Rammmstein has recently launched its fifth and absolutely brilliant album called Rosenrot". They couldn't have thought of a better title for their new album, cause this name evokes brightest images associated with magnanimous verses of Goethe and sparkling fairy-stories of Grimm.
The texts of songs sound paradoxical but stylish, as they are full of touching rhymes, exciting metaphors, unimaginable allegories and dubious allusions. The images of the album are almost endless. Non-conventional stories about people widen the borders of emotional abyss, display the absurd of the everyday life and unveil the thoroughly hidden thoughts and feelings. The lyric character of Mann gegen Mann" ( The man against the man"), the gay, explicitly talks about his physical desires for which is being cursed by his family. The characters of Feuer und Wasser" ( Fire and Water") talk about their untamed passion and everlasting need for each other. Zerstoren" ( The Destruction") displays all the devastating power of primitive instincts while Spring" accuses modern patterns of life which cause misunderstandings and grief.
Music adds much to the value of the verse. High guitar riffs and flowing keyboard cascades cast an impression of mystery; and the living rhythm seems animated. The slow bit emphasizes romance and sensuality of melancholic Wo bist du?" ( Where are You?"). The combination of roaring inferno and refined emotions makes the album truly unrivaled. In some words, the work can be described as blood, wounds and tears, emotional strain and light-heartedness.
