Mention rock and reggae in the same breath and people will immediately think of Geordie environmentalist Sting squawking about having a stroll on the moon. Or worse still, there’s that clip of Axl Rose spinning around in his underpants demanding reggae from his bandmates.

What we want to know is, is this musical blasphemy or utter genius? We love it.
This is what Rammstein would sound like if they were a bossa nova band
