History of rammstein

Rammstein was founded by guitarist Richard Z. At that time, he was heavily influenced by American music, especially Kiss. After the Berlin Wall came down, he moved back home to Schwerin, where Till Lindemann worked as a basket-weaver, played drums in the band First Arsch. Richard realized that the music he had previously created did not properly suit him; He envisioned something that would combine machines and the sound of heavy guitars.

The three started working together on a new project. Richard soon found it extremely difficult to write both music and lyrics at the same time, so he talked Lindemann into joining Rammstein. Richard first discovered Till when he overheard him singing while he was working.
