(PR) As Rammstein prepare for the release of their first studio album in four years, Liebe Ist Für Alle Da (Oct. 20, Universal Music Germany), the band is unveiling a video for the single "Pussy" that will likely be banned by video sharing services and simultaneously be one of the most viewed music videos of the year.Directed by Jonas Åkerlund, the video (available via Rammstein.com) will premiere on Sept. 16 at 4 pm eastern/1 pm pacific (with ongoing availability thereafter). Teases from the video have been splashing across German TV in the overnight hours with websites posting the grainy images worldwide. Åkerlund has an impressive resume including directing the feature film "Spun" and videos for Madonna (five videos including Grammy winning video "Ray Of Light" and "Celebration"), U2 ("Beautiful Day"), Metallica ("Whiskey In The Jar," "Turn The Page") and Lady Gaga ("Paparazzi").
"Pussy" will be released as Liebe Ist Für Alle Da's first single exclusively in the U.S. via iTunes on Sept. 22 with album track "Rammlied."
