This remastered album 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.

Flee From The Ruins (From the Original Novel Soundtrack)

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.

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").

3. They Call Me The Madman
The birth of a persona: An avant-garde metal circus that explores the conflict between the private family man and the public shock-rock figure. The highlight is a heartbreaking, distorted cello quote of "Mama, I'm Coming Home," representing the real man screaming from inside the cage of his own myth.

They Call Me The Madman

This Set was recorded as part of the Culture circus x Rave Forest Alliance Collectives collaboration that became a wondrous night to all that came to the event. Amongst the trees with neon lights and good beats on the wind was something magic and I look forward to the next one. It's been a while since I put up a new set as I'm always too busy to get around to it but thanks to Tom A I have the recording this time.
I hope you enjoy the listen and can join us at the next event 

Big Love

Rolls Like Royce

This is not a traditional song, but a musical scene – a cinematic moment based on the true story at the heart of the epic novel "Hinter uns das Land" (The Land Behind Us).

The text is a direct, unabridged translation of a key passage from the novel, depicting an authentic, handed-down moment from the author's mother's, Inge Feyerabend's, escape from East Prussia in the winter of 1945. It captures the intimate vow of familial solidarity as their homeland disappears into the dark.

This is the most direct link between true history, literature, and music within the "Soundtrack Universe".

Dies ist kein klassischer Song, sondern eine vertonte Szene – ein filmischer Moment, der auf der wahren Geschichte im Herzen des Roman-Epos "Hinter uns das Land" basiert.

Der Text ist eine direkte, ungekürzte Übersetzung eines Schlüsselmoments aus dem Roman, der auf den authentischen Erlebnissen der Mutter des Autors, Inge Feyerabend, während der Flucht aus Ostpreußen im Winter 1945 beruht. Er fängt das überlieferte, intime Versprechen des familiären Zusammenhalts ein, während die Heimat im Dunkel verschwindet.

Es ist die direkteste Verbindung zwischen wahrer Geschichte, Literatur und Musik im "Soundtrack Universe".

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.

UNSERE VISION & MISSION

Unsere Vision: Wir glauben daran, dass Resilienz selbst die tiefsten Wunden erträglich machen kann.

Zeugnis ablegen: Zu zeigen, was Krieg mit normalen Menschen macht und wie seine Narben über Generationen nachhallen.

Mut machen: Jeden zu stärken und zu inspirieren, der Verlust erlitten oder schwere Zeiten durchlebt hat.

Das ist Musik als Vermächtnis. Eine Geschichte, die sich täglich wiederholt.
