NACHTMAHR have propagated their "Kriegserklärung" ('Declaration of War') – and deliver only one proof among many of the superiority of this club colossus with the song of the same name. And this is only the beginning: "Tradition" with its infernal beat machinery is launched next; "Mütterchen Russland" is brimful of marching impact and Russian monumentalism; the slow, gripping "Die Letzten Dämme" and the all-encompassing weapon of industrial mass destruction, "Hoffnung", as a destructive finale turn out to be indestructible blasts of contemporary club culture.
With his industrial infantry running like a well-oiled machine, the General of World Demise assembles an intimidating arsenal of heavy weaponry under the proudly hoisted banner of Austrian Imperial Industrial that will tear every club to pieces and blow the rivals out of history like an annoying fly.
The world will burn. Inflamed by the remains of the vanquished foes, the reflection of this triumph of musical and bodily excesses mirrors a new industrial world order, a final proof of NACHTMAHR's supremacy carved in stone. In this, it is irrelevant whether the commander of this superior beat brigade sends forth quivering industrial paroles, thundering EBM storms, marching rhythms or noise terror: the end will always be the same, NACHTMAHR will always remain standing. The opponents' ears ring with it, the women whisper it adoringly: "Veni Vidi Vici" - into all eternity.
