lyrics

Four years into the war
The front line remains unchanged
Countless casualties
Wasted for minor gains
Bloodshed rages on
Gearing up for another try

At dawn
The offensive begins
Through a dense fog
Allied troops advance
The speed is crucial
A total surprise
Capture the trench lines
The wheels set in motion

New tactics
Never seen before
It’s the best option
To break the stalemate

First hour of action
Straight into the fields
Thousands surrender
As the front line breaks
Hundreds of field guns
And howitzers roar
The enemy crumbles
The speed is regained

No prior warning
Or initial bombardment
Finally the front is open
Ramp up the advance
A crucial breakthrough
With the help of heavy armour
Utilizing the gains
To achieve the final victory

Still a long way to go
It is not over yet
Months of fighting remains
But it’s the last fall

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

Excellent. Sweden always know how to death metal. Reminds me a little of Hypocrisy somehow. Gareth Alan
