Watch Behind The Scenes Film About The Making Of Rammstein’s ‘Ausländer’ Video
Speaking about the much-acclaimed track, director Joern Heitman said: “It’s Eurotrash meets metal.”
Rammstein have released a making-of video showing how their promo for ‘Ausländer’ was created, which you can watch below.
The single was released in May this year, shortly after the band’s untitled seventh studio album launched through Spinefarm Records.
Speaking about the track, director Joern Heitman says: “It’s Eurotrash meets metal. I think that’s something we only previously saw in Pussy. In my opinion, that’s what made the song so incredibly special and a great summer hit.
“But the song’s lyrics are also very controversial – very sharp and edgy, leaving lots of room for me to exercise my creativity and come up with something really off the hook.
“The song ‘Ausländer’ inspired me to put Rammstein in an inflatable rubber boat wearing life-jackets and rowing across the sea for the video, because that’s something you definitely don’t normally do.
“But that’s exactly why I wanted to do it – because that’s who Rammstein are for me. You confront society with its own images.”
The German stars will tour across Europe from May next year in support of Rammstein, which is the follow-up to 2009’s Liebe ist für alle da.
