Made in Germany 1995-2011 represents Rammstein’s 17 years and six full length albums of existence and, to be honest, it’s about time the Germany metallers combined some of their best material into one album. From the second the boys appeared shirtless on the cover of their 1995 debut Herzeleid, things were off and running, and now, nearly two decades later, Rammstein is a band synonymous with militant German belligerence, pulsating metal grooves and all around general craziness. Made in Germany 1995-2011 is a proper depiction of where the band has been and what they have done – all wrapped ...

German rockers Rammstein have warned the press to stop letting their "greed for news" stand in the way of accurate reporting after falling victim to media lies earlier this week. In a statement reportedly issued by the band's management company on Monday, it was announced front man Till Lindemann had left the band and former KMFDM star En Esch was to take his place.

German rockers Rammstein have responded to a hoax that fooled fans into thinking frontman Till Lindemann had quit. In a statement reportedly issued by the band's management company on Monday, it was announced Tillemann had left the band and former KMFDM star En Esch was to take his place.

But, on Tuesday, the band assured fans the press release was an elaborate hoax.

German industrial rockers Rammstein have acted quickly to replace frontman Till Lindemann, who announced his plans to quit the group on Friday.

In what was a very unlucky Friday the 13th for the band, Lindemann revealed he would be leaving Rammstein once work on the group's new album had been completed.

A spokesman for the singer says, "Till's decision is mainly based on the increasing inharmoniousness within the band and was well deliberated. He will head now for other challenges which can be a solo career or maybe a new project."

Few songs in the history of hard rock can whip up a concert frenzy like "The Final Countdown." And Europe, the composers of that anthemic classic, are back for more with a brand new album, Secret Society, out November 7, via Sanctuary Records.
