The band's lineup—consisting of lead vocalist Till Lindemann, lead guitarist Richard Kruspe, rhythm guitarist Paul Landers, bassist Oliver Riedel, drummer Christoph Schneider, and keyboardist Christian "Flake" Lorenz—has remained unchanged throughout their history, along with their approach to songwriting, which consists of Lindemann writing and singing the lyrics over instrumental pieces the rest of the band has completed beforehand.

Mutter (song)
"Mutter" (German for "mother") is a power ballad by German Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein, released as the fourth single from the album of the same name.

They quickly remove their masks and head for the front desk.

Links 2 3 4
"Links 2 3 4" (also spelled "Links 2-3-4"; English: "Left 2 3 4") is a song by German Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein. It was released as the second single from their third studio album, '' Mutter'', on 14 May 2001. It is a politically charged song, taking aim at early allegations of Nazism against the band by revealing that they are politically left-wing. The song was a top 40 hit in Germany, Austria, and Finland. Composition ''Links, zwo, drei, vier'' (“Left, two, three, four”) is the usual cadence that German-speaking drill instructors use to keep a marching formation in step, “left” referring to the left foot touching the ground. The form ''zwo'' for “two” (instead of normal ''zwei'') is an old variant that is now used in military and telephone contexts in order to avoid confusion with ''drei'' (“three”). The title accordingly represents a militaristic theme. Moreover it is an allusion to the revolutionary song '' Einheitsfrontlied'', written by Bert ...
