The New Lindemann Video Will Give You NSFW Nightmares

The latest from Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann's solo band is not for the faint of heart.

The New Lindemann Video Will Give You NSFW Nightmares

Few artists are known for deftly upsetting tender sensibilities like Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann. But while some may think the singer could go no further than he already does in his main gig, they obviously don't know about the lengths he will take things with his side project Lindemann, in which Till records and performs alongside Hypocrisy head honcho Peter Tägtgren. Case in point, Lindemann have just dropped a new video for the track Knebel, and it's equal parts horrifying, off-putting, and kind of sexy.

The video for Knebel begins the way any Lindemann video might -- with the singer chained to the floor of a half-sunken ruin, wearing a powder-blue suit and black lipstick. However, things get exponentially more menacing by the minute, as Till and Peter are shown leading a naked woman by a collar through a river. The song trots along with acoustic strumming and Till singing in the camera -- and then, everything takes an extreme left turn. Whatever you're expecting, it's crazier than that.

The censored video has been released on YouTube, but Reddit has the uncensored version, which you can watch below. Fair warning, though: those put off by extreme sexual scenarios and harm to animals might not want to press play.

Fucking hell.
