Single: "Phosphor" – Rap Variation (Hinter uns das Land / Behind Us The Land)

Dark Boom-Bap Rap Version

This raw, sample-heavy reinterpretation of "Phosphor" transforms the novel’s harrowing phosphorus bomb scene into a lyrical monument of survival. Over gritty boom-bap drums and haunting piano loops.

Why It Stands Apart:
While the rock/metal versions scream the horror, this rap iteration lets the silences speak. The sparse, knocking beat mirrors the rhythm of stumbling footsteps in snow, while the chorus ("Fire and smoke, blood stains the page") hits with the weight of a war-diary confession.

For Fans Of:

The storytelling grit of Immortal Technique’s "Dance With the Devil"

The sample alchemy of MF DOOM’s "Accordion"

The historical gravity of Billy Woods’ "Spongebob"

Single: "Phosphor" – Rap-Variation (Hinter uns das Land)

Dark Boom-Bap Rap Version

Diese düstere, sample-lastige Neuinterpretation von "Phosphor" übersetzt die Phosphor-Angriffsszene des Romans in ein lyrisches Denkmal des Überlebens. Harte Boom-Bap-Beats und geisterhafte Piano-Loops.

Warum sie heraussticht:

Wo die Rock/Metal-Versionen das Grauen herausschreien, lässt diese Rap-Fassung die Pausen sprechen. Der karge Beat imitiert den Rhythmus von Flüchtlingsschritten im Schnee, während der Refrain ("Feuer und Rauch, Blut auf dem Blatt") wie ein Kriegstagebuch-Geständnis wirkt.

Für Fans von:

Der erzählerischen Wucht von Kool Savas’ "Der beste Tag meines Lebens"

Der Sample-Kunst von Haftbefehl’s "Chabos wissen wer der Babo ist"

Der historischen Dichte von Audio88 & Yassin’s "13 Jahre Audio88"

Fire And Smoke - Rap

Single: "Let Us Survive This" – Rap Variation (Hinter uns das Land / Behind Us The Land)

Dark Industrial Trap Rap Version

This rap distills the novel’s most brutal chapter – the 1945 flight across the frozen Vistula Lagoon – into a suffocating audio nightmare. Glitching 808s mimic cracking ice, while sparse piano strikes echo like distant artillery. Inge Feyerabend’s whispered pleas ("Wir dürfen nicht aufgeben") dissolve into machine-gun hi-hats.

Why It Stands Apart:

Where other war raps scream, "Let Us Survive This" freezes. The beat’s hollow spaces force you to hear what’s unsaid: the crunch of charred bones underfoot, the muffled sobs of children. The chorus ("Sun glares on the snow / war’s breath, cold as stone") isn’t sung – it’s exhaled like a dying breath.

Single: "Let Us Survive This" – Rap-Variation (Hinter uns das Land)

Dark Industrial Trap Rap Version

Diese Rap-Adaption übersetzt die Flucht über das Haff (Januar 1945) in ein beklemmendes Hörbild. Zerberstende 808-Bässe = brechendes Eis, verzerrte Frauenstimmen = letzte Funken Menschlichkeit. Inge Feyerabends Worte ("Ich will leben") werden vom Beat verschluckt – als stolpere sie durch den Schnee.

Warum sie heraussticht:

Während andere Kriegs-Raps explodieren, erfriert dieser. Die Pausen zwischen den Beats sind so kalt wie das Haff selbst. Der Refrain ("Hinter uns das Land / vor uns die Nacht") wirkt nicht wie ein Rap, sondern wie ein Fundstück aus einem Massengrab.


Let Us Survive This

TRACK: "Run Through the Fire, Climb Over the Dead"

A sonic war relic from the novel "Behind Us the Land" – fusing post-industrial brutality with raw rap storytelling to score the Feyerabend family's 1945 escape.

Sound:

Bass as Trauma Pulse: Switches between 808-like dread and metallic shrieks (like Stuka sirens)

Drums as Death March: Snare hits mimic MG42 bursts, kicks echo refugee footsteps

Rap DNA: Half-sung verses morph into typical Rap flows (think Clipping. meets Protomartyr)

Archaeological Sounds: Authentic WWII bomb impacts, Danzig's cobblestones cracking

"Post-rock's despair meets rap's urgency – my mother's diaries ('...and then the guns fell silent') spat back as survival rhymes over collapsing basslines."

For fans of:

The Body's bass-driven doom with Billy Woods' historical lyricism

Godspeed You! Black Emperor scoring a war documentary

Music that doesn't entertain – it testifies

📖 Soundtrack to the novel "Behind Us the Land"
🎤 Lyrics sourced from my mother's survival diaries

TRACK: "Run Through the Fire, Climb Over the Dead"

Ein klangliches Kriegsrelikt aus dem Roman "Hinter uns dem Land" – verschmilzt post-industrielle Wucht mit Rap-Erzählkraft zur Vertonung von Flucht 1945.

Sound:

Bass als Trauma-Puls: Pendelt zwischen 808-Drohnen und Stuka-Sirenen-Schreien

Schlagzeug als Todesmarsch: Snares wie MG42-Salven, Kicks wie Flüchtlingsschritte

Rap-Einfluss: Zeilen im typischen Rap-Stil (zwischen Audio88 und Author & Punisher)

Sound-Archäologie: Echte Bombeneinschläge, splitterndes Danziger Pflaster

"Post-Rock-Verzweiflung trifft Rap's Dringlichkeit – meine Mutter's Tagebücher ('...und dann schwiegen die Waffen') als Überlebens-Reime über kollabierenden Basslinien."

Swans mit der lyrischen Wucht von Haftbefehl

Einstürzende Neubauten vertonen ein Geschichtsbuch

Dive into the compelling narrative of "So Here On Hela," a powerful track directly inspired by Frank Talmon l'Armée's poignant novel, Hinter uns das Land. This song evokes the chilling atmosphere and profound uncertainty experienced by refugees on the Hela coast. Having narrowly escaped the atrocities of Stutthof, they now face an agonizing wait for passage. This piece explores their emotional struggle, a poignant dance between the glimmer of hope for a new beginning and the deep-seated fear of what lies ahead. Available in four distinct arrangements—Musical, Film Score, Alternative Rock, and Experimental—each version offers a unique lens into their inner turmoil.

Tauchen Sie ein in die fesselnde Erzählung von "So Here On Hela," einem eindringlichen Stück, das direkt von Frank Talmon l'Armées bewegendem Roman Hinter uns das Land inspiriert wurde. Dieses Werk fängt die beklemmende Atmosphäre und tiefe Ungewissheit ein, die Flüchtlinge an der Küste von Hela erleben. Nachdem sie den Gräueln von Stutthof nur knapp entkommen konnten, stehen sie nun vor einer quälenden Wartezeit auf die Überfahrt. Dieses Stück erforscht ihren emotionalen Kampf, einen ergreifenden Tanz zwischen dem Schimmer der Hoffnung auf einen Neuanfang und der tief sitzenden Angst vor dem Ungewissen. Erhältlich in vier verschiedenen Arrangements – Musical, Filmmusik, Alternative Rock und Experimental – bietet jede Version eine einzigartige Perspektive auf ihre innere Zerrissenheit.

"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.

This Is Where My Roots Run Deep

"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
