Neue Deutsche Härte act Stahlmann releases its last single “Asche zu Asche” before dropping the new album “Phosphor”, out on August 09th. The band uses German lyrics and bring a mix of alternative metal, industrial, new wave, and techno.

“Phosphor” is available on jewelcase CD and comes with a brand new Phosphor t-shirt design. The exclusive, strictly limited fan box contains the CD, a Stahlmann patch and sticker, a key chain, a handwritten, numbered certificate, and a high-quality lighter with a Stahlmann design.

Stahlmann, translating to “Steel Man,” is a German band formed in 2008 in Göttingen. Founders Martin Soer and Alexander Scharfe met in the same year and began writing songs, later joined by Tobi Berkefeld. Their debut EP, “Herzschlag”, was released in 2009.

Over the years, Stahlmann has seen several line-up changes. Original member Alexander Scharfe left the band for personal reasons but occasionally performs live. Other past members include Oliver “O-Lee” Schmidt, Dirk “Fire-Abend” Feierabend, and Ablaz. Current members include Martin “Mart” Soer on vocals and programming, Mario “Stahlmann” Sobotka on guitar, Dimitrios “Tacki” Gatsios on drums, and Eugen on bass​.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
