Rammstein - World Stadium Tour 2019-2024: The Making Of
Here, the real star is the show behind the show: In their nearly hour-long documentary "Rammstein – Behind The Scenes of the World Stadium Tour 2019–2024", the focus is not on the musicians themselves, but on the people who make Rammstein’s monumental performances possible in the first place. Directors Anne Winkler and Marek Weinhold provide a detailed look at the planning, processes, and countless tasks that must be completed before the band can even set foot on stage. Organizing concerts of this scale is always a massive undertaking—but Rammstein’s opulent pyro show, extraordinary stage design, and demanding lighting and sound requirements push their crew to face even greater challenges. The documentary offers an impressive and intimate glimpse into how a team of around 250 people rises to meet these demands. From scouting stadiums and drafting stage layouts, to bolting together massive stage components, rigging the lighting, testing the pyrotechnics, setting up merchandise booths, and preparing catering for the entire tour crew—fans are given an authentic sense of just how many steps it takes before the first flame finally ignites the night’s show. And even after the last note of the encore has faded, the work is far from over for the crew: steel beams, power generators, flamethrowers, instruments, mixing consoles, costumes—everything must be dismantled, packed up, and prepared for the next stadium performance within just a few hours. Watching the crew work hand in hand—highly focused but still smiling—makes the magic of this often-hidden world behind major tour productions truly tangible. Where other bands use documentaries to place themselves front and center, Behind The Scenes shines a light on those who make the musicians’ success possible—through personal portraits, brief interviews, and, most powerfully, the camera’s direct, unobstructed view over their shoulders.

Rammstein: Völkerball
From the very beginning of Rammstein’s career, there has been a unique bond between those onstage and those cheering them on. As with all successful relationships, it’s been founded on a combination of mutual respect, fulfilled expectations and the ability to provide that special gift at the right time – which is where ‘Völkerball’ comes in. ‘Völkerball’ is an exacting visual approach to the staged concert form that followers of the Rammstein cause have come to demand. The package includes 140 minutes of exclusive live onstage footage and celebrates the ‘Reise, Reise’ World Tour, where the six band members played to one million people across 21 countries between 2004 and 2005. There’s an entire concert from Nimes in Southern France, filmed in a Roman amphitheatre in front of 12,500 fans who, frankly, couldn’t have been more pumped up had they been saluting a favoured gladiator; add to this selected footage from London, Tokyo and Moscow.‘Völkerball’ is the perfect fan concert; it shows the six musicians as they push previous achievements to a whole new level of global success.

Rammstein: In Amerika - Live From Madison Square Garden
From the bone-crunching noise they make to the sexual sedition and craftily choreographed ultraviolence of their imagery, industrial rock giants Rammstein tirelessly court controversy and refuse to entertain the merest notion of compromise. They sing only in German, confuse and confound with relish and laugh at the hypocrisy of the guardians of taste. And yet, despite or because of this, they have become one of the biggest acts on the planet. Now, from one of the most extraordinary bands in rock, comes one of the most extraordinary rock films. The stunning 102-minute concertfilm includes the entirety of Rammstein’s legendary concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden on December 11th 2010, the show that sold out in 20 minutes and marked the band’s live return to the States after a ten-year absence.

Rammstein: Live aus Berlin
Since their beginnings in 1995, the heavy metal-techno-wonder Rammstein have established themselves as the most successful German-speaking band of all time, and after watching “Live Aus Berlin,” it is easy to see why. The concert recordings are proof – for fans and haters alike – that the performance skills of these six Berlin-natives are unparalleled. “Live Aus Berlin” showcases one hour of live material, compiled from two successive Rammstein shows at the ‘Parkbühne Wuhlheide’ in Berlin on the 22nd and 23rd of August, 1998. The recordings cover 17 songs from Rammstein's first two albums, Herzeleid and Sehnsucht. Their blend of crunching guitars, precision drumming and electric keyboards combined with Till Lindemann's haunting vocals makes for a staggering live experience. This is made even more spectacular by the stunts, lighting effects and breath-taking amount of pyrotechnics used by the band, including flame throwers, microphones on fire, band members on fire…in fact, just about any other variation of fire you can think of. Fire is indeed the central theme that pulls this unique show together and frames the performance (including a cartwheeling Till Lindeman wearing fire-spewing rocket shoes) as flashing lights pierce the night sky. The pulsating, yet melodic music makes it impossible not to tap your feet or sway to the rhythm. The filmed concert “Live Aus Berlin” is the perfect complement to any Rammstein fan collection, as the group burns down their main hits in a stage firework – in the truest sense of the word.
