Making and release
On their current album "Milharis", Stille Volk took a different path and did not shy away from opulent arrangements.[2] The band arranged a meeting with Philippe from Holy Records and Martin, and orally agreed on a future collaboration between Stille Volk and Prophecy Productions.[2] This collaboration gave the band complete freedom over art and planning.[2] In their early years the band released new albums quickly, but later there were sometimes five years between two records.[2]
