10 Best Rock Music Videos Of The 2020s So Far
2. Adieu - Rammstein
Oooh, a new Rammstein video. Let's see what this is about.
Oh, a giant beam of red light is shooting up into the sky from what looks like an old parliament building.
Sounds great!
The German gods of setting yourself on fire set the tone immediately for their 2022 video for Adieu. It doesn't take long for things to go even more mental, as within 90 seconds one of the band is shooting up a bunch of armed guards with a minigun.
Never change, Rammstein, never change.
The action continues for another few minutes, before the video totally switches gears. We are transported to an underground cavern, where the members of the band are chained up, covered in mud, and trapped in a giant cage.
Once again, please never stop doing what you're doing, lads.
As with most Rammstein videos, the actual "story" isn't super clear. Adieu is clearly meant to get you thinking and, through its outstanding combination of striking visuals and top notch special effects, it definitely achieves its mission.
Also, did we mention the minigun? How many other music videos have one of those in them?
