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。

距离上张专辑《我们来自地下》已经过去了6年，就连上一张EP《存在》的发行也已经是3年前的事了，如果你认为扭曲机器乐队已经停止了前进的脚步，那就大错特错了；实际上每隔一段时间，他们都会在现场演出中展示自己的新歌，无论是让人兴奋不已的《让摇滚的声音响彻整个夜晚》还是催人奋进的《坚定的信念》，还是反战歌曲《天堂里》，以及跟IN3合作的《都别废话》，已经让所有人对新专辑产生了无比的期待。

AC/DC 乐队将于今年六月份参加2010年Download音乐节,对于《钢铁侠2》的电影原声音乐AC/DC 乐队并未创作任何新的歌曲,Marvel Studios(惊奇漫画公司)和Columbia Records(哥伦比亚唱片公司)达成了一项罕见的合作协议——惊奇漫画公司可以随意挑选十五首AC/DC 乐队的歌曲作为《钢铁侠2》的电影原声.这张AC/DC乐队的电影原声大碟名为《AC/DC: Iron Man 2》,共收录了AC/DC乐队从1976到2008年间的十五首经典歌曲.
另外,《钢铁侠2》将于5月7日正式在美国公映,并且 AC/DC经典曲目Shoot to Thrill重新演绎的《钢铁侠》版MV已火爆出炉,Shoot to Thrill出自AC/DC于1994年发行的《Back In Black》(回到黑暗)，被公认为是AC/DC乐队最牛的专辑，同时也位列十大重金属专辑之一。《钢铁侠2》震撼的视觉效果和激情场面与这首歌完美地融合在了一起，充满力量，就像为其量身定做一般。
AC/DC是诞生于70年代的伟大摇滚乐队，他们以强有力的和弦、听觉上的空间感和压迫感成为后人竞相模仿的对象。70年代中期，Angus和Malcolm兄弟二人成立乐队后，是Bon Scott开始把乐队的音量调大，并发明出那种摇滚史上空前的刺耳音乐。不幸的是，1980年的某天，Scott因为酗酒而死，乐队看上去面临着生死危机。乐队招募到新主唱Brian Johnson后的第一张专辑“Back in Black(黑暗中归来)”，简单的全黑封面，是为纪念Scott而做的。出乎乐队的意料之外，这张专辑获得极大成功，并最终成为整个摇滚史上最好的经典专辑之一，在任何杂志评出的摇滚史的100张最佳专辑里，都不会少了这张“Back in Black”。Brian Johnson继承了Scott的使命，继续和Young兄弟一起做着简单直接的摇滚乐，直到今天。

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.

Formed in 2005, Grayceon is an atypical three-piece from San Francisco comprised of electric cello, guitar, drums, and double-vocals. Pulling together an extremely diverse range of musical influences and writing styles, Grayceon defies the boundaries of the metal/rock/progressive genres and builds a wall of sound so thick that it's a shock to know there are only three members. "This Grand Show" is the band's second full-length offering, comprised of dark, melodic, doom driven passages that will appeal to fans of the neo classical post-rock, metal, indie, and experimental scenes. Grayceon features Jackie Perez Gratz (Amber Asylum, Giant Squid) on electric cello and vocals, Max Doyle (Walken) on guitar and vocals, and Zack Farwell (Walken) on drums. Jackie also has performed on various albums by artists such as Asunder, Ludicra, Matmos, Neurosis, Two Gallants, and Today is the Day.

Lou Reed与重金属乐队Metallica的合作专辑，2011年11月发行。二者的合作始于2009年的摇滚名人堂25周年时Lou Reed与Metallica的同台演出，两年之后，他们开始计划合作录制一张录音室专辑。专辑中的歌曲都是Lou Reed近几年的未发行作品（其中许多是为戏剧Lulu创作），Lou Reed邀请Metallica为它们重新编曲。

Single for their contribution to the Depeche Mode tributealbum 'For The Masses'. It's backed with four mixes of 'Stripped' (Psilonaut Mix by Johan Edlund-Tiamat, Heavy Mental Mix by Charlie Clouser, Tribute To Dusseldorf Mix by Charlie Clouser and FKK Mix

99年6月，Lake Of Tears开始着手第四张专辑《Forever Autumn》（永远的秋），Christian Saarinen的加入使这专辑多了更丰富的键盘音乐元素。专辑所有的歌曲都出于Daniel Brennare之手。这张专辑已经不太金属了。里面出现了许多非常慢速抒情的曲调。这也许是Lake Of Tears心情历程的写照吧。
