Rammstein's new album 'Liebe Ist Für Alle Da' has been deemed as “harmful” to young people and can no longer appear on public display in some shops in Germany.

Citing Section 18 of the Youth Protection Act, The Office for the Examination of Media Harmful in the band's native country put the ruling into effect from tomorrow (November 11).

The officials believe that the record's artwork – which features the band members taking a saw to a female on a mortuary slab – song-titles and lyrics are not suitable for anyone below the age of 18, reports The Guardian.

On top of this, Rammstein will not be allowed to perform one song 'Ich Tu Dir Weh' ('I Want to Hurt You') live in Germany.

'Liebe Ist Für Alle Da' featured in Gigwise's countdown of the 40 Most Controversial Album Covers of the 2000s. See where it finished below:

  • Let's not forget that we all have a choice as to whether or not we wish to allow ourselves to become offended by any of this stuff. "A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense" (Proverbs 18:11). Think about it...

  • This is just typical of Rammstein, pushing the boundaries and we love it! Music has become too safe lately. We need characters like Rammstein out there.
