Clock, uncoil your coil again
They enter with eyes lit blue and blank
Chairs creak like relics. Nothing begins

Each phrase a relic, polished thin
Where noise pretends that thought begins

Fimus Tauri - We nod. We stay. We pass
Fimus Tauri - The hour coils. The minutes mass
Fimus Tauri - We nod. We stay. We pass
Fimus Tauri - The sacred silence pressed in glass

"Sink the self beneath the brief"
"Balance faith against the frame"
"When all the suns are dead and done"
"Raise the banner none can name"

A clash of dates, a flicker lost
The scheduling stone is double-crossed
No duel, no flame-but still, collapse
We burn by spreadsheet's silent traps

I spoke. You spoke
He spoke. She spoke
He spoke again, we all agreed
Yet no one moved, and no one lead
The loop returned. The loop was fed
The document lives. The moment's dead

Each phrase a relic, polished thin
Where noise pretends that thought begins

Fimus Tauri - We nod. We stay. We pass
Fimus Tauri - The hour coils. The minutes mass
Fimus Tauri - We nod. We stay. We pass
Fimus Tauri - The sacred silence pressed in glass

If there was fire, it wasn't lit
If there was war, it wasn't bled
But silence... after silence...
Felt like death

Fimus Tauri

I lean over that old wishing well
moss-cold stone beneath my palm
whispering into its watery hush:
Please... show me how to burn bright in ash
I plead. I argue. I gasp. I hurl coins
they clink down unseen shafts
the well returns only cavernous void

"Dear Applicant
Thank you for your submission. 
After thorough consideration, 
we find it does not align with our needs. 
We welcome future inquiries"

That "we find"-a pebble skipped at my core
rippling doubt in widening circles
I press my ear to slick brick
straining for the promise it never breathed

I bend to that moss--rimmed stone
Pour trembling words:
I love you more than my anything
More than life
More than math
More than the falling snow on Christmas Eve
Coins of my soul dropped in
they sink into silent depths

"Dear Honey
I cherish your warmth
But I can't return it
It's not you, it's me"

I kneel again at that moss-rimmed mouth
voice trembling as I pour every fractured refrain:
This is my confession, 
my code, my blood in sound
take it, well, and let me rise
I belt each line like a prayer
spill my marrow into shadowed depths
then wait for the echo's promise

"Dear Bard,
We acknowledge receipt of your composition. 
Regrettably, it falls outside our scope. 
We wish you success elsewhere."

Well?

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").

6. Wings of Sin
The myth becomes reality: A dark, poetic gothic-metal hymn that interprets the infamous anecdotes of the "Madman" era not just as stories, but as acts of self-destruction. This is the moment the stage persona and the private man tragically merge.

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 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)'.

Das ist nicht nur eine EP. Das ist ein Requiem in vier Akten.

Performt von der virtuellen Progressive-Metal-Band Adelheide's Wisdom, nimmt diese Konzept-EP den Hörer mit auf die vollständige emotionale Reise der Trauer um einen gefallenen Rock-Helden.

Der Zyklus beginnt mit dem leisen, persönlichen Schock von 'Akt I: Die innere Leere', explodiert in der rohen Punk-Rock-Wut von 'Akt II: Der erste Schrei', verwandelt sich in eine gewaltige, kollektive Feier des Vermächtnisses mit der 9-minütigen Live-Hymne von 'Akt III' und findet einen letzten, majestätischen Frieden im feierlichen, orchestralen Finale von 'Akt IV: Die Hymne der Fans'.

Es ist ein Testament für eine Legende und ein trotziges Statement, dass wahre Musik niemals stirbt. Willkommen zu 'The Day When Metal Died (but this will never happen)'.

The Day When Metal Died - Act I The Inner Void

It feels like just yesterday the sun was near,
Summer raced past, bright and clear.
Golden days with laughter, the world alive,
Now the cold wind cuts and I barely survive.

I wasn’t ready for the season’s fall,
This northern silence, it drowns me all.

When I close my eyes, I see you there,
Crystal seas and sunlight in your hair.
But I’m trapped in shadows, frozen through,
Dreaming of a life meant for me and you.
Don’t let the fire fade, don’t let it die,
I’m terrified love will pass us by.

I remember spring when the birds all sang,
Sweet blue skies, how the daylight rang.
Now all I hear is the ruthless wind,
It chills my bones, it breaks me within.

Your pictures show me another place,
Like a movie scene, full of grace.

When I close my eyes, I see you there,
Crystal seas and sunlight in your hair.
But I’m trapped in shadows, frozen through,
Dreaming of a life meant for me and you.
Don’t let the fire fade, don’t let it die,
I’m terrified love will pass us by.

I’ve never belonged in this northern land,
Snow and silence, I can’t withstand.
I’m tired, I’m broken, I’m losing ground,
But in your warmth my soul is found.

When I close my eyes, I see you there,
Crystal seas and sunlight in your hair.
If we could escape, if we could be free,
Life as it’s meant, just you and me.
Don’t let the fire fade, don’t let it die,
I’m terrified love will pass us by.

So promise me, even through the pain,
You won’t forget me, you’ll call my name.

Epiphany of a Corpse

Track 8 on Stone Oracle, Hostal Handshake’s long-awaited sophomore album, is “The Lizard Sleeps in Oil”—a fast, groovy stoner rock journey laced with whammy-drenched guitar and hallucinatory sludge. The track conjures a dreamlike descent into molten riffs and cryptic imagery, exploring themes of decay, transformation, and mythic stillness.

Nearly two decades after Hellish (2007), this song marks a bold evolution for Hostal Handshake—leaning into hypnotic grooves, lyrical abstraction, and sonic experimentation. Expect layered guitars, trance-inducing rhythms, and vocals that feel more like a ritual invocation than a performance.

“The Lizard Sleeps in Oil” isn’t just a track—it’s a vision. One of the most enigmatic entries on Stone Oracle, slated to drop in 2026.

© & ℗ Hostal Handshake, 2025

lyrics:
---------
In this scorched and desert land  
A lizard sleeps beneath the sand  
Not quite dead, not truly alive  
Where human dreams no longer thrive  

Their sleeping god? Creep through the sludge  
Their civilization lost to grudge  
This tipping point sparked up this joint  
And it’s never coming back to the point  

They wait to rise with no more lies  
This could be the end of all days  
They want to see, what to believe  
Weep for rusted gods in the haze

The Lizard Sleeps in Oil

Typed a truth that bit my hand
Logic slipped through contraband
The graph looked smug, the proof got lost
I called it genius-at what cost?

I tried to fix it
the problem fixed me first
There's rhythm in recursion
and guilt in every verse

I feel silly, oh, so silly
twisting reason till it's frilly
Every thought insists it's wise
but wears a clown nose in disguise

I chased an answer down a hall of drafts
doors of maybe, doors of laughs
Truth peeked through a keyhole grin
"you again?" she said, and let me in

I feel...
not wrong
just misplaced
The melody rewrote my face

I feel silly, oh, so silly
Dancing wrong but looking pretty
Every paradox I own
sends postcards to my comfort zone

If wisdom comes, let it knock twice
I'm out rehearsing bad advice
I feel silly
and honestly
it feels just right

I feel silly, oh, so silly
Dancing wrong but looking pretty...
I feel silly, oh, so silly
Dancing wrong but looking pretty...

Silly-Frilly

This song is a searing indictment of a manipulative, hypocritical figure who cloaks cruelty in kindness. Through vivid, venomous imagery and relentless rhythm, it exposes betrayal disguised as care and sanctity masking selfishness. The lyrics build from sorrow to fury, culminating in a powerful declaration of awakening and defiance.

Cette chanson est une dénonciation cuisante d’une figure hypocrite et manipulatrice qui dissimule sa cruauté sous un masque de douceur. À travers des images percutantes et un rythme implacable, elle révèle une trahison déguisée en sollicitude et une piété factice cachant l’égoïsme. Les paroles passent de la douleur à la colère, aboutissant à un cri de lucidité et de révolte.

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.

Im Herzen ist 'Hinter uns das Land' mehr als nur die 80-jährige Geschichte einer deutschen Familie.

Unsere Musik soll dieser universellen Erfahrung eine Stimme geben und Mut machen.

UNSERE VISION & MISSION

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

Unsere Mission: Dieses Projekt widmet sich einer zutiefst menschlichen, wahren Geschichte, um zwei Dinge zu erreichen:

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.

Ein Projekt von Beyond & Before Music.
