Name
Is inspired by the German city Ramstein, in whose air base there was an accident in 1988 during a show. In the name the "m" is repeated, so that it includes the root of the verb "rammen" 'to collide' next to the noun "Stein" 'stone'; an approximate translation of "Rammstein" would therefore be "shock stone". -
