頂著全球2000萬張唱片銷量、時代雜誌「年度最具影響力人物」、Spin「音樂領域中最具核心領導力藝人」、滾石雜誌「史上百大經典藝人」第94位，由創作鬼才Trent Reznor一手打造的王國Nine Inch Nails(以下簡稱NIN)，替工業金屬樂派帶出搖滾革命新震撼！
5歲開始學習鋼琴並接觸古典音樂課程的Trent Reznor，1989年以一人樂團NIN帶出充滿電氣竄流、令人窒息的貝斯和扭曲吉他響音，於獨立廠TVT發行『Pretty Hate Machine』，竟然在排行榜停留兩年之久，AMG送上5星滿分評價！90年代的Trent開始施展其影響力，著手創立音樂廠牌「Nothing」，簽入Pop Will Eat Itself、Marilyn Manson等樂團。EP『Broken』更因單曲“Wish”，獲得葛萊美「最佳金屬表演」獎。1994年的『The Downward Spiral』，受到70年代前衛搖滾的影響，可說是工業噪音的概念專輯，Trent還成為「Playgirl」十大性感男搖滾歌手之一，受邀參加Woodstock音樂節演出。1996 年一曲“Happiness In Slavery”再獲葛萊美「最佳金屬表演」獎，經典神話雙CD專輯『The Fragile』空降全美專輯榜冠軍，大破200萬張，藝術商業皆大獲全勝。
重新發行1989年一鳴驚人之作【Pretty Hate Machine】，光在美國本土即破300萬張銷售大關，Trent和葛萊美大師Flood(U2、The Killers)+Adrian Sherwood(Sinead O’Connor、Primal Scream)+John Fryer(White Zombie、Depeche Mode)齊力激發最燦爛的音樂火花。長達5分鐘的“Head Like A Hole”見面禮，成為跨進英美兩地主流市場的矚目關鍵，Trent爆發力十足的嗓音詮釋，更是迷人加分的重點；首支主打“Down In It”，利用Synth-Pop元素穿繞Industrial Rock裡頭，同時霸佔US舞曲榜以及搖滾榜Top16；濃厚的Funky頻率逐步瀰漫“Sanctified”全曲，神秘宗教般的吟唱從中浮現，有種不寒而慄的感覺；靜謐的“Something I Can Never Have”，漂浮迷離的詭譎氣息，沉溺在一種無法自拔的晦暗氛圍裡；舞曲榜No.10的“Sin”，瘋狂依舊，在電子力道輔佐下，交流陣陣簡潔有力的搖滾爽勁。最後加贈首度曝光作“Get Down Make Love”，是翻唱自華麗搖滾代表團Queen的優作。

简介
Rammstein是一支德国的重金属乐队，由东德地区一群厌倦了工厂生活的无产阶级组成。它们的音乐混杂了工业和电子成分。
他们的名字来源于Ramstein空军基地（加了个“m”）,也就是Ramstein空难的发生地。1988年8月28日，在一次美国空军的飞行表演中飞机相撞造成80人死伤。乐队起这样的名字旨在让人们不要忘记发生在空军基地的悲剧。从字面上看，“ram stein”其实是“石头大槌”的意思。
由于他们国籍的缘故，以及乐队阴暗的风格和军国主义的意象，他们被控为法西斯分子，当然事实上并非如此。Rammstein不想和政治扯上关系，假如非要有关，那他们是左翼。

Review by Dream_Taster

1997’s “Sehnsucht” is the second studio album from the most exposed German singing band on earth, Rammstein. In their characteristic style, quite difficult to label, but I guess close to Industrial Metal. Those six former East-Germans reached a status of international stars with this very album, especially in the United States, all of this starting after some of their songs were selected for a movie soundtrack ['Lost Highway' by David Lynch]. Then, this album just overwhelmed everybody who had the chance to listen to it, and all of this despite of the fact that all the songs use the natural language of the band, German. It even became mandatory for the band to sing in German since it has become one of the trademark of their music.

After you’ll unpacked the CD from its freaky artwork, it’s nearly impossible to put it back in there as it’s so unusual and transporting! Repetitive chorus, slow mechanical rhythms, hypnotic lyrics and odd keyboard lines make “Sehnsucht” into a curiosity that only the discovery of their first album “Herzeleid” can tied.

“Sehnsucht” is a collection of eleven songs, all around 4 minutes, and all so indispensable to the ambient atmosphere of the album. From the eponymous opener to the controversial “Küss Mich Fellfrosch” [I won’t translate that one, find out by yourself!], every song is an oeuvre d’art. True radio hits, especially in Germany, ‘Engel’ and ‘Du Hast’ are both amongst the best songs ever written by Rammstein. But it’s almost impossible to find a weak link on this album! ‘Eifersucht’, ‘Spielt Mit Mir’,... every track is worth a thousand words. My personal favorites are still ‘Klavier’, a odd ballad through the eyes of a sick mind, both heavy and melodic, and ‘Sehnsucht’, catchy as hell.

Rammstein is a phenomenon that needs to be checked out quickly if you still don’t know it. While their first album “Herzeleid” is probably better in the whole, “Sehnsucht” is without a doubt a great introducer to their music. Dark and complex lyrics add to the mystery that [still] follows the band, twisted emotions arise and Rammstein prevails.
