new Rammstein video

On one level, I find this morbidly fascinating.


On another, it's like rock'n'roll taken to its logical extreme. It's what I used to argue in favour of GG Allin, back in the day and when he would send me letters from prison - if you're going to be extreme, then be extreme. The only dilemma facing me right now is... um... do I risk having my blog given an Adult Rating if I directly link to Rammstein's rather repugnant but undeniably memorable new video?

Um. This is the disclaimer, OK? Please do not click on the below link if you are under 18. Or if you find there's something offensive about the way women are still portrayed in the porn industry. Or if you don't enjoy seeing German rock bands ejaculating during sex. Etc. Etc.

As they say on their website, After four years of studio-abstinence, the first single of the new album is coming out September 18th! PUSSY! Carried by a gigantic wave of testosterone, Rammstein unsheathes its sword and presents what makes man an animal. So start your engines. With pedal to the metal on the Autobahn of German clichés, where homage is paid to the hand-to-hand battle between the sexes with words like Bratwurst, Blitzkrieg, and Mercedes-Benz … to destinations abroad, past Heidi with her burgers and away from the German Fräuleinwunder. There, pleasure lurks like a yawning abyss….

Thanks to this man for the tip-off.
