Hardly any German band is as controversial as Rammstein and enjoys this dubious reputation as much as the makers of music with hard sounds and even harder lyrics.
The founding of Rammstein in the early 1990s marked the beginning of a real success story. After the six members came together from various other bands, they landed their first record deal in 1995 and released the first of countless albums. A concert tour in Germany and the EU followed and the band hit the headlines with controversial actions. Incidents at concerts and an incident with the then MTV manager gave the men a reputation that preceded them far beyond the borders of their home country. Nevertheless, the first concerts took place in the USA in 1997 and the band gained international recognition and fame. Rammstein's performances were already legendary at the time: pyrotechnics, costumes or the lack of any clothing were and are an integral part of every concert and the band delivers much more than just their music. With this strategy, Rammstein has always made both friends and enemies. The sometimes offensive and deliberately provocative lyrics and music videos are part of the band's appeal for fans, but for critics they provide plenty of material for complaint. Rammstein consciously plays with its reputation and likes to take provocation to the extreme and sometimes even beyond.
In contrast to lyrics, music, performances and videos, the band's beer is uncontroversial. The crisp Pilsner in the band's design is brewed by country breweries in Germany according to the Bavarian Purity Law. It consists of hand-picked ingredients from regional cultivation and has a drinkable character that appeals to fans and enemies of the band alike. Thanks to its clean, clear and harmoniously bitter character, it goes wonderfully with a wide variety of different foods. It tastes best, of course, when you're standing in the middle of a roaring crowd of fans at a Rammstein concert, but the Pilsner also tastes good on the balcony, by the river, in the garden or on the sofa. And the music can simply come from headphones.
