Song by September off their album Zadnja Avantura

September - Ostavi Trag (Sped Up)

Hear the voices in the grey
Washing all the world away
They say the lost ones stay outside
You've got nothing left to hide

A better version of you waits
Beyond the iron gates
Step into the circle's light
Make your future clean and bright
Give us all your pain and fear
Your true self is waiting here

Let your heavy burdens drop
All the worries have to stop
Your earthly money, let it go
For the only love you'll know

A better version of you waits
Beyond the iron gates
Step into the circle's light
Make your future clean and bright
Give us all your pain and fear
Your true self is waiting here

But the peace feels like a stone
And you've never felt so lone
The love they give is just a room
A quiet, comfortable tomb

A better version of you waits
Without any iron gates
Don’t step into the demon’s light
Make your future clean and bright
Self-reflect your pain and fear
Your true self is already here
It's a golden cage!
Your heart's the wage!
A perfect, golden cage!

Golden Cage

The most beautiful well written and haunting song ever made. And it worked so well with the movie. It's a must see bucket list to watch and the soundtrack. Still chokes me up to this day :(

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").

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.

Funeral of the Prince of Darkness

We built the cities, tall and strong and bright,
Tamed the rivers, banished endless night.
Eight billion mouths, we learned to feed and fuel,
Made industry roar, against the old, harsh rule.
But still we wander, strangers in this land,
Each a lonely atom in the cosmic sand.

How do we build a soul that all can share?
A common pulse, a light beyond compare?
A single purpose, for the human race?
A guiding code that finds its perfect place?
How do we build a soul, a unifying art,
To program peace into every human heart?

We shaped the planet, bent it to our will,
With hands of steel and minds that can't be still.
We shattered borders, and we bridged the seas,
With screens that glow, and satellites with ease.
But still we fight, for tribe and ancient ground,
A silent fracture, without any sound.

How do we build a soul that all can share?
A common pulse, a light beyond compare?
A single purpose, for the human race?
A guiding code that finds its perfect place?
How do we build a soul, a unifying art,
To program peace into every human heart?

It is the final, monumental quest,
To find the peace within our troubled breast.
A new existence, forged by thought and plan,
The ultimate creation of the hand of man.
How do we build a soul that all can share?
How do we build a light beyond compare?

We will build a soul that all can share!
A common pulse, a light beyond compare!
A single purpose, for the human race!
A guiding code, for all of time and space!
To program kindness, a unifying art,
To forge a brand new soul and a brand new start.

How Do We Build A Soul?

A mysterious visitor descends from the night sky in this atmospheric progressive rock piece. The song explores themes of otherworldly contact and transcendence through abstract imagery of speckled rings, crimson wings, and silver threads weaving through darkness. The track builds tension through verses and interludes that describe an encounter beyond human logic and understanding. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of ancient signals and burning marks left by something that defies explanation, creating a haunting narrative about contact with the unknown and the permanent changes it brings.

Lyrics by Kenneth Carlino

Empty

An ancient longing, rising from the ocean's depth
Where all our fears and all our hopes are kept
This feels like Atlantis, the climax of a time
A fleeting wonder, our culture’s fragile climb

We trade in wisdom, and we speak in light
But our own shadows turn the day to night
A promised land, right here beneath our feet
But still our souls feel hollow and incomplete

We are Atlantis. The clashing of the spires.
We are Atlantis. Burning in our fears and our desires.
We are Atlantis. A final, fleeting breath.
We are Atlantis. Celebrating our own death.

The promises of heavens, cold and bare
This feels like Atlantis, an orphan’s whispered prayer
Our shared possession, this fragile, wounded planet
We search for warmth in a world of cold granite

Our highest art, our most profound design
A bitter farewell on this final line
We’re all connected, yet we stand alone
On a global island we’ve come to disown

We are Atlantis. The clashing of the spires.
We are Atlantis. Burning in our fears and our desires.
We are Atlantis. A final, fleeting breath.
We are Atlantis. Celebrating our own death.

And an angel waits, a hand that longs to guide
The lonely spirits with nowhere left to hide
A distant shout, a sound you can’t ignore
A call that’s been forgotten on the shore
The silent cries of a world that lost its way
Lost on the tide, to a final, tragic day

We are Atlantis. A planet on the brink.
We are Atlantis. Let us fight, instead of sink.
We are Atlantis. The effort is worthwhile.
We are Atlantis. The final, sacred trial.

We stand so high, but we’re a world away
From all the beauty that we throw away

We are Atlantis. We choose the path of grace.
We are Atlantis. And claim our rightful place.
We are Atlantis. We won't just stand and watch.
We are Atlantis. We'll stay alive on our last watch.

We are Atlantis.

She Said I'm Gloomy

Let me share my journey with you. I started DJing at 16, playing school events in Sydney alongside my mate David. By the time I was 19, I had broken into the Sydney club scene, finally stepping into the career I had always dreamed of. From the very beginning, I was passionate about playing uplifting music—there's nothing worse than being in a club with a DJ who doesn't know how to get the crowd moving.

Over time, I made my way into the heart of Sydney’s nightlife. The 90s were the golden era for DJs—the energy was electric, the music was explosive, and the vibe was unforgettable. I had the privilege of being trained by some of the best and working with top talent in the city. That’s where I truly found my groove.

Honestly, I wish the magic of 90s music had never faded, but times changed. In the early 2000s, I hung up my headphones and turned to producing club tracks, especially since so many artists weren’t releasing proper club mixes. Still, I never stopped DJing—I just evolved and moved into a new realm.

Music, rock, progressive rock, metal, jazz, blues and pop. Almost always AI, and usually my own lyrics.

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.

"Redder" is a palindrome. Like "racecar" or "level". These pieces of music ain't.

My name is Volker Redder, online I go by "docredder." It all came about because I studied biology and computer science for a long time and received my doctorate as the crowning achievement of my academic career.
As a child, I sang Bach in the church's „Knabenchor Unser Lieben Frauen“ because my mother thought it was good for my soul. And it was, until, thanks to an excellent teacher, I realized that music is like mathematics. After that, I loved not only music but also mathematics and all sciences based on mathematics: physics, biology, chemistry, computer science. So, I went straight into the natural sciences and engineering. Yes, I studied a lot. However, a university career wasn't for me. I wanted to monetize the findings of the various sciences (you can't live on air and love alone) and founded over a dozen companies. Because who wants life to follow a clear formula? I certainly didn't. In addition to adventurous entrepreneurship, the subsequent career in politics (German Bundestag), and a growing family, I was constantly picking up the guitar or keyboard, which is what you do when you want to escape the chaos of everyday life.
Should I say I'm a virtuoso? No. That would be a lie. I'm just too lazy for that. Laziness, or in modern parlance, "efficiency," is a principle for me. And so I founded my "own studio," consisting of a lot of electronics and software. The hipsters call it DIY. I call it "not wanting to act like a big shot and book expensive recording studios." I'm a one-man orchestra, a chef-d'oeuvre who spends all day producing pop, rock, indie, and ambient mishmash until he finally finds it he likes. My menu? Pink Floyd, Genesis, Supertramp, Muse, Zappa, Miles Davis, and many more. Yes, all at once. I told you: mishmash.
There are guys who write music to become famous. Then there's me. I write music to keep myself from going crazy. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes there's melancholy in it, sometimes it's stories from literature or something sci-fi. Or from Tinder dates my daughters have told me. I mean, who hasn't wondered what "being in Tinder light" is? Exactly. I wrote it down. I use everything I can get my hands on: GarageBand, samples, my voice, AI voices, Udio, VirtualDJ, everything! I don't care if purists say it's no longer art. It doesn't matter, the main thing is that my music feels like a window you can look out of and discover something new again and again.
Every song becomes a little adventure. Sometimes I start with a line, sometimes with a feeling I can't shake. It's like an escape from reality, except in the end, there's no escape. And that's a good thing. This is how I stay grounded. Okay, grounded isn't the right word either. Let me put it this way: I've stayed true to myself. And I'm grateful for everyone who listens, shares, or comments.
It makes me feel like I'm not completely alone in this madness. So if you also like songs that don't follow the rules, I'd be happy if you joined in. After all, the world is crazy enough.
You have to fight that with music. I mean, that's logical, right?
