Rattenkrieg:
(In) burned out shells and husks of stone
Paulus’ army fought for glory
Stalingrad in endless flame
As Stukas pound it to the ground
In the bloody sewers and
Body-littered ruins
Rodina called to her children:
Crush the enemy at the gate!
Make them pay
Cower before the banshee scream
Of the deadly Katyushas
Raining fire on scores of men
Invaders in the broken streets
The enemy are sticks
Fit only for breaking
Forced hand-to-hand combat
Brought down by the Night Witch
Crumble, rock and stone
Rattenkrieg
Only men endure
In the Rattenkrieg
The pendulum of fate will swing
When Bog Voyny tolls its bell
Bound and trapped by the Red
Cut off from the Fatherland
Winter is the final nail in
The coffin of a million souls
The city burned and burned again
Inferno risen, Hell on Earth
(Solo: Wyatt Burton)
Crumble, rock and stone
Rattenkrieg
Only hate endures
In the Rattenkrieg
Soldiers starve as bodies rot
Desperate men cannot escape
Rattenkrieg

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
