After what feels like an age of teasing, German heavy metal icons Rammstein have announced their first new record in ten years. They have also shared the lead single from the album, ‘Deutschland’.
Rammstein has also shared an epic 10-minute accompanying music video for ‘Deutschland’. The Specter Berlin directed clip explores various incidents of violence throughout human history. It covers everything from bare-knuckle boxing to the Holocaust. It’s gruesome as all hell so don’t watch it if you’ve got a weak stomach. If you think you’re up for it, check it out below.
