Mutter

Those scary Teutonic metal men are back, so run for the hills, or to the record store, whichever your instinct. Although missing the cheesy visual excitement of their live show — with its over-the-top pyrotechnics and giant, water-spurting phalluses — Mutter is sternly self-parodic, headbanging horror rock at its finest; its opener, ''Mein Herz Brent,'' is possibly the best ''Kashmir'' rip ever. Sprechen sie Rammstein? You betcha.
