most of Rammstein, but specifically Mutter

For me it was Mein Teil. I'm used to most of Rammstein's dark stuff, but man, this one is deeply disturbing.

Lyrics for those who are curious and not squeamish

In case people were unaware, this references a real event where a man posted an ad for a man willing to be killed and eaten.

Here's another song that explicitly references it. Better song too, IMO.

I just listen to the Left Podcast on the Left episode about him.

at least it was consensual, not like Wiener Blut or Ich tue dir weh
