Stille
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stille is the fifth studio album by German duo Lacrimosa. It features a mix of classical instruments and Gothic metal.
[edit] Concept
As a concept, Stille connects to the previous release Inferno which is reflected in several tracks. The first track "Der erste Tag [The first Day]" features the recovery from a burning inferno while the last track reviews the principle of hope throughout the history of mankind. "Stolzes Herz" has been called "an ode to hope".[1]

The album stayed in the German charts for six weeks, peaking at position 64[3] with the single "Stolzes Herz" being Lacrimosa's first song to enter the German single charts.[4] A restrospective review in 2002 by the German Powermetal magazine praised Stille for its powerful lyrics and true emotions.[1] In contrast, the Visions magazine marked a lack of variation in Tilo Wolff's singing and wrote that the expectations that had been raised by the pre-release single "Stolzes Herz" had not been fulfilled by the full album.
