German Neue Deutsche Härte hard rock band from Berlin Rammstein released their official music video for “Deutschland”
The hard rock group has provoked outrage with a video featuring the band dressed up as Nazi concentration camp prisoners. The nine-minute-long film for the single Deutschland includes scenes of the band with nooses around their necks.
Critics accused Rammstein of a cynical publicity stunt playing with Nazi-era imagery to generate media hype.
In the video, the band assumes different roles during eras of German history.
At least one band member appears to be wearing a yellow Star of David of the type Jews were forced to wear by the Nazis. The video then shows the prisoners shooting people who appear to be SS guards in the face.
The track will be included in the seventh studio album of the band, which will be released on May 17th.
