English or Deutsch

Previously existing German rock bands, who sang songs predominantly in English, gave way to representatives of a new wave, the so-called doichroka. This style was characterized by short singles in the rhythm of rock'n'roll and blues, performed only in German. The texts were unpretentious, and the compositions were not very complicated. Thus, the German music bands of the 70s did not cause much interest from the public, although there were a certain number of fans among the musicians. It was not always possible to find the right path to success. Much depended on the vocal component, German bands with talented soloists were more attractive to the fans. Guitarists who masterfully mastered the instrument were also appreciated.

Popularity was promoted by musical conjuncture of that time when young generation needed new forms of execution.

Ramstein

One of the most famous rock bands in Germany under the name "Ramstein" was formed in early 1994. Musicians at once made a choice in favor of a style that combines dyu-chark and heavy metal. The stage image of the group consisted in the epatage of the texts and various stage shows.

After the Herzeleid debut album released in the summer of 1994, the producer demanded the recording exclusively in English, as the market demanded it . However, after several attempts, Ramstein managed to record a whole series of German songs that were included in the album Motor Music, which was a great success. In the future, the group adhered to the repertoire, composed of songs in their native language.

In 1995, the first touring tour of Ramstein, organized in support of the album that was released, was held. The audience was impressed by the grandiose pyrotechnic show, which the musicians arranged on stage. Thanks to the colorful fireworks the group in a short time acquired unprecedented popularity. In 1997, almost all singles, recorded by musicians, entered the top-rated musical novelties and took first place in the list.

The next studio album was released only in 2001, and he was called Mutter. In the collection were the most unusual and shocking songs created by the band for the last time. Thanks to this disc and the next round in his support, "Ramstein" significantly increased admirers. Meanwhile, work in the studio continued, and by the decade of the band the first DVD was released, which included all the created clips and live recordings.

The next album, released after three years, was called Liebe ist alle da - "Love exists for everyone". The band toured a lot and performed at festivals. In 2011, "Ramstein" held a foreign tour in New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.

During the existence of the band, 150 million records and discs were sold. On the example of the first released discs (Virgin Killer, Fly To The Rainbow), we can conclude that the musicians immediately found their style - melodic vocals and powerful accompaniment. A particularly successful album called Animal Magnetism, released in 1980, is for many years the visiting card of the band.

After four years of quiet, the band recorded the album Savage Amusement, which was a great success and took first place in European chats. In the US, the disk was on the fifth position.

1989 was the year of the appearance of the weakest album "Scorpions" called Crazy World. On this active creative period of the group ended. A new studio album was recorded only eight years later. It was a double disc called Pure Instinct, which for a long time became an irritant for the US government due to alleged immorality. At that time, German bands preached some looseness on stage during performances, and not everyone liked it.

In the first decade of the 21st century the group "Scorpions" spent a lot of time in Russia. In 2005, the team participated in the celebration of the millennium of Kazan, in 2009 he performed in St. Petersburg. The last album was recorded in 2010 and was called Sting In The Tail.
