From Hard Rock Magazine - translation

In the distant year of 2007, a group of shady characters gathered in a parking lot in Rozzano, on the outskirts of Milan, with an explosive idea. Three of them (Teo, Chicco, and Marco) still lead the lineup of Eisernmann, one of the most "spectacular" Italian tributes to the German band Rammstein.

Since 2011, the stable lineup has honed the edge of their sound through solid collaboration, fueled by a fraternal pact born from a pure love for music. "It's important to note," says frontman Teo, "that our project doesn't stem from idolatry! We are indeed fanatics, but of good rock in general. Each of us grew up with our own musical backgrounds, in diverse and unexpected worlds. The primal scream that resonates in Rammstein's core is the most effective means we have to unleash the most animalistic side of our personalities.

"To 'Scapocciare,' as I often address our audience, meaning to hammer away in four-four time to break everything, ourselves included – that's the essence of a tribute like ours. It's not an easy task to measure up to Rammstein, one of the fundamental bands of modern metal, with a show that, even when presented by Eisernmann in a 'club' setting as per the fans' expectations, still raises the bar.

"In the German language—'We are a tribute, not puppets! Our ambition is to recreate a Rammstein-like show without replicating equipment worth tens of thousands of euros that would only result in faded copies of the originals. The same goes for stage costumes and body types: Chicco, our keyboardist, is a giant at six feet three inches and nearly two hundred pounds, playing a keytar, a shoulder-mounted keyboard. As far from Flake as possible, yet it works! I'm not exactly a lightweight, but at six feet and two hundred pounds, I still fall short of the giant that is Lindemann! He, blond and in a pink fur coat, is genuinely intimidating. I would be more of a source of laughter. I try to focus on physicality and movements but interpret without mimicking.

"Tribute, for us, is not an end but a means to make noise together with those who follow us. The sound impact is there, professionalism and high energy too, and they represent our shared purpose with the original. To explode but with freedom, exploiting a brand that somehow belongs to us, all for the sole purpose of having fun and entertaining ourselves. We're not 'crazy,' and that's the first impulse: Rammstein is an inspiration for us, playmates! Like them, we are carbon-based organisms mad about metal... And what's more metal than German?"

The choice of repertoire also knows no bounds. "If it makes heads bob, it's a green light for us. If the earth shakes when you hit play, then it's the right piece! Musical performance is never a triviality for us: during periods of live inactivity, we lock ourselves in the rehearsal room to prepare new songs." The best compliment? "No excuses: no one should leave the venue saying that EisernMann is boring or didn't give their all. It's our responsibility. Seeing kids asking for autographs after the concert as if it's the most important thing in the world or recognizing the faces of those who follow us everywhere is priceless. A longtime fan, Jennifer, drew a beautiful portrait of us, Michela even got our name tattooed... crazy! And then there are people you don't know, and maybe after a grueling work shift, they say, 'thank you, I needed that.' We do too, trust us." (...)
