Rammstein know all about taking things to the limit. The limit, after all, is where they thrive, including hypersexualized lyrics, lampooning their German-ness and constant provocations in their song lyrics, poems and videos. To promote the song "Germany," they released a video excerpt in advance in 2019 showing the band dressed as concentration camp inmates, with stars on their chests, at the gallows. The Central Council of Jews in Germany blasted the video, saying the group had “exploited” the Holocaust for marketing purposes. To date, the video has attracted 317 million views. That’s how it works.
