Herzeleid in 1998 and a dream in Berlin

My passion for Rammstein began in 1998, with Herzeleid. That raw early sound captured me at once, and from then on I followed their evolution into titans of industrial metal: every record, every video, every concert.

I felt their live energy first-hand at the Sopó concert, and it marked me. I haven’t travelled abroad to see them, though I long to: I dream of witnessing the show in Berlin, the cradle of this fire.

I don’t have an extensive collection. I treasure a few mementos from that night and, yes, I bought a couple of the concert films — including the Paris concert broadcast.
