Rammstein Releases Very Unsettling Music Video For “Mein Herz Brennt”
German industrial metal band Rammstein has released a music video for “Mein Herz Brennt” that is incredibly eerie and unsettling. First of all, the song is not the original one that we’re used to hearing from the album Mutter. Rather, it’s a totally stripped down version that is just singer Till Lindemann hauntingly singing over a piano. As for the video, a filthy, dress-wearing Lindemann walks around a decrepit bath room (one that looks very much like the one in the blood bath scene in Hostel 2). He often smiles into the camera, showing disgusting, stained teeth, but the smile is full of sadness, his eyes wet with unshed tears. Check it all out in the video below.
The single is being released as a CD, digital download and 7″ vinyl and includes, besides the “Piano Version” of “Mein Herz brennt”, four B sides, one of them being the previously unreleased track “Gib mir Deine Augen”.
The video will be a part of the Videos 1995-2012 collection, which is coming out Jan. 15th, 2013 in the States. You can find more information on that boxset here.

AMC has announced that The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE, the standing-room-only performance celebrating AMC’s premiere of its newly-released The Vampire Lestat at New York City’s iconic Beacon Theatre last month, will debut on streaming.
The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE begins streaming on AMC+ on August 23.
Ahead of its streaming premiere, fans can preview the concert event, featuring original songs from series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, in Hall H at Comic Con International on July 24.
Our own Daniel Kurland attended the special event, highlighting how electric the Immortal Vampire is on stage: “It’s clear in this season of television that Reid was born to be a rock star, but it’s surreal to see him effortlessly command the stage — and the audience — at every step of the concert. He recites Shakespeare monologues and bitches out Armand between songs, all while the audience screams in support. For the duration of this concert, Reid is Lestat, and he’s given thousands of fans a memory that’s as immortal as any vampire.”
Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, The Vampire Lestat is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.
The Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid. Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.
The series finale airs this Sunday, July 19, on AMC and AMC+.
