Metal Hammer - Top 10 Killer Songs

At #2 = Rammstein – Mein Teil
Trust the East German, industro-mentalists to be the most up-to-date on the list. Although, not strictly a serial killer, Armin Meiwes, posted a fairly unambiguous request on the internet saying he was looking for a ‘well built man, aged between 18 and 35 to slaughter.’ Amazingly, a 43-year old computer programmer replied to the gruesome personal add* and agreed to the request. Meiwes, gave his victim pain killers before slicing off his genitals and cooking them for the odd couple to share. The killer then finished the willing sacrifice off and ate him over the course of three months. The police admitted later that they wouldn’t have caught the cannibal cook if he hadn’t advertised on the internet for a second victim. The song title is a rather macabre joke, translating as ‘My Tool’ i.e. ‘my Cock’.
