RAMMSTEIN

"Ich Tu Dir Weh" (English translation: "I'll Hurt You"), the new video from German Industrial metallers Rammstein, can be viewed at visit-x/rammstein. According to a press release, the clip "is the ultimate distillation of a Rammstein concert into five minutes. As with the preceding video, "Pussy", Jonas Åkerlund (Metallica, Satyricon, Madonna, The Prodigy) stands at the helm as director, and for "Ich Tu Dir Weh", he captures the show on the band's "rehearsal stage" in 35mm. A full-bodied format to do filmic justice to Rammstein's own brand of "widescreen" staging.
"The plan was simple. Åkerlund uses the language of grand cinema, Rammstein delivers the rest: the theatre, the flesh, the frenzy. The result is formidable. "Ich Tu Dir Weh" shows the band at its purest and most concentrated. A beast, only awakened to life onstage under the spell of fire and a maddening roar."

"Ich Tu Dir Weh" comes off Rammstein's new album, "Liebe Ist Für All Da", which sold 22,000 copies in the United States in it's first week of release to debut at position No. 13 on The Billboard 200 chart. Previously, the group's best rank came with its 1998 chart debut, "Sehnsucht", which peaked at No. 45 off the strength of its only U.S. radio chart hit, "Du Hast". Although the band just had its highest chart debut, "Reise, Reise" sold over 26,000 copies in the U.S. its opening week of sales.

Worldwide chart positions reaffirm Rammstein's status as one of the most internationally popular rock bands with seven #1 sales chart positions including their native Germany as well as platinum and gold certifications already awarded for numerous European countries.

"Liebe Ist Für Alle Da" arrived in stores on October 20 through a marketing and distribution deal with Vagrant Records and Universal Music Germany. The album was produced by Jacob Hellner and Rammstein, with recording done at Northern California's Sonoma Mountain Studio. The first single from the 11-track release is "Pussy", which was released as a digital single on September 22 and accompanied by one of the year's most viral videos.

Richard Z. Kruspe (Rammstein)

In a recent interview with Metal Hammer, Richard Z. Kruspe, the guitarist for German Industrial Metal outfit Rammstein, has explained the reasons for chosing the song, "Pussy" as their new single and the details behind the music video. An excerpt reads as follows:

"Originally we were going to do a song like "Mein Tiel", a core-sounding song", says Kruspe. "But we were bored of doing the same thing again and again and I said "let's do "Pussy". If we were to make a video for it, it could be really interesting. We went it out to our favourite director, Jonas Akerlund, and there was a 50/50 chance. He could love it or hate it. 3 hours later we got an email from him saying "I've listened to the track, let's make a revolution – let's make a porn!" and I don't forget the reaction of the band. They had a big smile on their faces and they say "yes!"

"After doing the video, which was obviously quite interesting, we thought "you can't play the video on video stations or MTV". We just found another way to make it accessible to other people. At the moment, we've had 6.5 million people watching the video in one week. What I'm saying is that there's always different ways.

"I remember how horrible it was in the first part of our career to be dependant on MTV and all of those station. You have to bend over so many times to get played, I just hate that fucking fact. I just like the fact that there's always another way if you wish for it and you go for it. It just shows that there is always another way and it satisfies my mind and that we can do things exactly the way we think we should do it.

"It wasn't a conscious thing, we just wanted to try something else. We shot a porn video, what's the best place we can host it? On a porn site!"

Was there any point where you thought you'd gone too far?

Kruspe: "It was really professional! I was amazed, I always thought the porn industry was so cruel and dirty. Everything was so professional, I was amazed."

Were they actual adult stars you used in the video and was the sex real?

Kruspe: "Yeah."

Stunt cocks or your own?

Kruspe: "No comment."

INDIRA RADIĆ

Indira prepjevala veliki hit "Du hast", koji u njezinoj verziji glasi "Preko, preko" (ali to već i vrapci znaju).

Naši Turbo Folkeri vole mažnjavati svjetske hitove, ali ima i onih Heavy Metalnijih - koji svoju inspiraciju traže u malo tvrđem zvuku. Tako je Indira "posudila" veliki hit Rammsteina i od njega napravila žestoku Turbo-Metal-Folk tvorevinu pod naslovom "Preko, preko". Još od ranije poznata po tome što savjesno prati sve glazbene trendove, Indira je teški gitarski ritam ove pjesme ispratila stihovima na našem, u čemu su joj iz pozadine vokalnu podršku davali macho muški vokali.

Rammstein bi ozbiljno trebao razmotriti ideju da na nekom od slijedećih albuma obradi vlastitu pjesmu, ovaj put s riječima Indire. Bilo bi neponovljivo iskustvo, slušati Tilla kako pjeva:

Ostavila riba more
'tela bi da diše
ostavilo sunce zemlju
ne vraća se više

Ostavila pamet glavu
pa ne zna za sebe
a i ja ću tebe, a i ja ću tebe

Chorus:
Preko, preko odlazim daleko
mene čeka, čeka drugi neko
preko, preko odlazim daleko
života mi moga idem za drugoga
