This is a Statement by the Ambassador of the Republic of Belarus Andrei Giro to the media reports about the planned Rammstein Appearance in Minsk:

The concert will be held in Minsk Rammstein – as originally planned – on March 7, 2010.

With a great surprise I had to read the German media reports claiming that the Rammstein Appearance in Minsk can be cancelled. It was only an opinion of a person from the advisory Board – Commission for morality.

In a democratic society, including the Republic of Belarus is, it is common to discuss issues and problems publicly. The Belarusian writer Nikolai Tscherginez has expressed his own opinion and personal expression, not necessarily supported by all Rammstein fans. It is in this context, very unfortunate that instead of a debate about the phenomenon of Rammstein most of the media in Germany took this issue as an opportunity to present Belarus in a negative way.

All the speculation about the alleged prohibition of the performance are hereby expressly rejected. Thousands of spectators from all over Belarus are looking forward to the Rammstein concert on March 7.

From the side of the embassy, I can add that all the artists and the technical team have successfully applied and received their visas. According to the organizers, the Minsk-Arena, is almost sold out.

Rammstein released their explosive video for the track ‘Ich Tu Dir Weh’ a little while ago and Metal Hammer are delighted to bring you this exclusive video taking you behind the scenes of the making of the clip!

The German “Brachialrock” band Rammstein would destroy “the Belarusian state policy,” ruled the moral guardian of the ex-Soviet republic.

Supported by President Alexander Lukashenko, Social Council for morality declared the band abruptly a public enemy. This is in regard to a March 7th concert planned to take place in Minsk. The Rammstein songs were propaganda for “violence, masochism, homosexuality and other perverse,” directed against Belarusian values.

“A permit for a Rammstein concert is a mistake that could cost us a lot,” was said.

This info is relevant for those of you willing to buy some stuff related to Rammstein:

Unfortunately the band will not be able to sell Rammstein Merchandising Articles inside the venues in Stockholm and Helsinki. The Rammstein truck, however, will be just outside the arenas with a huge number of merchandising goods. So keep an eye out! (or go to our shop and buy it online from Amazon)

Guitarist Richard Kruspe of German industrial metallers RAMMSTEIN recently sat down for an exclusive video interview with MySpace (strong German accent, but who cares?). The six-minute video, which can be viewed below, is interspersed with clips from the band’s latest videos, behind-the-scenes shots, and remarkable footage from the band’s first of four sold-out Berlin shows in late December in front of over 17,000 fans at the famed Velodrom.

• Shock and awe rules ok for Rammstein

In a virtually sold out Manchester Arena (that’s nearly 20,000 people) Rammstein are in pulverising form, the crowd are going crazy, the atmosphere is electric and the firebombs launching from the stage are like World War Three on apocalypse LSD.

“Ich Tu Dir Weh” will be released in the U.S, exclusively through iTunes, on February 9th. It contains the original mix of the song from the band’s sixth LP, Liebe Ist Für Alle Da. Also included on the single are two remixes of the title track and a pair of other rehashes from the album. A digital artwork booklet will accompany the release.

Another guy talking, this time about the track Pussy and how the lyric is stupid (but catchy anyway?)

Rammstein and the freedom of speech in Germany…
