The company responsible for the construction of the new Puksas Arena in Budapest has published an official apology after nearby residents’ noise complaints. Apparently somebody left the site at night with Rammstein’s Deutshcland blaring from the site’s speakers on repeat.

“There was an unpleasant noise from Monday to Tuesday which was caused by a technical error, according to the contractor,” said the statement. “Necessary steps have been taken to ensure that such a case does not happen again. We are sure that the world-class arena, which will be ready by mid-November, and the new green land around it will make it up to the residents,” the statement continued. “We apologize to the residents of the surrounding streets for the inconvenience caused.”

Deutschland was the first single of Rammstein new self-titled album. The album is the first single by the German industrial band to make the top 10 list on the Billboard 200 – it reached No. 9. It also reached No. 1 in 14 different countries. The single is accompanied by a high-budget video depicting the dark past of Germany. As is quite usual with Rammstein’s work – it garnered some controversy upon its release. This time, it seems, the band is not to blame.
