Well do you know any foreign songs that rock? The actual reason why I made this topic is so I can share these songs:
Soldaatvolk by Foto Na Dans: Spoiler:

The music video might be a bit wild, but if you know what the lyrics mean you'll know that the song is actually a protest against what they're doing on the video by portraying the wrongs of a modern society.
Lisa Se Klavier by The Parlotones Spoiler:

Just skip to 0:41. There is some commentary throughout the song but I couldn't find a better version. A South African classic remade by South Africa's favourite band.
These are both Afrikaans songs although The Parlotones are an English band so they sing in a strange accent. So who has some cool foreign language songs they want to share?
OMF Volke What I meant was not English, like foreign to the western civilization. The songs I posted was from my own country, not foreign to me, but it's foreign to the English speaking people of SC. Get it now? I'd be uber happy if you posted a Welsh band.
BTW I checked and English and Welsh is Wales' main languages, so those aren't even foreign to you.
There are going to be a lot of SC members whose first language isn't English. I would change the title to "Non-English language songs that rock!" (Oh, and implying the whole of the western hemisphere speaks English is just silly)
For non-English speaking bands, for those who want to hear something completely different from any other genre, there's Magma. They use their own language invented by the bands leader and drummer, Christian Vander. Though this is far from the only thing that make them unique. Their sound, branded "Zeuhl", is a very spiritual sounding mixture of jazz, choral, classical and prog rock
Another one I've been loving is the folk metal band Moonsorrow from Finland
Oh, and I am a huge Orphaned Land fan. Nice choice
But English is a foreign language to a large portion of western civilisation. English practically is Wales' main language, and only 25 percent of Welsh people can actually speak Welsh fluently (and I'm in the majority who can't).
Welsh bands? There are only four Welsh bands that I actually know of - Manic Street Preachers, Stereophonics, Lostprophets and The Blackout, none of which I recommend (the first two are boring, the second two are crappy screamo clones), and none of them sing in Welsh anyway.
Since you kindly edited the thread title, I may as well post a foreign language song. Here, try some Korpiklaani:

Not all of their songs are in Finnish, but that one is. Another one you can try is Finntroll.
Ha thanks rep :D. I have only listened to 2 of there albums they are pretty awesome. I was also pretty shocked to find that Steven Wilson produced one of them.
^ That guy is GOD

Yeah, Rammstein's probably the only one I know. Though the other song I know is Manu Chao by Les Wampas (French).
"The Ferrari-designed engine springs to life with a praiseworthy, deep rich voice that sends chills to the sensory portion of the brain. The message is loud and clear: this is gonna be great." -TheAutoChannel on the GranTurismo S
I definitely have to post the industrial band Acylum. Like most other industrial bands, they are from Germany but the difference is, they actually sing in German unlike a lot of other foreign bands I listen to.
Then there's Stahlnebel & Black Selket from Germany, with a dark/hard-hitting semi-rave song.
