This will be an interesting move to watch, A major band signed to a major label, releasing a song and video that will most likely be banned by stations and video television stations. Will a cult following be enough to pay the cost?
Los Angeles, CA– As Rammstein prepare for the release of their first studio album in four years, LIEBE IST FÜR ALLE DA (Oct. 20, Universal Music Germany), the band is unveiling a video for the single “Pussy” that will likely be banned by video sharing services and simultaneously be one of the most viewed music videos of the year.
Directed by Jonas Åkerlund, the video (available via www.Rammstein.com) will premiere on Sept. 16 at 4 pm eastern/1 pm pacific (with ongoing availability thereafter). Teases from the video have been splashing across German TV in the overnight hours with websites posting the grainy images worldwide. Åkerlund has an impressive resume including directing the feature film “Spun” and videos for Madonna (five videos including Grammy winning video “Ray Of Light” and “Celebration”), U2 (“Beautiful Day”), Metallica (“Whiskey In The Jar,” “Turn The Page”) and Lady Gaga (“Paparazzi”).
