Rammstein – ‘Sehnsucht’ CD

Rammstein’s second album, ‘Sehnsucht,’ finds the German progressive metal band making a great leap forward.

While the group still sounds a little unfocused in places, their blend of industrial noise, grinding metal guitars, and operatic vocals are staggeringly powerful.

No other European metal band sounds like Rammstein, nor does any American metal group, and this is powerful, gothic metal that is unlike anything else in the late-’90s.

‘Sehnsucht’ may be an acquired taste, but it is worth acquiring.
