Not Power Metal, but I thought I’ll take my chances.

Any recommendations for someone who loves Rammstein, despite only knowing 2-3 words in German?

I haven’t found many while searching for industrial metal.

Oomph! is generally the first thing people recommend. It's been a very long time since I listed to this type of music and I don't know what they've been up to recently ("recently" meaning "last 20 years"), but the Sperm and Defekt albums from the 90s are pretty good.

I also really liked Pitchshifter at the time, especially the first few albums (later they switched styles a bit, starting with the pitchshifter.com, which is also pretty good). It's a bit different from Rammstein from what I recall, but can't hurt to try.

static-x, especially the older stuff.

Second the recommendation for Static-X, though there ain't any new stuff, RIP Wayne.

Unfortunately Industrial ain't my wheelhouse, so I can't say much beyond that.
