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.

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").

7. I Was Just a Dreamer

The turning point: The album's grand, emotional power ballad. This is the "morning after," the moment of catharsis and vulnerable reflection after all the excess. The loud facade of the "Madman" crumbles, revealing the heartbroken dreamer behind the mask.

Official Song Description: Adelheide's Wisdom – "I Was Just A Dreamer"
What remains when the spotlights fade and the myths begin to crack?

With "I Was Just A Dreamer," the virtual band Adelheide's Wisdom releases the first single and emotional centerpiece from their monumental concept album, "The Laughing Shadow: An Ozzy Requiem."

This epic power ballad is a profound and heartbreaking confession that looks behind the facade of the "Prince of Darkness." It tells a story of deep inner conflict – from the celebrated rock star on the world's biggest stage to the lonely "ghost at home," alienated from his own family and confronted with a lifetime of "scrambled eggs and mistakes."

Beginning with a fragile, intimate piano theme, the song unfolds into a massive, orchestral anthem. The haunting duet vocals of Adelheide and André guide the listener through a landscape of regret, pain, and the faint, almost lost hope for forgiveness.

"I Was Just A Dreamer" is more than just a song; it is the key to understanding the entire requiem. It is a meditation on the price of fame, the walls we build around ourselves, and the tragic search of a man trying to master the one role that always seemed out of reach: that of a father.

We all together worked day and night. As the Godfather of Metal was a musical role model and one of the first albums that our producer bought was 'Paranoid'.

Lyrics (by Frank Talmon l'Armée]

I Was Just a Dreamer

Spotlights burn my face, 
the crowds scream my name 
But it ain't my name, 
just a mask in the game. 
At home there are wrinkled hands and plates, 
Scrambled eggs and a life of mistakes.

Who's the mask, who's the face? 
Am I lost inside this place?

I'm a fading star with a burning heart, 
A joke to them, 
a ghost at home from the start. 
I'm screaming out but it falls apart...

All he ever wanted... was a father

Frozen clocks in an empty room, 
Maps lead nowhere, 
the compass a tomb.

But the wind still carries ancient tunes, 
Of brighter days and kinder moons.

And maybe tomorrow... 
The sun will break through... 

I was just a dreamer 
I dreamt my life anyway 
I was just a dreamer 
missing mostly better days

[Solo]

And the wind still carries ancient tunes, 
Of brighter days and kinder moons.

And maybe tomorrow... 
The sun will break through... 

I was just a dreamer 
I dreamt my life anyway 
I was just a dreamer 
missing mostly better days

They cheer for the beast... 
but my kids...

I Was Just a Dreamer

Official Song Description: Adelheide's Wisdom – "The Day When Metal Died (Act III: The Historical Marker)"

What does it sound like when 250,000 fans mourn their hero in unison?

Adelheide's Wisdom delivers a preview of their forthcoming epic, "The Day When Metal Died," with the release of the monumental third act, "The Historical Marker." This track is not just a song; it's a visceral, immersive experience designed to place the listener directly into the heart of a massive, passionate stadium crowd.

Driven by the raw, majestic energy of classic 80s heavy metal, the song combines galloping rhythms and soaring twin-guitar harmonies with a soundscape that captures the electric atmosphere of a legendary live concert. In this powerful chapter of the requiem, the private grief of the earlier acts transforms into a collective, defiant roar.

"The Historical Marker" is the moment the fans raise their voices, the moment a tribute becomes a timeless anthem. It's a sonic monument where the roar of the audience becomes an instrument in itself, creating a powerful, shared ritual of remembrance.

This is Act III of a larger story, a Glimpse into the epic scale of the full requiem to come.

I wrote this song about overcoming loneliness and addiction through my relationship with Jesus Christ and how even though I've found my completion in Him, I have a constant dependence on Jesus to make it through everyday life and rise above every challenge, all things through Christ!

4. Born to Crush
The sound of a city: An aggressive industrial metal anthem that explains why the sound of heavy metal had to be forged in the industrial noise of Birmingham. The music itself is the sound of steel mills, of clashing hammers, of a whole new kind of sonic power.

Born to Crush

BLASTER

[Verse 1]
I pick up calls at 3 a.m.,
You cry, I tell you “you’ll be fine again.”
You say I’m kind — that’s what I do,
But kindness doesn’t heal me too.

I’m always first to lift you up,
While my own heart runs out of luck.
You find your peace, then fade away,
And I’m the storm you never stay.

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s easy to need me when you fall,
But hard to hear me when I call.

[Chorus]
I’m there when you need saving,
But I’m alone when I’m breaking.
Every favor, every scar I hide —
Just proof I’m not worth staying beside.
You say I’m strong, you say I’ll heal —
But tell me, when’s it my turn to feel?

[Verse 2]
I built your walls when yours collapsed,
Stitched your wounds with all I had.
But when I bleed, no one replies,
Just my voice bouncing off the night.

I’m tired of giving what I lose,
Of being the one you all run to.
It’s like my worth begins and ends,
With what I give — not who I am.

[Pre-Chorus]
You take my warmth, I fade to gray,
And still you turn and walk away.

[Chorus]
I’m there when you need saving,
But I’m alone when I’m breaking.
Every favor, every scar I hide —
Just proof I’m not worth staying beside.
You say I’m strong, you say I’ll heal —
But tell me, when’s it my turn to feel?

[Bridge]
I Held you up while I fell down
I gave you my voice ,you took my sound 
You called it love, I called it pain,
You walked away, I stayed the same!
I can’t keep fixing what’s not mine,
While no one saves me back in time!

Never The One

An Epic Novel. A Sonic Universe. One True Story.

Welcome to the sonic universe of "Behind Us The Land" (Hinter uns das Land). What began as a soundtrack for an epic historical novel has evolved into a global, cross-genre music phenomenon, celebrated by millions of listeners and a worldwide community of artists.

Discover the different worlds within this project:

The official soundtrack to the 80-year true story of the Feyerabend family.

The epic progressive metal of the virtual band Adelheide's Wisdom.

The chart-topping indie pop of the virtual artist Ulla F.

Helmed by author, producer, and lifelong music curator Frank Talmon l'Armée, this project is the result of a deep-seated passion for music and storytelling. As the human visionary, he employs a hybrid method of traditional songwriting and the pioneering use of AI tools as his "orchestra" to bring this monumental saga to life.

This is a place for deep listeners, for fans of epic stories and genre-defying music. Dive in, explore the albums and playlists, and become part of a story that connects the past with the future.

At its heart, 'Behind Us The Land' is more than just the 80-year story of one German family. It's a universal parable about loss, resilience, and the unbreakable will to build a new home from the ruins – a story that repeats itself tens of thousands of times every single day, all over the world. Our music aims to give a voice to this universal experience and to inspire courage.

OUR VISION & MISSION

Our Vision: We believe that resilience can make even the deepest wounds bearable.

Our Mission: This project is dedicated to a profoundly human, true story to achieve two things:

To Bear Witness: To show what war does to ordinary people and how its scars echo for generations.

To Give Courage: To strengthen and inspire anyone who has suffered loss or lived through difficult times.

This is music as a testament. A story that repeats itself every day.

A Beyond & Before Music production.
