Following Herzschlag Stahlmann performed with well-known artists such as Doro, In Extremo and Saltatio Mortis.

Lineup changes ''Quecksilber'' and ''Adamant'' (2011-2013)

For personal reasons Alex left the band, but he still occasionally performs with the group in concert. In late 2011, the group added a new bassist, Ablation. Also performing in live performances were guitarists Sid Armageddon, Mueller Mathis, Nicklas Kaalam, and Dimitrios Gatsios.
Despite their busy concert schedule, Stahlmann in 2011 released the two singles, "Tanzmaschine" and "Stalwittchen". The second album Quecksilber was released on January 20, 2012. "We had eight weeks to master the sound we wanted in one of the best studios of the country. We could try to accurately convey our vision of the album," recalls Martin after recording in March.
In early 2012, they released a single, "Spring Nicht".
In mid-2012, it was announced that the band was in the studio, recording for a new album. The album titled "Adamant" was released April 19, 2013.
