Eisenherz (2002)

Yes, the name of the album is loud and hard enough, but Stahlhammer's music has been changed. Earlier it was heavy, dark, almost funeral gothic metal, which even was called by many as "Rammstein-like industrial" (of course, that wasn't industrial at all). But now their music is far from gothic, and it isn't metal either. Stahlhammer became softer. Of course, some sinister atmosphere still presents, but their bent for experiments with sound and style mixture has knocked out the spirit of gothic metal from their music. It's really similar to industrial now. Generally, it's hard to define "Eisenherz" as commercial album. It seems that it has been created for Stahlhammer themselves, just for collection. Unfortunately, it's just another one unlucky experiment. I wouldn't recommend you to listen to this album more than one time. A thoughtless album.
