"Rosenrot" translates as "Red-Rose". The fifth album from the Berlin sextet of Till Lindemann (vocals), Paul Landers (guitar), Christoph Schneider (drums), Richard Z. Kruspe (guitar), Flake Lorenz (keyboards) and Oliver Riedel (bass) make the impossible possible. They bring together what does not belong together: the Brothers Grimm and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Yes, it sounds absurd, but it's merely a stylistic device. The title fitting for this Rammstein album. It's a word like a poem, brimming with meaning and import; a poem that unites the beautiful with the ugly, the gentle with the cruel, and life with death.
When the Berlin Wall came tumbling down, and Communism along with it, little did the world know that the monolithic regime-metal of Rammstein had been growing up behind it, soon to release itself upon the world and remind the free what it's like to have to walk in line. Wagnerian in scope and mood (if not in sound), 2006's ROSENROT finds the East German group offering up more of their uber-dramatic club/industrial chug that's as cold and massive as the hulking battleship that graces its cover. Imagine the ghost of Austrian pop star Falco inhabiting a giant steel robot and going on a city-destroying rampage; that's what's at stake here, and there are more than enough tracks providing the sort of dancefloor totalitarianism that Goths and rivetheads crave. The big surprise on ROSENROT is the half of the album dominated by ballads, quietly creeping along like blackened ivy up a castle wall. The band's signature German-only lyrics are also subverted here with "Te Quiero P***!," adding Mexican horns and bending their lockstep rhythmic assault to a Latin-centric cadence; it's like a soundtrack to a mechanical bullfight, and helps the group diversify their battle plan.
Rammstein: Christoph Doom Schneider, Christian Lorenz, Till Lindemann, Paul Landers, Richard Z. Krupse, Oliver Riedel.

| | Rammstein Herzeleid CD (1996)
Rosenrot CD music
$10.45 
Rammstein's first album was about what was to be expected from a bunch of Germans who happily grew up on everything from Skinny Puppy to Depeche Mode to Laibach and back again, not to mention plenty of skull-crushing metal straight up. Precisely brutal and often brilliantly arranged -- the band aren't per se inventive, but they bring everything together to make something astonishingly radio-friendly out of something that isn't necessarily -- Herzeleid in particular is the logical conclusion of KMFDM's self-referential electro-metal. The band freely invokes its own name throughout the way that group did in its songs -- the final tune is called "Rammstein," to top it all off -- and the riffs readily connect the dots between the older band's clipped guitar bursts and their even more compressed nu-metal equivalents. The swaggering sass and stomp of "Wollt Ihr das Bett in Flammen Sehen" makes for a near-perfect start, and from there the band merrily -- without a smile on its collective face -- has a great, loud-as-hell time. The ...

Where Germany's Rammstein explored a sinister, electronic-oriented sound in their previous work, MUTTER finds the doyens of doom turning more "organic," if no less ominous. In place of techno beats and synthesizers, this album offers crunching electric guitars and pounding drums, offset by operatic backing vocals and orchestral washes. ...

One of the more unlikely success stories in music-business history, German heavy-metal collective Rammstein creates a totally uncompromising and wildly (some would say ridiculously) dramatic sound that combined elements of goth, industrial, Wagnerian opera, and progressive rock, with lyrics sung almost exclusively in German. Rammstein's concerts were even more over-the-top than the ensemble's recorded output, matching the performance art-inspired wackiness of Devo with the gross-out antics of Gwar.
On its fourth album, REISE, REISE, the group continues on its mission to be one of the heaviest, spookiest, and most bizzare acts in rock, delivering one bone crunching, sci-fi/monster-movie-like epic after another. The title track mates effects-laden My Bloody Valentine-style guitars with Dream Theater-like twists and turns, ...
| | Crimson Glory Transcendence CD (1988) Import
Rosenrot music CDs
$16.29
Unjustly qualified as one of the '80s best American-made progressive metal albums, Crimson Glory's Transcendence is actually one of the decade's best pure metal albums by an American band, period. Sure, they shared many sonic traits with fellow '80s metal bands like Queensr˙che and Fates Warning, but Crimson Glory's songwriting was relatively straightforward by comparison, and generally shied away from ultra-complex prog rock arrangements employed by their peers. In fact, barnstormers like "Lady of Winter" and "Red Sharks" are almost ordinary in their no-frills headbanging intensity, and even the band's more "progressive" material, such as the ambitious "Burning Bridges" and the very eclectic "Eternal World," don't venture out that far. Instead, Crimson Glory show commendable restraint in their songwriting, and it is singer Midnight who ends up drawing the most unwanted attention due to his now dated, painfully strident delivery. On the other hand, not even the intervening years have managed to dull the sheen of nuggets like the majestically sparse title track or the impressive "In Dark ...
| | Old-Time Music From Southwest Virginia CD (2001)
Rosenrot songs
$13.39
While many believe that country music started in the summer of 1927 when Ralph Peer recorded the Carter Family, a number of old-time musicians -- including Dock Boggs -- had already had their music committed to wax. Old-Time Music From Southwest Virginia collects instrumentals and songs released between 1924 through 1931, offering a historical snapshot of the fledging genre as it appeared in the Appalachians of Virginia. The oldest material originates from Fiddlin' Powers & Family, representing, as Charles Wolfe points out, the earliest recordings of a professional string band. A little-known guitarist named Emry Arthur sings several of the most intriguing songs on the album, including "She Lied to Me," "Reuben Oh Reuben," and "Careless Love." The guitar work on "Reuben Oh Reuben" has a mysterious, off-center quality of the kind that players like John Fahey would later develop. The most familiar artist on this anthology is banjoist/vocalist Dock Boggs, who delivers "Down South Blues," "Country Blues," "Pretty Polly," "Old Rub Alcohol Blues," and "Danville Girl." While Boggs' selections may be available on other collections, they provide a familiar voice between more obscure musicians. The sound quality varies from cut to cut, which is to be expected on recordings originating from worn 78s. Taking this into consideration, County has done a fine job transferring this material to compact disc. The album, at 76 minutes, is also quite a bargain. For anyone curious about early country music, Old-Time Music From Southwest Virginia offers a rich collection of ...
