This report was made in 2021/22 before allegations of sexual misconduct were levelled against Till Lindeman. Numerous women have described a system of grooming of young female fans for sex with the singer.
In the meantime German prosecutors have closed a sexual assault investigation into Till Lindemann citing a lack of evidence.

This video does not address these accusations. It deals mainly with accusations of bad taste, extreme-right wing ideology and flirting with fascist iconography.
@RammsteinOfficial is Germany's biggest rock export, tough, loud and provocative. We take a closer look at the legendary band that formed in 1994 around @TillLindemann_official and gets to grips with its shock rock aesthetics and lyrics. On this episode of Arts Unveiled we find out the secret to the stellar international success of German shock rockers Rammstein.
