Rammstein really are the grand-daddies of doing whatever they want, aren't they? The German outfit have been wow-ing and shocking audiences with their filmclips for over 2 decades now, and they just don't stop making highly satirical videos to accompany their high-energy stadium metal.

More Rammstein More Rammstein

It seems it's a day for new German heavy music - Rammstein have dropped their latest cut from fortchcoming full-length, Zeit. The new single and video is called 'Zick Zack' - or ZigZag in English - and it's about as bonkers as Rammstein music videos get (well, within reason, they have literally released pornography previously!). 

The video sees the band as old men who have obviously been 'enhanced' by years of botox and plastic surgery, performing to 'regular' old people who are lapping it up. The band are surrounded by performers who are having plastic surgery done and they are being inspected by the band for presumably 'perfection'. The anxiety kicks in for the lead singer (played by Till Lindemann) when his face work begins to melt/droop and he begins to berate and perform his own fix-job with a stapler!

In terms of the music - It's not going to disappoint Rammstein fans - it's very much within the bounds of what you'd expect from Rammstein, but if you weren't already on board, it's probably more of the same to you! Regardless, Rammstein continue to punch out tracks that the back row of stadiums would feel deep down to their bowels.
