Scammstein

'Scammstein' refers to an infinite collection of bands from an infinite number of different universes from across the multiverse - their commonality is that they are all variants of Rammstein. Most Scammsteins are different in some way - some more than others. Some Scammsteins are identical to Rammstein in our universe - some are incomparably different.

Scammstein became known to humanity in our universe by Emanuel Fialik, who left detailed notes about its different victims from across the multiverse. It is solely because of these newly discovered notes that it has been learned that Emanuel Fialik can travel between universes at will.

To date, up to 3,516 different Scammsteins are known, including the original Scammstein, Wammstein, Shazammstein, Hammstein, Epstein, Weinstein, Einstein, Stein, and Ein.

Scammstein No.1
The single most well known Scammstein is the eponymous 'Scammstein' - the band from which this category of bands gets its name (as it was the first to be discovered). Scammstein (Scammstein MV-Delta 51) were a Berlin-based Rammstein clone. The lineup consisted of Tit Lindam (vocals), Rinchard Krospe (lead guitar), Paulo Lenders (rhythm guitar), Olive Needle (bass), Christoph Lorenz (keyboard) and Christian Snider (drums).

In MV-Delta 51, Scammstein's home universe, Scammstein were insanely hideous, ugly men. This lead to nobody liking their live shows. They stopped playing live, and spent all of their time playing in the studio to make records. They released their 6-track demo tape in September of 1994, with the 'help' of Emanuel Fialik.



The name 'Scammstein' allegedly comes from the fact that the band took to scamming live audiences of other bands due to their hatred of the public after being made fun of for their deformed appearances. They would stand outside of venues for Pankow, Farmer Boys, Russ & The Velvets, and other bands in the area at the time, and would force guests to give them extra funds, stating that their tickets were invalid, and that they needed to pay for new ones.

Emanuel Fialik later propelled Scammstein in to success - they released Scherzeleid in 1995, Set in sucht in 1997, Nutter in 2001, Rise, Rise in 2004, and Rose & Rot in 2007 before Emanuel Fialik was able to consume the entire universe of MV-Delta 51, signalling the end of Scammstein.

Other Scammsteins
Every other Scammstein that has been discovered from Fialik's notes was already consumed and destroyed by Fialik. Some press pictures from other Scammsteins were found in DIA slide format, amongst Fialik's diary entries. Some of these pictures are presented below:
