The industrial metal icons, who released their new album ‘Untitled‘ earlier this month, took to the stage for the first of two gigs in Gelsenkirchen, Germany yesterday evening (May 27).
Performing at the city’s VELTINS-Arena, the group aired a total of nine new tracks during the fire-filled spectacle. Among them were the likes of ‘Ausländer’, ‘Puppe’, ‘Radio’, and ‘Sex’. Elsewhere, Rammstein offered up two versions of their recent single ‘Deutschland’.
During ‘Puppe’, a giant baby’s pram was wheeled onstage, before flames shot out in front of the sinister infant. Check out that clip and more from the show below.

In other news, Rammstein were condemned for using apparent Holocaust imagery in a teaser video released back in March.
While there was no direct reference to the Holocaust in the clip, one Jewish leader called it “irresponsible.”
