I liked the whole thing, vocals, guitars, drums.

Guitars and drums are Soo Nice! What a sound quality

Adelheide’s Wisdom – These Scars Don't Bleed is a monumental  rock opera, weaving together progressive metal, folk, and symphonic rock into a narrative mirroring the novel’s generational saga.

A descent into darkness with epic metal ballads (Carry On) and gothic despair (Maybe Hell’s Not Fire), anchored by Adelheide’s contralto (reminiscent of Anette Olzon meets Chelsea Wolfe). Her voice embodies wartime grief, while André’s baritone (channeling Mikael Åkerfeldt’s versatility) shifts between growls and cleans for psychological depth.

 bridge of Hard Rock (Some Roads Lead to Heaven...) and Celtic Metal (This Is Where My Roots Run Deep), where instruments like Hammond organ and 12-string guitar clash and reconcile, mirroring postwar identity struggles.

Thematic Core: Nature’s healing (river motifs), intergenerational echoes (letters, photographs), and the alchemy of scars into wisdom.

For fans of: Opeth’s storytelling, Nightwish’s grandeur, and SubRosa’s raw emotion.

DEEP INTO THE SEA (feat. Kim Dongha)

This track is about an experience I had when I was 18 and going to my first "adult" New Year's party with the first verse describing how I got there and the second verse about getting home while the chorus represents the party's mood. I was obsessed with the blue album by WEEZER, Come On Pilgrim by the Pixies, and the first Velvet Underground album.

If U Need It (Birthday Dubs 2)

This is a track about excessive greed and the need to keep acquiring wealth, power and control. The second verse refers to the global financial crashes...Lyrics below

A brand new day breaks the darkness
But it’s still the same old sun
We all go round and round again
Until we’re back where we’ve begun

The best day of their life for some and for others its a curse
Another day to get through for them it can’t get any worse
Oh it gets worse, you better call for the nurse
Blame the universe, its all so perverse

We all drink from the well of life some fill their caddies to the brim
One day that well is gonna run dry and no-ones gonna win
They take every single drop they can for the life in which they’re immersed
They drink from the well and they never stop but they still can’t quench their thirst

Their lips are pursed, they always have to be first
Then they drink till they burst, a never ending thirst

There’s nothing fair about it we can’t choose to who we’re born
A world stuffed full of roses another filled with thorns
As years go by we watch friends fail and we wonder what does it mean
Do they water down the milk of life so they can have more cream

They take the cream it’s so bloody obscene
They plot and they scheme so they can live their dream

Yeah we all drink from the well of life some fill their caddies to the brim
One day that well is gonna run dry and no-ones gonna win
They take every single drop they can for the life in which they’re immersed
They drink from the well and they never stop but they still can’t quench their thirst

Their lips are pursed, they always have to be first
Then they drink till they burst, a never ending thirst

But it just don’t work it just don’t work
Their never ending thirst only makes things worse
It only makes things worse, that never ending thirst

Never Ending Thirst

EP: "Strength In You" - Beyond & Before Music feat. Ulla F.

Discover "Strength In You," a new EP by Beyond & Before Music celebrating the unbreakable power of the human spirit! Inspired by the overarching themes of the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" but with a universal message, this collection features four songs that tell stories of resilience, hope, and growing through adversity.

With the track "Scars Made Me Stronger" at its core, the EP explores, in catchy Indie Pop and Pop styles, how we can learn from setbacks and find inner strength. The music is light, hopeful, and invites you to sing along, carried by clear melodies and positive vibes, symbolically represented by the spirit of "Ulla F."

These songs are meant to encourage and remind us that even after dark times, light always awaits, and that life's scars ultimately make us stronger.

Strength In You

"Carry On" - From the "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" Project

This is "Carry On," an epic metal rock ballad (5:57 min) by Beyond & Before Music, inspired by the novel "Hinter uns das Land" ("Behind Us The Land") by Frank Talmon l'Armée.

Imagine a conceptual band, "Adelheid's Wisdom," performing this track: A powerful, emotional male lead vocal tells a story of overcoming adversity, of stumbling and rising again. He's supported by haunting, mystical female and male vocals and an epic soundscape blending the intimacy of piano and cello with the power of distorted guitars, driving drums, and orchestral elements.

The song features dynamic shifts, a spoken word interlude with thunderous undertones, a soaring guitar solo (melodic building to a shred), and a massive final chorus. It's a song about the scars that make us stronger, the battles within, and the unbreakable spirit that carries us on, together.

This track is a deep dive into themes of resilience, inner strength, and the hope that endures even in the darkest of times.

"Carry On" (Complete Epic Rock Ballad Lyrics)

[MYSTIC INTRO – André] 
There’s a road where shadows whisper...
Where the lost and lonely gather...
Every scar a buried secret...
Every step... a choice to matter...

[VERSE 1 -André] 
The road of life, a winding, rugged track,
Sometimes a gentle slope, sometimes no turning back.
You see the storm clouds gather, feel the chilling breeze,
And stumble over stones that bring you to your knees.
A heart can shatter... 
(Echo - Elfriede) shatter...
Like fragile, fallen glass...
(Echo - Elfriede) glass… 
Hopes can dim and falter...
Watch the moments... pass... 

[PRE-CHORUS 1 - Adelheide] 
But in that silence, when you’re standing all alone...
You hear a whisper... 
a voice you’ve always known...
A spark to light the darkness...
To re-ignite... the flame... 

[CHORUS 1 – André] 
WE CARRY ON! WE CARRY ON! Together! Side by side!
Through the deepest valleys! Across the raging tide!
Every scar... a lesson! 
Every tear... a sign!
This unbreakable spirit...
(Adelheide) Yours... and... mine!

[VERSE 2 - Adelheide] 
You might have built your fortress... upon the shifting sand...
Watched it wash away... 
(Echo) away...
By forces... you can’t command...
(André) The echoes of a promise... 
A dream you held... so tight...
Fades into the shadows...
Of an endless... lonely night...

[MYSTIC INTERLUDE 2 - André] 
The storm you fear... is already inside...
(Adelheide and André) It carved your courage... from the mountain of pride...

(Adelheide) 
The chains that bind you... are forged by your hand...
Now strike the anvil... and reshape... the land...

[INTRO – REPRISE – André and Adelheide in the back]

There’s a road where shadows whisper...
Where the lost and lonely gather...
Every scar a buried secret...
Every step... a choice to matter...

[BRIDGE] (Full Band But Adelheide Lead)
Oh, the world will test you...
(Echo:) test you...
Try to break your will...
(Echo) break...
Push you to the limits...
Stand you on that hill!

[[FINAL CHORUS - André]
WE CARRY ON! WE CARRY ON! WE CARRY ON! TOGETHER! WE ARE STRONG!
This is where we rise!
(André and Adelheide) THIS IS WHERE... WE BELOOOOONG! (Hold note)

[OUTRO – Adelheide and André] 
The road still winds... (Breathy)
But now we walk it...
Together...

Carry On

"Where My Roots Run Deep" - An Epic Journey (7:23 min)

From Beyond & Before Music, inspired by the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" by Frank Talmon l'Armée, comes "Where My Roots Run Deep" – an extended epic rock ballad that musically traverses a lifetime of experience.

This track blends the emotional depth of a rock ballad with elements of progressive rock, metal and mystic folk. The powerful, emotional lead vocals of André guide through the narrative verses, which speak of life's challenges and the search for truth. He is joined by the mystical, often whispered or ethereally sung voice of Adelheide, who imparts profound, almost philosophical insights in intros, interludes, and as a harmonic complement in the choruses.

Soaring choruses, backed by a full band and choir effects, declare the enduring power of one's origins: "THIS IS WHERE MY ROOTS RUN DEEP!" The musical journey includes a three-part instrumental solo. A primal bridge leads to a climactic triple finale and acoustic coda brings the epic to a close.

"Where My Roots Run Deep" is a meditation on identity, resilience, the search for belonging, and the unbreakable connection to one's history, even when facing loss and upheaval. It's a song about how our deepest roots, though unseen, give us the strength to endure and ultimately define who we are.

"The Anchor in the Gale" - An Epic 90s Metal Rock Ballad

From Beyond & Before Music, this is "The Anchor in the Gale" – an epic, nearly 8-minute 90s-style Metal Rock Ballad that takes the listener on a profound emotional journey.

While inspired by the overarching themes of the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land", this song tells a universal story. It's about feeling lost in the storms of life, searching for a truth that won't fail, and grappling with the ghosts of the past. It's a journey from inner turmoil to the final realization that the true anchor lies within oneself.

Musically, the song builds from a haunting piano intro, led by the emotional baritone vocals of André, to powerful, full-band choruses with soaring guitars and choir effects. The narrative is deepened by the mystical, whispered voice of Adelheide, who acts as a guide. The track features an extended, melodic guitar solo and culminates in a massive, orchestral finale, reflecting the journey from despair to triumphant self-realization.

This is a song about resilience, inner strength, and the hope that can be found even after the greatest losses.

"The Anchor in the Gale" - Eine epische 90s Metal Rock Ballade

Von Beyond & Before Music kommt "The Anchor in the Gale" – eine epische, fast 8-minütige Metal-Rock-Ballade im Stil der 90er Jahre, die den Hörer auf eine tiefgründige emotionale Reise mitnimmt.

Obwohl von den übergeordneten Themen des Romans "Hinter uns das Land" inspiriert, erzählt dieser Song eine universelle Geschichte. Es geht darum, sich im Sturm des Lebens verloren zu fühlen, nach einer unumstößlichen Wahrheit zu suchen und mit den Geistern der Vergangenheit zu ringen. Es ist eine Reise vom inneren Aufruhr bis zur finalen Erkenntnis, dass der wahre Anker in einem selbst liegt.

Musikalisch baut sich der Song von einem ergreifenden Intro aus Klavier, geführt von der emotionalen Baritonstimme von André, zu kraftvollen Refrains mit voller Band, hymnischen Gitarren und Choreffekten auf. Die Erzählung wird durch die mystische, geflüsterte Stimme von Adelheide vertieft, die als eine Art Führerin fungiert. Das Stück beinhaltet ein ausgedehntes, melodisches Gitarrensolo und gipfelt in einem gewaltigen, orchestralen Finale, das die Reise von der Verzweiflung zur triumphalen Selbsterkenntnis widerspiegelt.

Dies ist ein Lied über Resilienz, innere Stärke und die Hoffnung, die auch nach den größten Verlusten gefunden werden kann.

"Some Roads Lead To Heaven - Some Just Disappear West"

From Beyond & Before Music featuring Adelheid's Wisdom, this is an epic rock ballad for everyone who carries the ghosts of their past. We believe this is a song that everyone can identify with, as it deals with the universal experiences that have shaped all of our lives.

Inspired by the narrative style of classic rock epics, this 6+ minute track tells three stories many of us know all too well: the childhood friend who vanished over time, the magical place of our youth that was erased, and the fateful encounter that changed a life forever. These are the moments of loss that make us who we are.

With this song, we believe we have crafted one of the most emotional and powerful rock ballads of the last 20 years. It’s a journey through nostalgia, heartbreak, and the incredible resilience it takes to carry on.

While inspired by the overarching themes of the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land," this song speaks a universal language.

"Some Roads Lead To Heaven - Some Just Disappear West"

Von Beyond & Before Music featuring Adelheid's Wisdom kommt eine epische Rockballade für jeden, der die Geister seiner Vergangenheit mit sich trägt. Ein Song, mit dem sich vermutlich jeder identifizieren kann, denn er handelt von den universellen Erfahrungen, die unser Leben prägen.

Inspiriert vom erzählerischen Stil klassischer Rock-Epen, erzählt dieser über 6-minütige Track drei Geschichten, die viele von uns kennen: die Kindheitsfreundschaft, die in der Zeit verloren ging; der magische Ort der Jugend, der verschwunden ist; und die schicksalhafte Begegnung, die ein Leben für immer verändert hat. Es sind die Momente des Verlusts, die uns zu dem machen, was wir sind.

Wir haben uns zum Ziel gesetzt, eine der emotionalsten und kraftvollsten Rockballaden der letzten 20 Jahre zu schaffen. Ein musikalisches Epos über Erinnerung, Herzschmerz und die unglaubliche Resilienz, die es braucht, um weiterzumachen.

Obwohl von den übergeordneten Themen des Romans "Hinter uns das Land" inspiriert, spricht dieser Song eine universelle Sprache.

"Maybe Hell's Not Fire" (Unplugged Ballad) - performed by Adelheide's Wisdom

A new, soulful interpretation from the "Hinter uns das Land" universe: Adelheide's Wisdom, the conceptual band from Beyond & Before Music, presents "Maybe Hell's Not Fire" as an intimate unplugged ballad. This version strips the song down to its emotional core, telling a universal story of memory, loss, and the quiet hope that shimmers in the dark.

Carried by a memorable, fingerpicked acoustic guitar and a wistful harmonica, the poetic lyrics unfold with a special intensity. The drums are used only subtly, leaving space for the vocals and the melancholic melody to breathe.

This is a song designed to give you goosebumps, taking you on a search for the lost "fireflies" of life.

"Maybe Hell's Not Fire" (Unplugged Ballad) - performed by Adelheide's Wisdom

Eine neue, gefühlvolle Interpretation aus dem "Hinter uns das Land"-Universum: Adelheide's Wisdom, die konzeptuelle Band von Beyond & Before Music, präsentiert "Maybe Hell's Not Fire" als intime Unplugged-Ballade. Diese Version reduziert den Song auf seinen emotionalen Kern und erzählt eine universelle Geschichte von Erinnerung, Verlust und der leisen Hoffnung, die in der Dunkelheit schimmert.

Getragen von einer einprägsamen, fingergezupften Akustikgitarre und einer sehnsüchtigen Mundharmonika, entfaltet sich der poetische Text mit einer besonderen Intensität. Das Schlagzeug wird nur sehr dezent eingesetzt und lässt Raum für die Stimme und die melancholische Melodie.

Ein Song, der unter die Haut geht und auf die Suche nach den verlorenen "Glühwürmchen" des Lebens mitnimmt – ein garantierter Gänsehauteffekt.

lyrics:

Your voice still hums in the upstairs room –
A dusty Metallica tape on play...
The ribbon bled through every tune...
Now the silence screams...
Your name.

I count the cracks in every wall,
Where our heights in blood were scrawled...
The house forgets...
But the shadows...
Still crawl.

I'm forging the sparks...
To burn their lies to flame!
What the storm stole in whispers...
I scream...
In chains!

And though the road still reeks of pain...
I'll walk it...
Anyway!

The oak tree swings with a noose so tight,
Its roots are snakes in the cellar light...
They told me "cut it down"...
I whispered "try"...
Now the axe rusts...
Underground.

"Maybe hell's not fire...
Just a room where ghosts
Rewrite your story...
In charcoal...
And smoke..."

I'm forging the sparks...
To light your face anew!
What the wind couldn't carry...
The dead...
Remember you!

And when the sirens sing my name...
I'll laugh...
And fade...
Away.

Maybe Hell's Not Fire
