Much of Schiller's Material takes over a year for North American Release most likely due to Translation and Re-recording of tracks from German to English along with other exclusive and Previously unreleased Material. European Countries however see Schiller's Release much earlier
After the North American release of Life, Christopher Von Deylen stated that he did not wish to continue mixing English translations of the German language tracks.
The name of the band is taken from one of von Deylen's heroes, famed German poet Friedrich Schiller.
