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.

10. Funeral of the Metal King (Bonus Track)
The final honor: An alternative, more majestic and almost sacred version of the finale. While "Prince of Darkness" is the passionate roar of the fans, this is the solemn, epic, and almost mythological coronation of a king at his final resting place.

8. Prince of Eternal Fire
The legend: An epic metal anthem that summarizes the entire life from a respectful outside perspective, celebrating all facets of the icon – "Madman! Father! Choir!". This is the story as told by history.

2. Sounds Like a Bunch of Cats Fightin'
The sound of creation: A humorous and chaotic audio-play that drops the listener into the raw, unpolished energy of a legendary band’s very first, terrible, and brilliant rehearsal. This is where the noise began.

9. Funeral of the Prince of Darkness
The fans' farewell: The finale of the main album. A loud, defiant, and proud metal anthem from the perspective of the fans who carry on the legacy. This is not a sad goodbye; it's a roar of eternal loyalty.

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

The Day When Metal Died - Act IV The Anthem of the Fans

The Day When Metal Died - Act II The First Cry

This is the overture to a journey. The first chapter of a story told in symphony and steel. Welcome to THE OPERA OF ADELHEIDE AND HER HEALING WISDOMS.

"Four Corners of Loss" is the moment of the gathering. Four strangers—two women, two men—arrive from the ends of the map, drawn together by an unspoken grief. Each carries a relic of their past: a key to a house that no longer exists; a picture, burned and torn apart; a father's watch whose hands are frozen in time; a mother's book with pages soaked in tears. They meet in a place where the compass is broken and secrets hide in plain sight.

This track is the first single from a full, four-act Symphonic Metal Opera. It's an epic tale that explores the weight of memory, the burden of unspoken words, and the arduous path toward collective healing. It asks the question: Can our deepest wounds become the source of our greatest strength?

A fusion of crushing metal riffs, soaring orchestral arrangements, and theatrical, narrative vocals creates a cinematic soundscape for a story of loss and redemption.

You are hearing the very beginning. This is the first step in a larger release strategy that will unfold act by act. Follow Beyond & Before Music to experience the full story and discover how the light returns.

Dies ist die Ouvertüre zu einer Reise. Das erste Kapitel einer Geschichte, erzählt mit symphonischer Wucht und stählerner Härte. Willkommen zu THE OPERA OF ADELHEIDE AND HER HEALING WISDOMS.

"Four Corners of Loss" ist der Moment des Sammelns. Vier Fremde – zwei Männer und zwei Frauen – finden von den Enden der Landkarte zusammen, vereint durch eine unausgesprochene Trauer. Jeder von ihnen trägt ein Relikt seiner Vergangenheit: einen Schlüssel zu einem Haus, das nicht mehr existiert; ein verbranntes, zerrissenes Bild; die Uhr eines Vaters, deren Zeiger in der Zeit eingefroren sind; das Buch einer Mutter, dessen Seiten von Tränen getränkt sind. Sie treffen sich an einem Ort, an dem der Kompass zerbrochen ist und Geheimnisse sich offen verbergen.

Dieser Song ist die erste Single aus einer vollständigen, vieraktigen Symphonic Metal Oper. Es ist eine epische Erzählung über das Gewicht der Erinnerung, die Last ungesagter Worte und den steinigen Weg zur kollektiven Heilung. Die Oper stellt die Frage: Können unsere tiefsten Wunden zur Quelle unserer größten Stärke werden?

Eine Fusion aus brachialen Metal-Riffs, opulenten Orchester-Arrangements und theatralischem, narrativem Gesang erschafft eine cineastische Klanglandschaft für eine Geschichte über Verlust und Erlösung.

Du hörst hier den allerersten Anfang. Dies ist der erste Schritt einer größeren Veröffentlichungsstrategie, die sich Akt für Akt entfalten wird. Folge Beyond & Before Music, um die ganze Geschichte mitzuerleben und zu entdecken, wie das Licht zurückkehrt.

Four Corners of Loss

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. Es ist eine universelle Parabel über Verlust, Widerstandsfähigkeit und den unzerbrechlichen Willen, aus den Trümmern eine neue Heimat zu schaffen – eine Geschichte, die sich täglich zigtausendfach auf der ganzen Welt wiederholt. 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.
