Fronted by the deep voiced and largely built Till Lindemann (lead vocals) and supported by Richard Z. Kruspe (guitar and backing vocals), Paul H. Landers (guiter, backing vocals), Oliver "Ollie" Riedel (bass guitar), Christoph "Doom" Schneider (drums and electronic percussion) and Christian "Flake" Lorenz (keyboards). They hail from Germany, and sing mostly in German, although you will sometimes hear the odd tune in other languages, and every so often, something in English.
Interesting quick facts about this band:
Lindemann has a powerful on-stage presence and a resonant bass voice. One of his signature mannerisms is to partially squat and pound his fist onto his thigh to the beat of the riff; this move is known to Rammstein fans as the "Till-Hammer". His vocals are easily recognizable due to his tendency to roll (all) his Rs, and growl his aitchs.
Lindemann is also a qualified pyrotechnician; after an accident at the Treptow arena in Berlin on 27 September 1996, where a burning stage prop fell into the audience, Rammstein began employing a professional pyrotechnical crew and Lindemann has learned from and also trained with them. Of Lindemann, band mate Christoph Schneider says, "Till gets burned all the time, but he likes the pain".

My favourite Music videos, in no particular order:

Signature song from the soundtrack of the movie 'Triple X' starring Vin Diesel. Most DVD copies of the film should contain the full concert clip as a feature. Unfortunately it is difficult trying to find a clearer clip anywhere on youtube.
