About Us
The team behind Rammstein Colombia and LIFAD Colombia.
This isn't a fan page or a news site. It's the story of a community that has followed Rammstein from Colombia for more than twenty years, and of the people who keep it going.
Since 2004
What is LIFAD Colombia?
We started in mid-2004 as a fan community meeting on MSN, MSN Groups and forums to talk about the German band's sound. Between 2005 and 2006 we built our own identity: the logo that fuses the Rammstein R with a C, the German machine and Colombia in a single symbol. By 2007-2008 we were already calling ourselves the country's unofficial Rammstein club — the only one, and the biggest — with people from genres as different as popular rock and the deepest underground metal, organizing gatherings and showing up live for bands influenced by them. The club went quiet for a bit in 2009 and came back to life with the release of «Liebe ist für alle da». Over time we also became LIFAD Colombia, a fan club listed in Rammstein GbR's official directory (the band's legal entity; Universal Music appears associated as its label). Since 2016 we've organized the Treffen, our yearly themed party, and we document every event, story and gathering from the community in this archive.

Philosophy
Our philosophy
We don't chase fame, the spotlight, or ways to monetize the community. Everything we do is out of passion and volunteer work. Over the years we built relationships of trust with fans, media, promoters, record labels and organizers — none of that happens without years of steady work and without asking for anything in return.
One note: this community is built with years of work, not a logo — and there's only one official Rammstein club per country (see the FAQ). If you come across a call to action or a logo similar to ours that you don't recognize, always verify it through our official channels before taking part.
Mission
Our mission
To preserve the community's memory. Every story, photo, trip, concert and anecdote is part of that journey, and this archive exists so it isn't lost.
- All content is original, written by real people and based on real experiences.
- We're not another news site: we document what it means to live Rammstein from Colombia.
- What we publish has to still be useful ten years from now.

The message
In a country of more than 50 million people, the band has visited us only once. For more than twenty years the community never stopped growing, supporting, organizing or waiting.
Here we still are. Still waiting. The infrastructure, the community, the experience — it all already exists.
