This is the musical journey accompanying the harrowing events of Book 3 of "Hinter uns das Land" ("Behind Us The Land"), a poignant novel by Frank Talmon l'Armée. As the war closes in, the Feyerabend family, along with countless others, is forced to make the heart-wrenching decision to flee their beloved home in East Prussia. This collection of 16 tracks captures the emotional turmoil and the perilous journey that unfolds, painting a vivid sonic picture of a family caught in the midst of historical upheaval.

Book 3 plunges the listener into the chaos and fear of the final days of the war in East Prussia. The once-familiar streets of Danzig (now Gdańsk) become a haunting labyrinth of desperation and uncertainty as Inge and her family navigate the treacherous path to the harbor. The music reflects the growing tension, the ever-present threat, and the agonizing choices forced upon those seeking refuge. You will sense in the music the desperation of many refugees, but also their determination to survive.

The journey culminates in the boarding of the "Lappland," a vessel overflowing with refugees, all carrying their own stories of loss and hope. As the ship embarks across the vast and unforgiving Baltic Sea, the music evokes the vastness of the ocean, the precariousness of their situation, and the uncertain future that awaits them. You can hear in the sounds the inner turmoil of the characters: the children who do not yet fully comprehend what is happening and the adults who try to hold on to hope in the face of unimaginable fear.

From haunting melodies that echo the emptiness of a lost home to surging orchestrations that mirror the turbulent sea, this soundtrack captures the full spectrum of human emotion in times of war. Moments of quiet reflection are interspersed with powerful, driving rhythms, reflecting the resilience and determination of those who refuse to give up hope, although they know their lives will never be the same.

This musical collection offers a unique and immersive experience, drawing the listener deeper into the world of "Hinter uns das Land." It's a testament to the enduring power of family, the unwavering human spirit, and the search for peace amidst the ravages of war.

How Can They Do This?

Hey There Killa

1000 Lies (Feat. Kyat Cute)

What's more important: empathy or the cash? "North Dallas Blues" is a modern-day blues, a unique fusion of elegant chamber pop and raw, narrative hip-hop that explores the universal choice between survival and the soul.

This song was born from a place of deep respect. It was inspired by the powerful story and authentic voice of the incredible North Dallas artist, Kartel Don. We see this as an artistic dialogue, an attempt to bridge two different worlds with one shared human story.

This is a DEMO VERSION. A work in progress. As we develop this track, we'd love to build it with our community. Let us know what you think in the comments. What does this song make you feel? Your feedback is a crucial part of this creative process.

North Dallas Blues (DEMO)

Album Title: After The Bat Was Freed ... But Before Metal Died 

An Ozzy Requiem

Description:

This is more than an album. This is a requiem. A two-part rock opera epic exploring the complete life, legacy, and psychological journey of a rock and roll icon. Performed by the virtual progressive metal band Adelheide's Wisdom.

LP 1: "After The Bat Was Freed ... But Before Metal Died"
A nine-act narrative that chronicles the rise and reflection of a legend. The journey begins in the industrial haze of 1960s Birmingham, capturing the spark of a Beatles-inspired dream ("The Day The Bat Was Freed"). It crashes through the chaotic birth of a new sound ("Sounds Like a Bunch of Cats Fightin'"), explores the creation of the demonic "Madman" persona ("They Call Me The Madman"), and descends into the self-destructive excesses of the 80s ("Wings of Sin"). The album finds its emotional core in the heartbreaking ballad "I Was Just A Dreamer," before culminating in a final, monumental tribute to the man behind the myth ("Prince of Eternal Fire").

5. Crumbling Inside
The dark side of the dream: A raw, hypnotic proto-metal track in the style of the early 70s that delves into the inner collapse and psychological struggles at the height of fame. This is the sound of paranoia and alienation, driven by a simple, inescapable riff.

Crumbling Inside

This is a story of a knockdown, not a knockout.

"Ten Counts" uses the metaphor of a boxing match to tell the true story of a young refugee's arrival in post-war Germany. It's about facing a cold, hostile welcome that feels like a punch to the gut, but finding the inner strength to get back up before the count of ten. A song about the moment resilience is born from a spark of kindness in the darkest of places.

This track is a central piece of the novel "Hinter uns das Land" (The Land Behind Us).

Dies ist die Geschichte eines Niederschlags, nicht eines K.o.

"Ten Counts" nutzt die Metapher eines Boxkampfes, um die wahre Geschichte der Ankunft einer jungen Vertriebenen im Nachkriegsdeutschland zu erzählen. Es geht darum, einem kalten, feindseligen Willkommen zu begegnen, das sich wie ein Schlag in die Magengrube anfühlt – aber die innere Stärke zu finden, wieder aufzustehen, bevor man bis zehn ausgezählt ist. Ein Lied über den Moment, in dem aus einem Funken Freundlichkeit in tiefster Dunkelheit Widerstandskraft geboren wird.

Dieser Track ist ein zentrales Stück aus dem Roman "Hinter uns das Land".

This Knockdown Won’t Be The Final Round - #1 Chart Hit

This is the official Club Anthem Remix of "This Knockdown Won’t Be The Final Round" – one of the most emotional and narrative songs from our "Hinter uns das Land" (The Land Behind Us) universe.

We took the original story of a young refugee being knocked down by life but refusing to be counted out, and transformed it into a high-energy, 144 BPM trance anthem.

This is the sound of resilience turned into euphoria. A track about finding your strength and dancing through the pain. The ultimate "crying on the dancefloor" journey.

Wir haben die ursprüngliche Geschichte einer jungen Vertriebenen, die vom Leben niedergeschlagen wird, sich aber weigert, ausgezählt zu werden, in eine hochenergetische, 144 BPM Trance-Hymne verwandelt.

Das ist der Klang von Widerstandsfähigkeit, die zu Euphorie wird. Ein Track über das Finden der eigenen Stärke und das Tanzen durch den Schmerz. Die ultimative "Weinen auf dem Dancefloor"-Reise.

This Knockdown Won’t Be The Final Round (Club Anthem Remix)

This is not just an EP. This is a requiem in four acts.

Performed by the virtual progressive metal band Adelheide's Wisdom, this concept EP takes the listener on the complete emotional journey of grieving a fallen rock hero.

The cycle begins with the quiet, personal shock of 'Act I: The Inner Void', explodes into the raw, punk-rock anger of 'Act II: The First Cry', transforms into a massive, collective celebration of legacy with the 9-minute live anthem of 'Act III', and finds a final, majestic peace in the solemn, orchestral finale of 'Act IV: The Anthem of the Fans'.

It is a testament to a legend and a defiant statement that true music never dies. Welcome to 'The Day When Metal Died (but this will never happen)'.
