lyrics
"These are the greatest of times..."
He said while giving me his gun:
"Man's courage is measured
by battles he has won."
"These are the greatest of times..."
He said while giving me his knife:
"For country if you must die -
you gave this pledge with your life."
I'm tired of old man sending
young boys to die in war.
This grand illusion of immortality -
If I go long enough,
Death will eventually wait at the
Doors are closing in
The frail state of my mind
Weak point - Head and heart;
One for bullet,
One for knife...
Voices around my head;
The painful scream of men:
"Mother! Father! I am dying!
I'll never ever see you again..."
There is no glory
nowhere to be found
When you are seven feet
deep in the ground
Only the dead men
have seen the end of the war
And us living are counting
minutes and seconds, keeping score
As we know, it's only matter of time
and time's a bitch, always cheating for crown;
Like playing poker with beggars and blind
is always getting higher;
and no chips are around...
"Коли ви вмирали, вам дзвони не грали,
Ніхто не заплакав за вами.
Лиш в чистому полі ревіли гармати,
А зорі вмивались сльозами."
All is quiet on the Eastern Front!
"Коли ви вмирали, вам дзвони не грали,
Ніхто не заплакав за вами.
Лиш в чистому полі ревіли гармати,
А зорі вмивались сльозами."

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.
Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

Extraordinary work by Antrisch, can't stop listening to it although Black Metal usually struggles to convince me.
Same like for Antrisch's EXPEDITION I: Dissonanzgrat applies: This album is strong from its first sounds of creaking wooden hull to its last sounds of wind and waves, deciding for a favourite track would not do justice for the geniality of the remaining five, the one coming closest to a favourite one could be I FESTGEFROREN - Packeisfalle in my opinion. onkelchristoph
