RAMMSTEIN Album Banned From Display In Germany

November 9, 2009

Wolfgang Spahrof of Billboard.com reports: The album "Liebe ist Für Alle Da" ("Love is For All") by German hard rock group RAMMSTEIN — currently at No. 2 on Billboard's European Albums Chart — has been banned from public display in German stores with effect from Nov. 11 on account of its depictions of sadism/masochism, which have been deemed to be harmful to children and young people.

Announcing this ruling, Petra Meier, the deputy president of the Federal Office for the Examination of Media Harmful to Young People, cited the track "Ich tue Dir Weh" ("I Want to Hurt You") as well as the artwork showing guitarist Richard Kruspe with a masked, naked woman on his knees.
