In All Silence is a studio album by the band Die Toten Hosen and was released on November 14, 2008. It represents the band's first collaboration with music producer Vincent Sorg and the “Principal Studios” in Senden . Co-producer is Hans Steingen , who also supports the band musically.

In addition to the fast, punky intro stream , the album mainly contains quieter tracks with thoughtful, philosophical texts, which, as in all of the band's previous albums, are almost exclusively written by Campino . Musically, the band puts the album under the theme of "energy".

Campino sings the ballad Dissolving in a duet with his stage partner Birgit Minichmayr from the performance of Brecht's Threepenny Opera in Berlin's Admiralspalast in 2006. Raphael Zweifel plays the cello in the pieces of music Exchange against you and Dissolve .

The graphic designer Dirk Rudolph was responsible for the cover design .

Videos

Hella Wenders shot a video about the creation of the album in the Principal Studios with the title Inside everything new - How everything began , which is enclosed with the first edition of the album on DVD.

The music video from 2008 for the song Strom comes from the director Philipp Stölzl . It tells the story of the band who literally got live while practicing in the rehearsal room because the cables burned through. At first, lightning bolts shoot from the eyes of the musicians, their hair stands on end and their skin burns, but they continue to play until only their skeletons move across the stage. After one last jump, her bones fall to the ground. The roadie, played by former Big Brother participant Serafino, who brings in the drinks ordered, pours out the coffee in shock.

In 2009 three more music videos were released, each for the single releases of the album: Everything was , mostly in black and white, created under the direction of Paul Shyvers , shows Die Toten Hosen mainly in the tour bus, in the backstage area and during the soundcheck on stage. The music film to Dissolve in which Birgit Minichmayr and Campino mime a couple in love is another collaboration between the band and director Wim Wenders . Drowning was shot by young filmmaker Martin Carolus Zillmann with Campino in a Berlin prison cell.

resonance

After the band had paused for three years and the Machmalauter Tour was sold out in advance, In aller Stille reached number one in the German charts in the first week and was awarded 3 × gold in Germany for more than 300,000 records sold.

The Musikexpress describes the album as a “disgruntled mixture of melancholy and nihilism” and writes of a “low mood” with life is fatal and of the “kitsch high” with dissolving .

laut.de calls the band's music on this album “more emotional and deep than it has been for a long time.” and the reviewer of Rock Hard magazine writes: “ Quietly sounds grown-up, thoughtful, mature and hard, melancholy and in the right places calm, pathetic and original. ”Frank Thiessies from Metal Hammer considers the album to be“ warmer ”and“ comparatively wild ”compared to the“ last studio works ”; in his opinion “dare and rock your pants again without leaving the familiar old town pubs completely”.

Publication for Argentina

On April 3, 2009 the band released a version of the album under the title La hermandad - En el principio fue el ruido with the subtitle: En el final fue el silencio (Spanish brotherhood - In the beginning there was the noise, in the end there was the silence ) mainly for the Argentine market. This is a compilation, composed of songs from the albums In aller Stille and Zurück zum Glück and the single Friss oder dies .

The older recordings were remixed . The Spanish-language song Uno, dos ultraviolento originally comes from the Argentine punk band Los Violadores , which first released the title in 1983. Like Here Comes Alex , the text is based on the film A Clockwork Orange . In addition to two other cover versions The Guns of Brixton , originally by The Clash and Viva la Muerte by Slime , the album contains a first release. Vida desesperada is a German-language song with the Spanish refrain: “Una vida desesperada, no dejamos de luchar.” (Spanish. “It's a desperate life, we don't stop fighting”).

During the screening of the song Uno, dos ultraviolento at the Teatro Colegiales in Buenos Aires in April 2009, Die Toten Hosen filmed themselves with finger cameras . One of the mini cameras was attached to Campino's microphone. Tato Pereda put together a music video from the recordings.
