Who's the band who performed "Otherworld" (that metal-sounding song during the opening blitzball game) on Final Fantasy X?
RAMMSTEIN
It's not Rammstein. That's just a rumor.
Composer: Nobuo Uematsu
Lyricist: Alexander O. Smith
Singer: Bill "xtillidiex" Muir
And a horrible rumor at that. o_o It sounds nothing like Rammstein.Quote:

Uematsu did an interview about the singer on the OST version and basically said it was some guy he met and thought would be a good voice for the song. After they recorded it and everything he hasn't even heard from the guy since.
I beleive that's correct, necro...
And Shoden, Rammstein is a german heavy metal band that sings in, well... german. They're becoming very popular over here in America. You may have heard a couple of their songs, most likely Mein Teil, Amerika, or Links 1-2-3...
You would probably recognize them if you heard them.
It can NOT be Rammstein singing otherworld, it sounds nothing LIKE Rammstein!
Anything 'metal' that people dont know the artist of, they'll attach random well known bands, like Rammstein or System of a Down. Like that Zelda rock remix, if you look for it on any peer to peer, it says it's performed by SoaD, which is bull.
Umm Necro said, it was some random guy that sang the song.
It cant be Rammstein cause its in english !! I have the song in my windows media player and its actually got pretty gd lyrics !
However it does sound remotely like rammstein....
the voice n e way!
They've done the occasional song in English, such as Stripped from their album 'Sehnsucht'.Quote:

It's not really any particular band, just a bunch of studio musicians. An interesting fact though, the lyricist, Alexander O. Smith, is the guy who says "Maybe Im a Lion" on the Black Mages II version.
And he says it very nicely, I think.
He's also been one of the main translators of the games, ever since FFVII.Quote:
