Original Single Kollektion is the first compilation by Rammstein. The collection was released on 22 June 1998.
The collection came in just one format: a red book-like box containing all then released, six singles (Du riechst so gut, Seemann, Engel, Engel (Fan-Edition), Du hast and Das Modell) in their respective standard jewelcase edition. The box is stylized after the DDR Parteibuch (the book of the GDR national party).
Germany's biggest rock export, Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein burst onto the international radar in the late '90s with their breakthrough sophomore set, 1997's Sehnsucht, and its accompanying hit single "Du Hast." With their aggressive blend of heavy metal riffs, dramatic orchestration, and synth-forward electronic production, the band quickly evolved from a sonic novelty into a reliably hard-hitting machine that never shied away from controversy…

Finally the time of waiting is over. 10 years have passed, since the last Rammstein studio album "Liebe Ist Für Alle Da" was released. Now rammstein is back with their brand new album 2019!
Rammstein’s seventh LP comes nearly 10 years after their last studio album, 2009’s Liebe ist für alle da. In December, guitarist Richard Kruspe told us in an exclusive interview that he believed the new album would “come out probably in April of 2019”. Turns out he was just a month off.
With the first Rammstein album you hear, it's hard not to be slightly amazed by the sheer chutzpah of it all. The German lyrics, the prog rock tendencies, the classic metal guitars, and the ridiculous basso profundo vocals - you either fall for it, spurn it, or are utterly bemused by the extremeness of it all. Unless you're a fanatic, it wears a little thin the second time around. And for most listeners, Mutter, the group's third album and sequel to their inexplicable commercial breakthrough Sehnsucht, will be the second time around since it's their first release since becoming a high profile act. Thing is, if you've heard that record, you've pretty much heard Mutter, since all the trademarks are in place, without much noticeable variation. Yes, there are slight differences, chief of which is the cleaner production, which streamlines everything so the guitars don't seem as heavy, the songs not as epic, and the whole enterprise not as ridiculous…
German industrial metal veterans Rammstein have revealed that their long-awaited new album will be released on May 17th.
Rammstein's second album, Sehnsucht, finds the German metal band making a great leap forward. While the group still sounds a little unfocused in places, their blend of industrial noise, grinding metal guitars, and operatic vocals is staggeringly powerful. No other European metal band sounds like Rammstein, nor does any American metal group - this is powerful, gothic metal that is unlike anything else in late-'90s metal. Sehnsucht may be an acquired taste, but it's one worth acquiring.
Rammstein were formed in 1993 by an assembly of factory-weary proletarians raised in East Germany. They took their name (adding an "m") from the location of a German tragedy where 80 people were hurt and killed as the result of a crash during an American Air Force flight show. (The literal translation of "ram stein" is a battering ram made of stone.) Word of Rammstein's horror/romanticist blend of theater and music one-time Olympic swimmer Till Lindemann would sing entire songs engulfed in flame from head to toe spread quickly.
