism in Germany; the far-right populist party Alternative for Germanyhas been represented in all 16 state legislatures since 2018. Lindemann, 60, has repeatedly denied the allegations through his lawyers, saying they were “without exception untrue”. Till radiates complete authority in my eyes,” says Rammstein keyboard player Flake Lorenz. “When he sings or says something, you realise that he also means it. That makes the whole song a lot more precious. Especially since there are singers who say or sing just about anything because it sounds good. With Till, you know that he means it.” That dedication extends to the band’s live show – Till is a certified pyro technician, which gives him a level of investment what happens onstage that other singers don’t have.
Not allofthe horror comes from Lindemann's pen. Some of the frontman's lyrics are inspired by classical German literature, exemplified by the most prominent poet in the language, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Goethe's famous ballad Erlkönig, for example, translated: Goethe and Lindemann The trauma of a country divided into two states and the building of a wall to separate them can clearly be heard in Rammstein, says Schiller —particularly in the song "Mein Land" (My Country) from the best-of album, Made in Germany(2011). It's known that the gunmen in the Columbine High School massacre in 1999 were Rammstein fans. In the weeks after the shooting, several US and British radio stations removed the band's songs from their playlists. And then there’s his life away from the arts. Till is both a father and a grandfather, with a house in rural Germany, far removed from the bustle of Berlin. “I fish. I hunt. I stare at the lake,” he says. “I sleep at night in the forest and listen. Terrific, what you hear at night in the forest. It’s indescribably beautiful. I hate noise. I hate chatter. I expose myself to it, which is pure masochism. And then I must protect myself from it. Noise drives you crazy. You’ll die in it.” Singer and lyricist Till Lindemann most often uses words having to do with the concept of "Liebe" (love). Second place in the Rammstein lyrics ranking goes to "Herz" (heart), followed by "Mann" (man) and "gut" (good). Apart from love, heart, man and good, words like child, skin, blood, face and hand; sun and light; scream, no, stay and see are frequent in Rammstein's lyrics
According to my experience, Rammstein's excesses and irony are perceived much more directly outside Germany. Those stereotypes originate there, and accordingly, that's where they are more easily understood and recognized. And most importantly, from that perspective, they are less painful," says cultural scholar Melanie Schiller, admitting that seen from the outside, many nuances, references and contexts are also lost. We tried singing in English when we first started out,” Christoph told us at the time, as all this stuff was calibrating and about to come good. “But we realised that it didn’t suit us, and we realised that Till’s lyrics, which are very strong, don’t translate well. So we decided to continue singing in German. And people used to come up to us and say, ‘Oh, what a fantastic band you are, it’s such a shame that you sing in German’.” The first look at this new version of Rammstein was an online snippet of the song Links 2 3 4, followed by the full single and video for Sonne. Inspired by having Snow White And The Seven Dwarves on television while the album was being mixed, and noting how well the song’s drama went with the visuals, the clip found the band working in a coal mine for an enormous Snow White.

Rammstein's exaggerations are so extreme that the band parades totalitarian ideologies in general, she says: "Rather than celebrating these ideologies, Rammstein shows how ridiculous they are." In case you missed it there will be info on upcoming comic book movies, superhero films, superhero movie news, superhero movies coming out. If you are like us, we have a voracious appetite for the newest comic book movie news. After all, the band hasits roots in the 1980s East German punk movement, who were dissidents of a politically repressive regime. The band's symbols are eagerly worn by their fans Image: picture-alliance/dpa/C. Soeder Schiller adds that this is not the only view expressed by the band: "Rammstein's music and the episodes in the videos are very open to interpretation. You can also read an idealized celebration of proto-German, national identity into them. And that's why Rammstein are popular across a broad spectrum of political philosophies. How they are judged has to do with where you come from, what you want to see and how you interpret it. Both readings are possible." It’s ironic that one of the most commanding frontmen in music never actually started out as a singer. In the mid-80s, he drummed for underground punk band First Arsch, alongside future Rammstein bandmates Richard Kruspe and Paul Landers. It wasn’t until Rammstein formed in 1994 that he properly assumed the job of frontman, though with hindsight it seems to be a role he was born to.
EpicHeroes have some geek tech videos and articles, cosplay, art, videos and so much more. We also sell lots of cool gear, gadgets, toys and merchandise. We were established in 2000 in London and have been going ever since.On our first and second album, we were very dependent on samplers and computerised music machinery, even to write the songs,” added Paul Landers. “And with Mutter, we really based the songs on the guitar and are only using technology to enhance it, to give it flavour. So we didn’t want to be slaves of the machines anymore.” Prior to this, Rammstein’s performances on UK soil had numbered two, and one of those was an appearance on MTV’s Hanging Out, for which they were billed as “David Lynch’s favourite band”. The other was a tiny show at London’s Powerhouse in November 1997, at which their famed firepower was diminished by the small venue and the law. Had they appeared on Channel 4’s EuroTrash, they would have fit well with the show’s double-edged ‘look at the crazy continentals having fun we’re missing out on’ banter.
On tour, Rammstein has used inflatable boats —an image familiar from refugees crossing the Mediterranean —in combination with a "Welcome" sign. We like art and colours and cosplay too so if you just want some eye candy we cater for you also! cosplay is basically guys and gals who like to dress up in superheroes costumes. If you’ve been a fan of Rammstein for a while, then you’re probably already aware of their interesting choices for merchandise. Still, he has always insisted that there’s more to his worldview than just 50 shades of lust. “I’m not obsessed with sex,” said the man who was a regular habitué of Berlin’s fetish clubs. “It’s a provocation, it’s a humour, and it’s the small, savoury spice in the stew that will make people listen up. It’s supposed to catch your attention. Nothing else.” The rolled "R" and the hyper-clear pronunciation are typical not only of Till Lindemann's singing but also of the cliched depiction of Nazis in films worldwide. The band's logo recalls the cross of the Wehrmacht, the symbol of the armed forces in Nazi Germany. The performances include many pyrotechnics and spectacular lighting: These are things that, to Germans nowadays, uncomfortably recall the Nazi regime.The sex toys industry has managed to infiltrate the music merch market over the years. A few years ago, Rammstein launched their very own line of pink dildos that were modeled after their own. They, of course, weren’t the first band to ever dabble in sex toys merch. The accusations are so serious that I have no choice but to give the protection and safety of women absolute priority.” EpicHeroes are big fans of Marvel movies, Marvel figures, we are very excited about Marvel Heroes Omega coming to consoles. Don't forget we will also have Marvel toys and Marvel Legends news and Marvel videos.
