well being a fan of martial industrial i could post hundreds but i'll just post a couple


Death In June - Symbols of the Sun

haunting and simplistic....but lyrically amazing....it's very much like an anthem for all people who have fallen in battle.....very moving


Dernière Volonté ‎- Au Travers Des Lauriers

so putting aside the lyrics (which are in French)....the music is amazing....a perfect blend of pop music and harsh martial beats....lyrically he basically tells the story of a woman widowed and how her husband fell in battle with honor

Spoiler for english translation:
He leaves for war, not knowing when he will return
He will return at Easter, or maybe at the trinity
The trinity passes but he doesn't return
She, to her tower climbs up, as high as she can climb
She glimpses of his page dressed in black
Beautiful page, o my beautiful page, what news are you bringing?
She glimpses of his page dressed in black
Beautiful page, o my beautiful page, what news are you bringing?

To the news I bring, your beautiful eyes will cry
Quit your pink clothes and your pinned satins
He is dead madame, dead and buried
I saw him carried to earth by four officers
One held his great saber the other his shield
One held his armor the other his destroyer
Around his grave rosemary was planted
On the highest branch a nightingale was singing
We saw his soul fly through the laurels
Each one set their bellies to the ground and stood again.

To sing the victories he won,
The ceremony done, each one went to bed...



Subhumans - Religious Wars

my favorite Subhumans song
