Rammstein

/ˈrɑːmʃtaɪn/ noun

Definition

German industrial metal band formed in 1994

Etymology

Named after the Ramstein air show disaster of 1988, with intentional double 'm' spelling

Kelly Says

Rammstein deliberately added an extra 'm' to distance themselves from the tragic air show disaster while still referencing it. Their name literally means 'ramming stone' in German, fitting their heavy sound perfectly.
