Stahlmann I discovered funnily enough through an advert for this album and me being me and liking to discover new bands whether good or bad thought id check them out out of curiosity. Founded in 2008, entered 2009 with the debut EP 'heartbeat' in the top 20 of theGerman Alternative Charts, where it sat for an impressive four weeks. Their début album, the Göttinger exactly tie where they left off with 'Heartbeat': No Mercyhard industrial with metal and gothic influences, melodic singing, which describes thedark paths of life and a steel guitar wall.
One thing that struck me about Stahlmann is that there quite similar to Rammstein. Perhaps minus the bizzare and sometimes disturbing lyrics though or at least not as much anyway...And if Rammstein had a bit more synths. Most of the tracks on this album are quite short and the album is only 9 tracks long as well. However most of the songs are catchy and its not a bad album.my favourite track on it is Kokain. Not far behind is Teufel with is varying dynamics.
Its an album you have to hear for yourself really. Its not the best album out there but its not bad its worth a listen. It is very Rammstein esque which is kind of off putting but as Rammstein have proven this kind of sound works.for me though the similarity is too much but im glad I listened to it.
