Nordschlacht – Silence, Beauty and Cruelty

Nordschlacht  is a due hailing from the south of germany. The bandmembers Arnte and Schmoun were active in other projects before they joined forces in 2005. In 2007 they got signed by Klangdynamik Records and the album was released in february 2008.

The album Silence, Beauty and Cruelty is filled with complex and innovative dark electronic music, think in the vein of Mentallo & the Fixer. It is definitely not music made for clubs but music you will enjoy at home, discovering new things with every listening. It builds nice multilayered atmospheres. The vocals of Arnte are distorted while Schmoun sings with a clear voice.

This is what Schmoun has to say about the tracks:

Fortune of humanity:

It’s a fortune of humanity that we are still alive. We destroy our world and we don’t give a shit on it. The intro of silence, beauty and cruelty.


Forrester

Foresster was the first scientist that has created a mathematical method – a world model for the dynamics of growth and the causality. Population, raw material, pollution, capital and food are the entities to count and simulate the world.
How far can we still go on to say we could count our destiny with a simple algorithm?…A good question, isn’t it?


String theory

It’s about the 11 dimension which is existing and how to prove it. There are different formula developed, but the gravity is still a big question in the mathematical physics…


Don’t let it go

Imagine two people realizing that their love is not eternal. Never wanted to be loved, but it’s something keeping you alive and you don’t want to let loose.


Strokes

An old man is marked by sorrow. A long life he has behind himself and he’s tired. He wants to die, he don’t want the lies and struggles…so he stands at the point of departure and he is prepared to jump…it’s his instinct of self preservation and the hope that there is a god…he’s not committing suicide


Collapsing centuries

A nuclear war. Warm wind, a rose sky. Silence, beauty and cruelty fused forever and the centuries of our creation is collapsing in a moment…the skies are falling down


Existence

World of wars, aliens without mercy like we’ve got no mercy with animals…and be sure we are not secure…


Conclusion

Sometimes it’s hard to find your way. It means to accept that you have to give and not only to take and that you should react. It’s necessary to fight for the right and for the truth. The Tibetan die for their religion in China, they would never change themselves for hypocrisy…so be what you are…become what you are…and act, don’t give up…


Adrenaline overdose

Drugs are no solution…and no enlightenment…it’s a evil game and you are out of control…


The sear and yellow leaf

Imagine your life and compare it to a leaf….in younger years golden and protected but with every year growing older and changing from purity to knowledge…a long way…and at a glance you pass away into your harvest…and you fall asleep for a long time…


Last goodbye

My grandma died 2005. I left my home and the first time I felt very alone. It was necessary to get back my strength…and yes, it still hurts so much …


Determine

We are manipulated and we don’t realize the possibilities of the information technology nowadays. Most of us still think it’s not possible to model our mind…based on 12 monkeys…


Causality paradox

Based on startrek... to change the time line forces victims. You will never get back the same past, present and future which was there before…millions of cultures vanishing in one second…very staggering…
