Gearing up for the December 13th release of their greatest hits retrospective titled
Made in Germany 1995-2011,
Neue Deutsche Härte darlings
Rammstein have channeled their inner
Hasselhoff and outdone themselves again with the kooky, retro beach party themed video for
"Mein Land" (directed by renowned videomeister
Jonas Åkerlund - creator of Rammstein's most pornographic, er, controversial music video
"Pussy" as well as the greasy, all-nude male revue that is the
"Mann Gegen Mann" body slam and the award-winning
"Ich tu dir Weh"). The single, with the exception of the b-side "Vergiss Uns Nicht," is the only previously unreleased song slated for inclusion among the collection of heavy hits celebrating the body of work of a band that has seen zero changes in their line-up since 1994 and continues to flaunt an outlandish style what combines
boundary-pushing tomfoolery with impressive
pyrotechnic stage antics much to the delight of their fan-base though said accolades often cause a rift among critics who more often than not seem perfectly pleased to acquiesce to confoundation and mild annoyance. But then everybody loves a beach party,
ja? It's difficult to imagine anyone laughing at Rammstein more than they are laughing themselves, spray-tanned tits out and all. Check it below:
