RAMMSTEIN are a PHENOM. The most successful rock band of the last year. Honored with platinum records, the silver Bravo-Otto and an ECHO. More than 1.3 milo sold albums and three single hits in 1998 - and now also on the jump into the US charts. An exciting balance sheet.
Although RAMMSTEIN's debut, Herzeleid, has appeared in the charts time and again over the past two years, and has had enormous sales figures for a rock debut right from the start, the big breakthrough came last year with the single Engel. Hard enough for RAMMSTEIN fans April poppy enough for radio and television.
The very first RAMMSTEIN single Du riechst so gut also had that certain pop appeal. At that time alone, nobody knew RAMMSTEIN. The CD maxi was played up and down in rock clubs, sold around 8,000 copies among fans and was neither on the radio nor on the airwaves.
That is to change now. A new mix by the RAMMSTEINers themselves, as well as seven other remixes by such illustrious people as Billy Gould (Faith No More) or the KMFDM posse and the very first RAMMSTEIN video that never saw the light of day, DU RIECHST SO GUT '98 contains.
A great song from a great band for fans and those who might become fans. There will also be a new, appropriate video - in typical RAMMSTEIN style. A mixture of Patrick Süßkind's Perfume and the cult movie Wolfen. You can see this work from the middle of Mal on VIVA & MTV.
Du riechst so gut '98 not only satisfies fans' cravings for rare RAMMSTEIN material like the video, but also combines the pop qualities of an angel with the freshness and energy of Herzeleid. SUPER - RAMMSTEIN-POP. For DANCING, for SINGING along and of course for PLAYING IN THE RADIO. Live this new single will be heard on the following dates:
