Can anyone guess what I'm listening to right now? Thats right, I am jamming out to Rammstein. *banging head*

Rammstein is, I think, the only mainstream German heavy metal band. They sing almost entirely in German. But the reason people listen to them is because their guitar is so off the wall. The music is just amazing stuff. Who cares if I can't understand what they're saying? I can still play air guitar! [Wink]

Despite your not knowing what they're saying, take comfort in the fact that their lyrics are actually pretty good. I love "Du hast/hasst" for exactly that reason.
Happy listening! ^-^

Try listening to E Nomine. They sing in almost all German, with some latin I think.

And they sing some English songs too. It's a good band. Has female vocals mixed in, which is cool.
