The motto he's carried since 2013

I’m 27 and I’m an artist. I started following the band in 2011, looking for music with real instruments, though I came from hardcore and thrash metal — Megadeth above all — and dismissed the trends of the time. Rammstein didn’t grab me at first.

It all changed when I met Jhon Jario, a friend whose favourite band they were. We studied music together, deconstructing their songs, and that opened a thread towards other genres: I understood they had spent years experimenting with electronics and with pop before it was common, not to belittle it but to satirise it, and that this is where that characteristic sound they call industrial metal comes from.

In 2013 he invited me to a gathering at Parque Simón Bolívar with the LIFAD Colombia community. He was already deep into it and that day he felt like a kid. I took a phrase away with me that has been on my Facebook profile ever since, and that I use as a motto: LIEBE IST FÜR ALLE DA, love is there for everyone.

They’ve only come to Colombia once and I didn’t manage to go, but I’d go no matter what when they return: it’s less a concert than a pyrotechnics event. When I see them live, I’m getting the tattoo.
