Rammstein
Germany, 1994–now
German band formed in Berlin in 1994, the defining act of Neue Deutsche Härte. Fusing down-tuned metal riffs, industrial electronics and Till Lindemann's rolled, guttural German vocals, with famously pyrotechnic live shows, they broke through with Herzeleid and Sehnsucht ('Du Hast') and became the most successful German-language band worldwide.
