Rammstein is a German industrial metal band that has built a solid reputation for itself as one of the more theatrical live bands--with pyrotechnics, lasers, absurdist costumes and lavish stage decorations. Founded in 1994, Rammstein established a regional following in Germany before releasing its debut 1995 album, Herzeleid. While the group managed to resonate well with followers of forward-thinking European metal, Rammstein properly broke out in 1997 when it released its album Sehnsucht, which featured the crossover hit "Du Hast."
