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: In Amerika Documentaries
„Rammstein in Amerika“ tells the story of this unique band through the prism of the cultural exchange its members have had with the world’s pre-eminent superpower. Home movies and private photos going back to the 1980s take us behind the Iron Curtain to the bands whose members would one day fuse to create Rammstein, while eye-opening behind-the-scenes footage, interviews and incredible concert excerpts from across the years are woven together to tell their amazing tale. We hear from the record execs, PR men, agents and promoters that thought Rammstein could never make it in America, and who lived to eat their words. The key to Rammstein’s success was the overwhelming shock and awe of their live show, a pyrotechnic extravaganza so intense that, to this day, the band can’t play within the city limits of Chicago due to rules dating back to the great fire of 1871. Rammstein aficionado Kiefer Sutherland puts their challenging American journey in context, and the film is peppered with tributes and anecdotes from other famous fans: Iggy Pop, Steven Tyler, Marilyn Manson, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Moby, Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and many more. „Rammstein in Amerika“ is an improbable but ultimately triumphant love story, fraught with adversity, misunderstanding and a heartening amount of cultural give and take. It’s a tale of Eastblock otherness in the American heartlands, of an industry that loves categorisation being invaded by a band that love to confuse, polarise and make people think – that have no qualms about presenting electronica and homoerotica to a rock crowd not famous for tolerating either, and getting arrested for their troubles. „Rammstein in Amerika“ offers an all-access window onto this trans-Atlantic rock’n’roll odyssey. By turns naïve, touching and wild, it is a story of an artistic communion with the fans that transcends all cultural barriers, of thunderous music and, of course, of fire. „Making of Liebe Ist Für Alle Da“ is a short film about the making of Rammstein’s Liebe Ist Für Alle Da album. In 2008, after taking an unprecedented year off, the members of Rammstein reconvened on a hilltop in Sonoma in northern California to start work on what would become their „Liebe Ist Für Alle Da“ album. This 21-minute film tells the inside story of those sessions.
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: Völkerball the Documentary - Anakonda im Netz
Rammstein present themselves as never before. The 60-minute documentary ‘Anakonda im Netz’/ ‘Anaconda in the Net’ reveals – more than ever before – what it is that keeps the Rammstein flame burning as brightly as it does. The documentary examines a whole range of topics, from the pure logistics of keeping Rammstein on the road, to the group’s regular pre-show ritual, plus the ups and downs of life as a touring musician – which in this particular case can involve either being burnt or having your shoes ripped off. The documentary ‘Anakonda im Netz’ combines onstage material and unique documentary footage to provide an exclusive insight into these musicians and the Rammstein story.
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.
