Stahlmann is a German band that formed in 2008 in G?ttingen, Germany. It is in the genre of Neue Deutsche H?rte.

Martin Soer, the vocalist of the band, met Alexander Scharfe, the guitarist, and both soon realized that they like the same kind of music, Neue Deutsche H?rte. Later that year, they started the band, Stahlmann, and started writing their own songs.

They soon met Tobias Berkefeld, who also owned a guitar. After having the members in the band, they decide to do a live performance. For concerts, they invite a third guitarist and drummer.

At this time, the group had no name. The idea arose while eating at a barbecue. "Actually, we were sitting in front of Alex and barbecuing and I was just thinking, 'OK, the name should somehow represent us,' and then it came by itself." says lead singer, Martin.

Thus the concept for their band was formed. Before concerts, all three members would paint themselves silver paint, wear black suits, and use heavy lighting.

In 2009, their debut EP, Herzschlag, got to the top twenty in German alternative charts and settled there for four weeks. Thanks to this, another group noticed noticed and invited them to tour with bands such as Doro, In Extremo, and Saltatio Mortis. They also worked in G?ttingen in concerts, opening for Eisbrecher, and that is where they found their audience.

In 2010, Stahlmann went on tour. This tour was organized by the magazine, Zillo.
