NOW OR NEVER - Hide Behind The Screen (Official Lyric Video) 2025

Metalapolis Records 2025-10-10 | NOW OR NEVER are back! Founded by ex-PRETTY MAIDS guitarist Ricky Marx and drummer Ranzo in 2012, NOW OR NEVER has consistently delivered ultra racy, typed and captivating music. It takes on the guts, the neck, the hips and makes you want to stamp your feet! NoN has released three albums so far that pushed the envelope in its own genre. Now it’s time to start a new era with a new line-up and a new label. The second single, HIDE BEHIND THE SCREEN, deals with a topical issue. Social media and online communities make it possible to hide, but also to present oneself in a completely different way than one is in real life. Perfect faces. Broken truths. Copy-paste romance. Ctrl+C hearts. Ctrl+V lies. Switching between fakes. Loving an illusion. Lose yourself to a lie!

Video realized by Ranzo.

HIDE BEHIND THE SCREEN
(Music: Ricky Marx, lyrics: Ranzo)
Perfect faces built with fake designs
Every flaw erased by coded lines
Through the window of a glowing phone
You connect, but still, you’re all alone
When the filters all are gone

Every comment is a hollow praise
Empty echoes in a digital maze
"You're my soulmate" written line by line
Copy-paste romance works every time

Your love’s as cheap as the wi-fi
That keeps it alive

Behind the screen you hide
A mask you can’t deny
Each one thinks they’re so divine

Every heart you catch is just a game
Copy-pasted love in every frame
Oh, you whisper words they need to hear
"You're my only one, my sweet, my dear"

And they all think that
You deeply really care

Behind the screen you hide
A mask you can’t deny
But the truth is far from kind, no
Far from kind

Behind the screen you hide
Copy-paste line by line
Every trick rehearsed so fine
But the truth is far from kind
In the end what will you find?

Behind the screen you smile
A fake lover, just a lie
You’re a hunter of their kind

Behind the screen you hide
Copy-paste, lying line by line
Every trick rehearsed so fine

Behind the screen you hide
A mask you can’t deny
Each one thinks they’re so divine
In the end what will you find

WOLFSKULL - Netherworld In Flames (Official Music Video) 2025

Metalapolis Records 2025-09-19 | The new WOLFSKULL album MIDNITE MASTERS was released on CD, vinyl and digital on Friday July 25th. The new single NETHERWORLD IN FLAMES is another great example that the album unfolds like a noir road movie in sound and it creates a cinematic world where love, fire, and mythical outlaw energy define the night. It’s pure adrenaline – a no-compromise banger that hits straight from the start. That’s why the band paired it with a 'Live In The Raw' video that captures their raw energy in its purest form. “When writing the song, we drew some inspiration from the vibes of classic DIO tracks like Night People or I Speed At Night, but of course with our unmistakable WOLFSKULL DNA,” says guitarist Bjørn Fehl. “This track is all about fun: we want to see banging heads and raised fists in the front rows!”

NETHERWORLD IN FLAMES
(Music: Björn Fehl / lyrics: Peter Merschhemke)

Stop - Look at yourself
Look at yourself right now
Freeze - Listen to these
Screams in ghostly pain
Once you were the last in line
Your back against the wall
All by yourself all down the line
You hear the final call

Seeking a netherworldly fire
Here we go – A netherworld in flames

If‘n we try - If‘n our souls ignite
If‘n we burn - If‘n we run all night

Stop - Loosen up
Take a trip, so crazed for carnage
Come - Let me take you in
Scary but forever
Rise above – Set the world on fire
Rise above – United by the flame

WE WILL BURN IN HELL
(Music / lyrics: Michael Goldschmidt)

Foundations made of stone
Built to be overthrown
The halo only shines in company

Outwardly a saint
Seemingly self-contained
Appearances can be deceiving

All you sinners, all you saints
In the end, you will go up in ﬂames
So be aware
As far as I can tell
We all will burn in hell
Will burn in hell

Another perfect lie
Bullshit to justify
Never practiced what was preached

Lighting silent ﬁres
To please their own desires
In a life of lies and deceit

All you sinners, all you saints
In the end, you will go up in ﬂames
So be aware
As far as I can tell
We all will burn in hell

Do you believe in heaven or hell
Or that in darkness we dwell
Have you adhered to all the rules
And let yourself be led by fools

Do you think there’s a light at the end
That leads us to the Promised Land
Do you believe we’ll all be redeemed
And nothing was as it seemed

You know you will burn in hell

All you sinners, all you saints
In the end, you will go up in ﬂames
So be aware
As far as I can tell
I will burn in
You will burn in
We all will burn in hell

DIVE INTO THE VOID
(Music: Ricky Marx, lyrics: Ranzo)
Doubt creeping in your mind
Reason is telling you to hide
And you can't find your way
You know it's not the first time
Frozen and you don't know why
Should I do act or just cry

Step beyond painted lines, so don't wait for a sign
Enjoy and trust the ride, only you can decide
Climb the mountain to be proud
Go and everything will be fine

There's no coming back
Don't try to find out how and why

Dive into the void
Wake up the beast inside you
Dive into the void
There's nothing that you can't do
Oh, I don't know if you will crash or burn
But dive into the void
This is how we learn

Leave behind waisted time
You won't grow inside a cage
Nothing to lose, just turn the page
Every fall makes you stronger
Go ahead, as far as the final frontier

There's no turning back
Leave your fears, don's fade to black

Dive into the void
Wake up the beast inside you
Dive into the void
There's nothing that you can't do
Oh, I don't know if you will crash or burn
But Dive into the void
The only way to learn
Learn learn learn

Dive into the void
Wake up the beast inside you
Dive into the void
There's nothing that you can't do
Oh, I don't know if you will crash or burn
But Dive into the void
The only way to learn

Oh, I don't know if you will crash or burn
But dive into the void
Just go and
Trust me

DRAGONS NEVER SURRENDER
(Music/lyrics: Matthias Bludau)

Two decades of massive strikes
Live has taught us
Every second counts
Kings & Warriors on our side
On our Devil‘s Road we saw
The Raging Fire burn

No last goodbye
We’ll meet again

Dragons will not surrender
Somewhere in time and space
Our dreams come true

Dragons will always remember
We still carry on
On wings of destiny

Never surrender
Never surrender

Eye for eye and Blood for Blood
Pedal to the metal
We let the Speed Demon fly
Lost our Man on a Mission
So Young & Wild
We came Back to Battle and
Here We Ride

No last goodbye
We’ll meet again

Dragons will not surrender
Somewhere in time and space
Our dreams come true

Dragons will always remember
We still carry on
On wings of destiny

Never surrender
Never surrender
Never surrender
Never surrender

Never surrender
Never surrender

We Will Not Surrender
We Will Not Surrender

BARON BLOOD
(Music / lyrics: Michael Goldschmidt)

Somebody’s hiding in the dark
Somebody's to rip your life apart
You will not get away

Somebody’s here to hunt you down
Somebody will push you to the ground
You will not get away

His lust for blood will never end
To darker deeds he will descend

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Baron Blood is rising
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Baron Blood is back

Little whispers right behind your back
Nowhere to run, all you see is black
You will not get away

A dark shadow looms up from behind
Turn too quick - the darkness leaves you blind
You will not get away

His lust for blood will never end
To darker deeds he will descend

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Baron Blood is rising
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Baron Blood is rising

He hunts you
He curses you
He kills you

Baron Blood is rising

He hunts you
He curses you
He kills you

Baron Blood is back

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Baron Blood is rising
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Baron Blood is rising

He hunts you
He curses you
He kills you

Baron Blood is rising

He hunts you
He curses you
He kills you

Baron Blood is back

Expectations running down my veins

Code of starlight
Compass through life

Algiz, runa of protection
Guardian mark of light

Stygma

By the fire of night
I´m sinking my eyes out of sight
And by the fire of fear
Salvation´s near

Feel the power inside
Infinite tears fall to hide
See the shade of the signs
Sister of the Night

I am the will to initiate the highest alignment

With the source on behalf of humanity´s betterment

Algiz, runa of protection
Guardian mark of light

Stygma

By the fire of night
I´m sinking my eyes out of sight
And by the fire of fear
Grace appears

Feel the power inside
Infinite tears fall to hide
See the shade of the signs
Sister of the Night

By the fire of night
I´m sinking my eyes out of sight
And by the fire of fear
Grace appears

Feel the power inside
Infinite tears fall to hide
See the shade of the signs
Sister of the Night

By the fire of night
I´m sinking my eyes out of sight
And by the fire of fear
Grace appears

Feel the power inside
Infinite tears fall to hide
See the shade of the signs
Sister of the Night

THE NOWHERE KIDS
(Music / lyrics: Michael Goldschmidt)

Not to be heard, not to be seen
Not to become what could have been
Pushed from side to side
By society denied

In a world not meant for you
Where all this loneliness is true
Judged by the look
Seen as a crook

Here we are
And we will take you down
Here we are
And we will watch you drown
Here we are
And we will take you down
The Nowhere Kids are in town

Born from dirt, raised in fear
The rather unwelcome are here
Better lock your door
You're what they're looking for

Here we are
And we will take you down
Here we are
And we will watch you drown
Here we are
And we will take you down
The Nowhere Kids

Here we are
And we will take you down
Here we are
And we will watch you drown
Here we are
And we will take you down
The Nowhere Kids are in town

FOR KING AND COUNTRY
(Music: Matze Ehrhardt / lyrics: Francis Soto)

I Have No Words Of Wisdom
To Ease Our Aching Hearts
He'll Be Gone And I'll Be Here
A Thousand Miles Apart

The Morning Comes All Too Fast
I'm Not Prepared At All
Because I Know There Is A Chance
My Soldier Won't Come Home

I Wanted More Than Anything
To Make It Back To You
But There Was A Job I Just Had To Do

Soldiers Headed Off To Fight The War
They Fight For King And Country
Soldiers Headed Off To Fight The War
The Price We Pay For Others

He Says He's Leaving
He'll Be Gone About A Year
He's Headed Off To Fight The War
And His Time Is Drawing Near

It's My Job
To Keep You Safe And Free
Just Because I'm Gone
My Love Doesn't Disappear

Soldiers Headed Off To Fight The War
They Fight For King And Country
Soldiers Headed Of To Fight The War
The Price We Pay For Others

SPEAK OF WAR
(Music: Matthias Bludau, Timo Rauscher, lyrics: Torsten "Thassilo" Herbert)

Broken souls, broken dreams
Shattered bones, a dreadful scene
It‘s all the same around the world
The call to arms, fear unfurled
Children cry, children die
Innocent and failure to comply

They’re fighting on and on and on
Striking forces drop the bomb
Brighter than a 1000 suns
No more talking, mayhem begun

See the bloodshed, feel the pain
The battle is raging
Again

Bring 'em death, tell 'em lies
Shot 'em down, democratize
They're fighting on a global scene
Spread the fear world wide
For liberty, religion, peace
It's up to you, decide

They’re fighting on and on and on
Striking forces drop the bomb
Brighter than a 1000 suns
No more talking, mayhem begun
See the bloodshed, feel the pain
The battle is raging, kill for gain
See the bloodshed, feel the pain
The battle is raging
Again

They’re fighting on and on and on
Striking forces drop the bomb
Brighter than a 1000 suns
No more talking, mayhem begun

See the bloodshed, feel the pain
The battle is raging, kill for gain
See the bloodshed, feel the pain
The battle is raging
Again

A Speak Of War
A Speak Of War
A Speak Of War
A Speak Of War
A Speak Of War
A Speak Of War
A Speak Of War
A Speak Of War

A Speak Of War - Is this worth dying for
A Speak Of War - Is this worth crying for
A Speak Of War - I Speak Of War
Kill, Kill, Kill

A Speak Of War - Is this worth dying for
A Speak Of War - Is this worth crying for
A Speak Of War - I Speak Of War

HAPPY TIME
(Music & lyrics: Jack Power)

There was a lady on the road
Who was crazy ‘bout my load
And we made love all day long

Yes, I found the true romance
While an inspiring lap dance
For you pretty babe I wrote this song

You were the princess of the night
‘Cause in my life you brought me neon light
Not only a pretty hot love affair
I can feel the love in the air

Short time, long time
Happy time, every time
Come on, love me on demand
Short time, long time
Happy time, every time
Come on, love me on demand

You say you want this and that
For just one kiss and some bread
I bought you everything
And much more

You honoured it with a gift in my pants
Burns like hell, like fire ants
Now I’ve to knock on your back door

You were the princess of the night
‘Cause in my life you brought me neon light
Not only a pretty hot love affair
I can feel the love in the air

Short time, long time
Happy time, every time
Come on, love me on demand
Short time, long time
Happy time, every time
Come on, love me on demand

Ha

Short time, long time
Happy time, every time
Come on clap your hands
Short time, long time
Happy time, every time
Come on clap your hands

Short time, long time
Happy time, every time
Come on, love me on demand
Na na na na na na na

Short time, long time
Happy time, every time
Come on, love me on demand

Short time, long time
Every time’s a happy time
Yeah yeah yeah
Short time, long time
Every time’s a happy time

Oh oh oh hey yeah
Oh oh oh hey yeah
Oh oh

You Buried My Shame In The Deep Blue Sea
And Cast My Fears To The Bed Of The Ocean

Enriched My Pride With The Fruits Of Love

You Removed Past Guilt From My Mind
And Cold, Cold Air
Cold, Cold Air
Cold, Cold Air

You Build Up My Faith, So Mountain High
Warm My Soul With A Wondrous Smile
Now I'm Crowned In The Comfort Of Your Love
I Feel Your Love In The Safety Of Your Arms

As Far As East Is From The West
You Removed Past Guilt From My Mind
And Cold, Cold Air
Cold Cold Air
Cold, Cold Air

WILD EMOTIONS
(Music & lyrics: Stefan Aurel)
I have the winds in my sail
And they will lead my way
Always cruising around
Nothings gonna make me stay
I‘m on the run and I feel there’s no place to hide
`Cause when you get in my way
It‘s like two stars collide

Gimme some wild wild wild emotions
Feel the fire‘s burning
Deep inside your heart
Gimme some wild wild
wild emotions
Nothings here on earth
Will ever tear us apart

See you dance
was the hottest thing I‘ve seen
My heart stood still
How can a woman be so mean
I have no secrets
and I swear I have no clue
Just wanna fly high with you

Gimme some wild wild wild emotions
Feel the fire‘s burning
Deep inside your heart
Gimme some wild wild wild emotions
Nothings here on earth
Will ever tear us apart

My friends all told me
that I‘m going inssne
But I don’t care
As long as you cure my brain

Gimme some wild wild wild emotions
Feel the fire’s burning
Deep inside your heart
Gimme some wild wild wild emotions
Nothings here on earth
will ever tear us apart
Gonna tear us apart
Gimme some wild emotions baby

MIDNITE MASTERS
(Music: Björn Fehl / lyrics: Peter Merschhemke)

Save you from the cold wind
Keep you strong and wild
Save you from the daylight
Keep you as my bride

We are the gods defiled
As in aghori rites
Forever cast aside
We children of the night

Now raise your arms of fire
Embrace the chosen ones
who so desire

Midnite Masters - Hit and run
Going faster all night long

We are the gods defiled
Our servants plead to die
Forever cast aside
Hidden like a lie

AROUND
(Music & lyrics: Steve Strater)

Round, around, around
Round, around, around
Round, around, around
Round, around, around

The world I used to know
Is buried in the past
Like ashes in the ground
There’s nothing built to last
Watch it fall, watch it burn
No way back and no return
Through the dust a light still shines
A new horizon
yours and mine

Round around around
The world has turned around
Round around around
All the lost is found
Round around around
We are now on a different ground
Round around around
The sound from the underground

The footsteps in the dust
Lead where no one’s been
Fear is just a ghost
It’s time to start again

No more shadows, no more chains
Feel the blood rush through our veins
On the edge we spread our wings
Jump into what tomorrow brings

Round around around
The world has turned around
Round around around
All the lost is found
Round around around
We are now on a different ground
Round around around
The sound from the underground

Round, around, around
Round, around, around
Round, around, around

Round, around, around
Round, around, around
Round, around, around
Round, around, around
Round, around, around
Round, around, around

Standing at the edge
Of everything we burned
Smoke is in my lungs
But still the tide has turned
One last breath, one final step
No more fear and no regrets
Through the fire, through the pain
Something new will rise again

Round around around
The world has turned around
Round around around
All the lost is found
Round around around
We are now on a different ground
Round around around
The sound from the underground

HOLLER IN THE HOLLOW
(Music: Björn Fehl / lyrics: Peter Merschhemke)

Hey now
I‘ll comfort thee
Hey hey now
Sweet mystery
Pitch black in the forest
In the sea of trees
A renewal of darkness
Buried under leaves

I hear you holler in the hollow
Down in the sea of trees
I fear you hidden in the shadow
Down in the sea of trees

Hey now
My stormy breed
Hey hey now
In the fog to weep
Pitch black in the forest
Ain‘t no relief
A renewal of darkness
Symphony of grief

JAGUARETTE
(Music: Björn Fehl / lyrics: Peter Merschhemke)

Cheer Up, Cheer Up
To the sound of the raging bull
My mind‘s made up for you
Cheer Up, Cheer Up
In the name of the bad and cruel
My blood runs hot for you

Cheer Up, Cheer Up
To the pain of a lusting fool
Hard boiled in burning fuel
Cheer Up, Cheer Up
Primitive passion of evil
My mind is set on you

She‘s the queen of all the tortures
Love provides
She‘s the queen of all the vices
Love can‘t hide
She‘s the queen of all the tortures
Queen of all the pain inside
She‘s the queen of all sure fire
Ways to ride

Jaguarette – Will you raise the dead
Jaguarette – Will you summon the dead

CARRY THE WORLD
(Music & lyrics: DEFENDER)

Feeling small in the grand scheme of things
Why should it matter to you

Wondering why and for what we are here
You don't have a clue

One day it all becomes so clear
It's not easy to see

The world is turning for eternity
but eternity's not for me

Carry the world
We carry the world
Together we rise
Or together we’re burning in hell

Carry the world
We carry the world
Together we rise
Or together we burn

Open up your narrow mind
You'll be surprised what you may find

No matter how far away you are
We leave no one behind

There's more to it than you might think
The world and we are one

If we can change we change the world
Our journey's just begun

Carry the world
We carry the world
Together we rise
Or together we’re burning in hell

Carry the world
We carry the world
Together we rise
Or together we’re burning in hell

Carry the world
We carry the world
Together we rise
Or together we’re burning in hell

Carry the world

Was trägt die Sonn, was trägt das Meer, was trägt all Blütenwelt dazu
Wie's meinem Herzen bleiern schwer ergeht
Es lässt mir keine sanfte Ruh, erfahr' ich hier was mir noch fehlte
Kommt ein Puzzleteil hinzu das meine Seele eisern wählte

Zu schöpfen dieses eine Bild das mir bestimmt
Die Zeit verrinnt, mir geht es nah
Zwar illusorisch doch beharrlich nagend an dem Wesen mein

Ich wäge klein zu sein
Gekettet wie mit Blei an ihren Lauf, der niemals ruht
Und diese Glut in meinem Herzen lodert auf
Sich sehnend nach der Welten Ende wo die Zeit nicht mehr bestände
Da sie doch niemals bestand! Doch das weiß nicht mein Verstand
Der mir immer wieder hämmert in mein Herzen tief hinein - Wie in Stein!

Also was vermag sie nun, diese Sonne und das Meer
Vorn aus Wasser hinten Blüten
Will mich halten, den Geist spalten, zeigt mir Wunder, zeigt mir Mythen
Zu erzählen, dass es lohne diese ganze fahle Welt

Zu schöpfen dieses eine Bild das mir bestimmt
Die Zeit verrinnt, mir geht es nah
Zwar illusorisch doch beharrlich nagend an dem Wesen mein

Ich wäge klein zu sein
Gekettet wie mit Blei an ihren Lauf, der niemals ruht
Und diese Glut in meinem Herzen lodert auf
Sich sehnend nach der Welten Ende wo die Zeit nicht mehr bestände
Da sie doch niemals bestand! Doch das weiß nicht mein Verstand
Der mir immer wieder hämmert in mein Herzen tief hinein - Wie in Stein!

Ich wäge klein zu sein
Gekettet wie mit Blei an ihren Lauf, der niemals ruht
Und diese Glut in meinem Herzen lodert auf
Sich sehnend nach der Welten Ende wo die Zeit nicht mehr bestände
Da sie doch niemals bestand! Doch das weiß nicht mein Verstand
Der mir immer wieder hämmert in mein Herzen tief hinein

LOVE TACTICS
(Music: Lennart Hammerer & Jakob Struve, lyrics: Lennart Hammerer)

Oh there is just a long way out, stoic eyes stare right at you
Now there is no doubt, be the winner or the fool
You thought you are in charge this time but nothing’s like it seems
Oh you’re leaving with shattered dreams

When will you ever learn?
It’s a game that the people play
It’s finally your turn
Pick your cards, chose your way
And prove your exercise in
Love Tactics, be sure they won’t let you win
No compromise with
Love Tactics, don’t let it crawl under your skin

There’s more to it than wishing well
Should’ve known right from the start
From the seventh of heaven you fell
Once so close now worlds apart
Gotta stop to mess around
Now it’s up to double down
You know that you need to try

When will you ever learn
People gamble with high stakes
It is finally your turn
Go all-in until your heart breaks
By their experience with
Love Tactics, be sure they won’t let you win
No compromise with
Love Tactics, don’t let it crawl under your skin

I know your fears make you hesitate
But don’t let them break you
Take the chance before it’s too late
Before it’s too late

Keep looking and you’ll find
People don’t have armour around their hearts
You’ll have to keep in mind
Everybody plays their part in the art
To mesmerize with
Love Tactics, you can lose or win
No compromise with
Love Tactics, don’t let it crawl under your skin

METAL WORLD
(Music & lyrics: Selin Schönbeck)

The ﬁrst time that you felt the power
You listened to this kind of music
You were blown away

We’re enjoying decibel
Enough to raise some hell

You are the power, you are the music
You are the crowd, you never lose it
We play it loud, we build the storm
We all are metal, we ﬁt together
In this Metal World

Heavy guitars, drums and a screaming voice
So powerful and mighty - you had no choice

We’re enjoying decibel
Enough to raise some hell

You are the power, you are the music
You are the crowd, you never lose it
We play it loud, we build the storm
We all are metal, we ﬁt together
In this Metal World

You are the power, you are the music

You are the power, you are the music
You are the crowd, you never lose it
We play it loud, we build the storm
We all are metal, we ﬁt together
In this Metal World
In this Metal World

BARRICADES
(Music & lyrics: Tom Käser)

I fear closing my eyes
Right here - right now
I fight to survive
It drowns me alive

A touch of a fire
Right here - right now
The fading of light
As we all unite

World took a spark
Like a match in the dark
And the fire brought me to life

Right now
We storm the walls – oh, freedom
Somehow
Shatter the sky – explode like the sun
Thy kingdom come

Tomorrow's too far
Somewhere - somehow
So goddamn away
Can't get back yesterday

Burning bridges down
Somewhere - somehow
We´ll light up the sky
Whatever - don't let the fire die

World took a spark
Like a match in the dark
And the fire brought me to life

Right now
We storm the walls – oh, freedom
Somehow
Shatter the sky – explode like the sun
Thy kingdom come

World took a spark
Like a match in the dark
And the fire brought me to life

Right now
We storm the walls – oh, freedom
Somehow
Shatter the sky – explode like the sun
Right now
We storm the walls – oh, freedom
Somehow
Shatter the sky – explode like the sun
Thy kingdom come

GRANITE HEART
(Music & lyrics: DEFENDER)

I know I promised it to you,
That I would never run away again
Now my world broke up in two
And I tell you I can’t stay the pain

I’ve got a granite heart
It was death that took us all apart
I will keep you in my mind
There’s no one else like you that I can find

You’ve told me live is made for living
Now I’m not the one I used to be
But I know we’ll meet again
Nothing could ever stop you and me

I’ve got a granite heart
It was death that took us all apart
I will keep you in my mind
There’s no one else like you that I can find

HER NAME WAS ALICE
(Music: Andy Dormann & lyrics: Andy Dormann & Giu Mastrogiacomo)

Imagine what you’re good at
Pull it out of your magic hat
Break with all your bad habits
So spoke the white rabbit
Oh dear, body and psyche split, you better disappear

We are all mad here – go chop her head off
We are all mad here – head off

Her name was Alice – she’s a wolpertinger
Her name was Alice – twists him around her little finger

She grins like a cheshire cat
Oh no, what made her do that
Can’t go back again
She was a different person then

We are all mad here – go chop the head off
We are all mad here – head off

Her name was Alice – she’s a wolpertinger
Her name was Alice – twists him around her little finger

Her name was Alice – she’s a wolpertinger
Her name was Alice – twists him around her little finger

Her name was Alice

SMILE SMILE SMILE
(Music & lyrics: Stefan Aurel)
I saw her dancing in a midnight bar
She was the cutest little lady that I met so far
She had that special something in her eyes
T.R.O.U.B.LE… that’s what I thought when she looked at me
She said don‘t stand and deliver
C’mon over to me yeah

And gimme your smile smile smile
Let me see you smile
Gimme your smile smile smile
I wanna see you smile
Just smile for a while
Baby let me see you smile

My knees got shaky
Start to shiver inside
Shake me up she said
Tonight`s the night
She was an angel
Who came down to hell
I swear next morning
Didn’t trust my eyes
`Cause when the booze
is your brother
the darkness lies
She took my hand
And then HE whispered
in my ear… oh no

Gimme your smile smile smile
Let me see you smile
Gimme your smile smile smile
I wanna see you smile
Just smile for a while
Baby let me see you smile

Smile smile smile
Let me see you smile
Smile smile smile
I wanna see you smile
Just smile for a while
Baby let me see you
Let me see you smile

DROWNING IN HEIGHTS
(Music: Lennart Hammerer & Weazzel, lyrics: Lennart Hammerer)

When we are facing it’s like staring into a mirror
There is no excitement and joy
The life we’re chasing, I would hold It dearer
Without the fun being destroyed
What we’re getting into might be something we don’t see
And it’s never really clear, but I know
It’s like a fraction of what we could be
Why am I home, what am I doing here

I’m looking for a nightlife
To conjure the stars in your eyes
The night, nightlife
Until we’re drowning in heights
The night, nightlife
To conjure the stars in your eyes

Out there are mysteries I want to explore
I feel like I’m missing out but I don’t want to ignore
If there is something happening I wanna go for it
You should be there with me I want the thrill to the core

It’s like a fraction of what we could be
Why am I home, what am I doing here

I’m looking for a nightlife
To conjure the stars in your eyes
The night, nightlife
Until we’re drowning in heights
The night, nightlife
To conjure the stars in your eyes

When we are facing there’s a fracture in the mirror
Decide to stay, and it won’t go away
What we‘re getting into might be something we don‘t see
But it‘s time to make it clear
It’s like a fraction of what we could be
Why am I home, what am I doing here

I’m looking for a nightlife
To conjure the stars in your eyes
The night, nightlife
Until we’re drowning in heights
The night, nightlife
To conjure the stars in your eyes

seems to be the only one to approve
the uninvited and the misfits
with horns and cloven hooves

come to me and let me in
pray for me – committed sins

whenever caught between two evils
choose the one you’ve never tried
whenever caught between two evils
oh, antiheroes never die

shape…shapeshifter

left a trail of destruction
thousand knives cutting through and through
a gatecrasher on a transformation
now i’m turning into you

come to me and let me in
you see me drowning in a bottle of gin

whenever caught between two evils
choose the one you’ve never tried
whenever caught between two evils
oh, antiheroes never die

shape… shapeshifter

whenever caught between two evils
choose the one you’ve never tried
whenever caught between two evils
oh, antiheroes never die

DYING TO LIVE
(Music & lyrics: DEFENDER)

Welcome tonight's armageddon
To the night I will arise
Following the death of the world
When a light punches a hole through the skies

Now you listen to what I say
Death isn't the end, it's another way
Striving for life is the only thing
No matter what, I'm not giving in

Dying
I am dying to live
It's my desire
I am dying, I am dying to live
I found a way to come back from hell

Beware the one who dared to risk
He is taking life on in storm and mist
He goes on until the end of time
Becoming life and death entwined

Dying
I am dying to live
It's my desire
I am dying, I am dying to live
I found a way to come back from hell

Dying to live forever
Dying to live forever

BLOOD & ICE
(Music: Frank Noras / lyrics: Andreas von Lipinski)

In shadows deep, where demons creep
A tale of blood and ice, we keep
Through thunder's roar and lightning's strike
In the realm of eternal night

Through snowstorms fierce, our spirits soar
Against the odds, we'll always roar
With hearts ablaze and courage high
We'll fight beneath the endless sky

In icy veins, the fire burns
A warrior's soul, forever yearns
To face the darkness, to break the chains
In the land where blood and ice remains

Blood and ice, a deadly dance
Blood and ice, wasteland's trance
Swords aflame with ancient spite
Blood and ice, In the kingdom of eternal night

Upon the glacier's edge, we stand
In frozen silence, across the land
With eyes that pierce the coldest night
We march ahead, in the fading light

Through icy winds and chilling frost
Our souls unyielding, never lost
In every step, a legacy's grace
we embrace this endless chase

In icy veins, the fire burns
A warrior's soul, forever yearns
To face the darkness, to break the chains
In the land where blood and ice remains

Blood and ice, a deadly dance
Blood and ice, wasteland's trance
Swords aflame with ancient spite
Blood and ice, In the kingdom of eternal night

(Music: Michael Vetter, lyrics: Tanja Hansen)

Anor
Ithil
Vali
Mar

Silence in darkness
Breaking the fall with a love that ignites and conquers it all
Silence in darkness
Through fire and fury I am reborn

The silence of your heart opens spaces
Far beyond the arc

The doorway to your shift sacred places
Enlightenment of dark

What´s meant for you will come chance and choices
Oceandrops and sparks

Your enlightenment is the victory over darkness in the night
Your enlightenment is the victory over darkness in the night

Silence in darkness
Breaking the fall with a love that ignites and conquers it all
Silence in darkness
Through fire and fury I am reborn

The silence of your heart opens spaces
Far beyond the arc

The doorway to your shift sacred places
Enlightenment of dark

What´s meant for you will come chance and choices
Oceandrops and sparks

Your enlightenment is the victory over darkness in the night
Your enlightenment is the victory over darkness in the night

Silence in darkness
Breaking the fall with a love that ignites and conquers it all
Silence in darkness
Through fire and fury I am reborn

Silence in darkness
In chaos of sorrow, I´m lifted in prayer
Silence in darkness
Together we rise, my saviour, my light

1 – 2 – 3 – 4

Your enlightenment is the victory over darkness in the night
Your enlightenment is the victory over darkness in the night

BATHED IN BLOOD
(Music & lyrics: Lukas Remus, Christopher Blankenaufulland, Lukas Famula, Sebastian Kanczok, Paul Reil)

Greetings to you
Grace may be shown
Although it’s not me to decide
The two-edged sword will justice bring
For evermore he is alive

Proud as a lion
Pure as a lamb
Painfully slain

Stained from the blood we were bathed in
To wash us free from the night
From the clouds the city arrives
A giant cuboid of gold
Kingdom unfold
Kingdom unfold

I know your works
Endurance and toil
The liars, oh you have found to be false
But then you fell
Away from what’s right
Remember, repent from it all

Proud as a lion
Pure as a lamb
Painfully slain

Stained from the blood we were bathed in
To wash us free from the night
From the clouds the city arrives
A giant cuboid of gold
Kingdom unfold
Kingdom unfold

Let your blood flow over me
Open your flesh and let me see

Stained from the blood we were bathed in
To wash us free from the night
From the clouds the city arrives
A giant cuboid of gold
Kingdom unfold
Kingdom unfold unfold

A NEW HOPE
(Music: Frank Noras / lyrics: Andreas von Lipinski)

In the arctic depths, a signal breaks the ice
Alien echoes, a space device
A spaceship dormant, climate's bitter twist
Rising from slumber, in the frost it exists

A new hope in the frozen night
And from the stars, a message takes its flight

Metallic whispers in the polar breeze
Galactic travelers, brought to their knees
Melting glaciers reveal the unknown
A spaceship's tale, in the ice it's sown

A new hope in the frozen night
And from the stars, a message takes its flight

Through climate's fury, a warning bell
A cosmic tale that the ice will tell

As the earth trembles, the message is clear
A call for harmony, dispelling fear
The Arctic's secret, a revelation's birth
A spaceship's plea for a peaceful earth

A new hope in the frozen night
And from the stars, a message takes its flight

SHAME ON LOVE
(Music & lyrics: Stefan Aurel)

Life is for the living
Power ain‘t no crime
Rocking through the city
Feel the big whole world is mine
No time for hesitation
Live without no fear
Just count until to four
And take another gear

Hey hey hey call my name
Hey hey hey call my name

Easy to remember how it‘s gonna be
January `til December
Just turn around the key
Take another highway
Ain‘t no way to stop
Look behind horizons
Riding to the top

Hey hey hey just call my name
Hey hey hey call my name

Hey hey hey want you call my name
Hey hey hey why don‘t you call my name
Just hey hey hey
Please call
Call my name
Please just dial my number baby

SPOTLIGHT ft. Matteo vDiva Fabbiani

What I’ve said is what I’ve done
I’m getting back where I belong
Lift me up or pull me down
Can’t hold me back, don’t get me wrong

All is said, all is done – Oh brothers & sisters say goodbye
All is made, all is gone – I’m the catcher in the rye
In the blink of an eye – I’m second to none
In the blink of an eye – Horrified

I’m shouting to the left, screaming to the right
Standing in front, in the spotlight
Shouting to the left, screaming to the right
Standing in front, in the spotlight

What I’ve seen from where I’ve been
The challenges made in-between

All is said, all is done – Oh brothers & sisters say goodbye
All is made, all is gone – I’m the catcher in the rye
In the blink of an eye – I’m second to none
And in the blink of an eye – Horrified

Shouting to the left, screaming to the right
Standing in front, in the spotlight
Shouting to the left, screaming to the right
Standing in front, in the spotlight

I will stay with you – Thru and thru

Shouting to the left, screaming to the right
Standing in front, in the spotlight
Shouting to the left, screaming to the right
Standing in front, in the spotlight
Ooh oh ohoh… Standing in front, in the spotlight
Ooh oh ohoh… Standing in front, in the spotlight

THE HOWLING
(Music: Andy Dormann & lyrics: Andy Dormann & Giu Mastrogiacomo)
do you know these little moments
when life takes all of it
do you know these little moments
when feelings are nothing but a piece of shit

don’t talk to me
don’t speak to me

i’m howling
have you ever touched my face, when life blows on my skin
howling
have you ever touched my face, heaven let someone else in
i’m howling

do you know these little moments
don’t ask me what went wrong
don’t you know there is no reason
hungry like a wolf, i’m howling this song

don’t talk to me
don’t speak to me

i’m howling
have you ever touched my face, when life blows on my skin
howling
have you ever touched my face, heaven let someone else in

i’m howling
have you ever touched my face, when life blows on my skin
howling
have you ever touched my face, heaven let someone else in

i’m howling
howling
i’m howling

Hear me out
Hear me out
Hear me

I am the voice, that you can hear, when you’re alone
I have wondered where this wanderer was going
Day and night and night and day, I followed you around
To the shadows of this solitary man I was bound

I’ve seen your pain
When you refused to eat
Stick with me and kings you will let bleed

I’ll let you shine
You’ll be seen in the night sky
If you just give in to me
All your desires
Oh I will feed
All this power I will give
I will give it to thee

The greatest of all masters I will make you
Over man and over beast you will rule
And all your enemies I will put to your knees
They are the blind and they will follow the one who sees

I’ve seen your pain
When you refused to eat
Stick with me and kings you will let bleed

I’ll let you shine
You’ll be seen in the night sky
If you just give in to me
All your desires
Oh I will feed
All this power I will give
I will give it to thee

I’ve seen your pain
When you refused to eat
Stick with me and kings you will let bleed

I’ll let you shine
You’ll be seen in the night sky
If you just give in to me
All your desires
Oh I will feed
All this power I will give
I will give it to thee

SLEARS - Hope (Official Music Video 4K) 2024

Metalapolis Records 2024-11-07 | We all need HOPE. SLEARS lights a spark in the dark. HOPE is the third single of their third album THE CHAOS WITHIN. HOPE is their ode to never giving up and always getting up when life throws you a curveball! The Bavarian rock sensation SLEARS is back with a bang! For almost two decades the band from beautiful Schliersee have been pleasing their fans with a perfect combination of heaviness, big melodies and a light progressive touch.The new album THE CHAOS WITHIN demonstrates impressively that modern rock from Bavaria can sound at least as consistent, powerful and full of tension as the albums of style-defining American bands. With razor-sharp guitar riffs, groove-driven drums and anthemic vocals, the band forms a powerhouse that inevitably cuts its way into your ear canals.

HOPE
(Music & lyrics: Tom Käser)

See my generation
We are lost in lies
We are walking through fire
With tears in our eyes
See my generation
A state of suicide
There´s still hope inside

We´ve run out of love
But always wide awake
Come on - let´s step outside
We´ll find another way
A better life, a better life
There´s still hope inside

Hold on, hold on
I heard a voice inside
Hold on, hold on
A window opened wide

Don´t give up
I don´t give in
We´re not lost
One for all
And we hope someday (someday)
The rain will stop to fall

Hope in the face of uncertainty

See my generation
We all stand in flames
And we´re flying high
And yelling our names
See my generation
A state of suicide
There is still hope inside

We are hidden heroes
And won´t get televised
All the roads untravelled
We´ll find another way
Another world, another world
There´s still hope inside

Hold on, hold on
I heard a voice inside
Hold on, hold on
A window opened wide

Don´t give up
I don´t give in
We´re not lost
One for all
And we hope someday (someday)
The rain will stop to fall

Hold on, hold on
I heard a voice inside
Hold on, hold on
A window opened wide

Don´t give up
I don´t give in
We´re not lost
One for all
And we hope someday
The rain will stop to fall (stop to fall)

Don´t give up
I don´t give in
We´re not lost
One for all
And we hope someday (someday)
The rain will stop to fall
Stop to fall

THE EYE OF THE STORM
(Music: Frank Noras / lyrics: Andreas von Lipinski)

In the heart of chaos
Where tempests collide
Beneath the shadowed clouds
Where fears reside

An eye of the storm
A glimpse into the night
Where wars unfold
And souls take flight

Racism's lightning
Striking without remorse
Igniting the skies
With a divisive force

In the eye, the eye of the storm
in the eye, the eye of the storm

Hate echoes loudly
A thunderous roar
As storms of prejudice
Upon us pour

In the eye of the storm

In the eye of the storm
Where violence spins
A cyclone of anguish
Where despair begins

The whirlwind of discord
Tearing seams apart
A symphony of strife
A ffragmented heart

Racism's lightning
Striking without remorse
Igniting the skies
With a divisive force

In the eye, the eye of the storm
In the eye, the eye of the storm

Hate echoes loudly
A thunderous roar
As storms of prejudice
Upon us pour

In the eye of the storm

In the eye of the storm
May empathy rise
A beacon of hope
Beneath tumultuous skies

For in unity we find
Strength to transform
A world reborn
From the eye of the storm

Racism's lightning
Striking without remorse
Igniting the skies
With a divisive force

In the eye, the eye of the storm
In the eye, the eye of the storm

Hate echoes loudly
A thunderous roar
As storms of prejudice
Upon us pour

In the eye of the storm

SURVIVOR
(Music & lyrics: DEFENDER)

In the last world, so desolate and wild
There stands the survivor, lost like a child
Death's embrace, I thought it was the end
Now I'm back on earth, where do I transcend

Am I in heaven or am I in hell
Or do I just wander this world
Darkness swallowed me, now I'm back to fight
Wondering if I'll survive, through the endless night

Survivor, caught in a twisted game
Survivor
Ghosts of the past, they're haunting me

The earth bears a scar, so deep and so cold
As my broken soul, in this story unfolds
Day by day, I struggle to find my way
Through this grim reality, where I must stay

Survivor, caught in a twisted game
Survivor
Ghosts of the past, they're haunting me

Twilight descends, the choice is mine to make
Between good and evil, which path shall I take
The battle continues, I won't yield or flee
Till I know if I'm in heaven or in hell's company

Survivor, caught in a twisted game
Survivor

Survivor, caught in a twisted game
Survivor

Survivor
Survivor

THE SNAKE
(Music & lyrics: Lukas Remus, Christopher Blankenaufulland, Lukas Famula, Sebastian Kanczok, Paul Reil)

Our Lord asked us to stay awake and watch in the night
As the first among us, this was not a sacrifice
The moment my vigil began, I was flooded with fatigue
Not one hour we could endure and were struck down by sleep

In the dead of night, the enemies invade
God, I

I know I should strike
I know it is time
Cowardly and gutless are the henchmen of the strong
I get myself to slash with sword in my hand
A strike, which did struck but remained without effect

The snake, it rises from the grass, a harbinger of death
Its greedy eyes fix on its prey as it shoots out its head
Flesh meets flesh and the sentence has been passed
It seems that evil has triumphed at last

In the dead of night, the enemies invade
God, I

I know I should strike
I know it is time
Cowardly and gutless are the henchmen of the strong
And now I must strike
It’s true, it is time
Loathsome and pathetic are the servants of the spoilt
The blade encounters flesh while hope is being smashed
But my adversary’s blood will flow from his face

SLEARS - First Ascent (Official Music Video 4k) 2024

Metalapolis Records 2024-10-17 | The second single FIRST ASCENT is the next proof for SLEARS‘ razor-sharp guitar riffs, groove-driven drums and anthemic vocals which form a powerhouse that inevitably cuts its way into your ear canals. The Bavarian rock sensation SLEARS is back with a bang! For almost two decades the band from beautiful Schliersee have been pleasing their fans with a perfect combination of heaviness, big melodies and a light progressive touch. Their upcoming third album THE CHAOS WITHIN demonstrates impressively that modern rock from Bavaria can sound at least as consistent, powerful and full of tension as the albums of style-defining American bands. THE CHAOS WITHIN was released November 29th!

FIRST ASCENT
(Music & lyrics: Tom Käser)

In the highlands and the heartache (heartache)
Movin' faster, moving further
Going slower than before (before)
And the river´s flowing by our side

We´re so far of reaching it (reaching it)
Breaking ground and doin' it (doin’ it)
Breaking ground and doin' it (doin’ it)
We won´t stop searching
And stop at nothing

We are passengers
Climbing high and reaching wide
We are travellers
On our way towards the light
We are passengers (passengers)
We are travellers (travellers)

(Echoes)
All the echoes of our past (echoes)
Are high like a mountain
All the whispers of what may come
And the river´s flowing by our side

We´re so far of reaching it (reaching it)
Breaking ground and doin' it (doin’ it)
Breaking ground and doin' it (doin’ it)
We won´t stop searching
And stop at nothing

We are passengers
Climbing high and reaching wide
We are travellers
On our way towards the light
We are passengers (passengers)
We are travellers (travellers)

We are utopians
Climbing high but reaching low
We are passengers
What comes up must fall down
(What comes up must fall down)

We are passengers
Climbing high and reaching wide
We are travellers
On our way towards the light
We are passengers
Climbing high and reaching wide
We are travellers
On our way towards the light

We are passengers (passengers)
We are travellers (travellers)
We are passengers (passengers)
We are travellers (travellers)

BAD DREAM
(Music & lyrics: Manuel Heller)
It's holding on through every season
And I just tried to find a reason
Why won't you come around to see me
Oh I just really want you near me – hey!

I would never mean to hurt you
But would it make it hard to get to
you, if I tell it by this song boy
Can I make you my precious pearl

I got a bad dream baby
You and I both said it
Standing in our love

I’m such a bad boy baby
Tell me when you're ready
Touch me with your love

He's got a nasty reputation
It doesn't matter the location
I want to touch it with sensation
But he's just playing with intention

He calls me sweet, and wants it sleazy
How can he handle me so easy
Come hold me close, I keep on running
To you my boy oh you're so stunning

I got a bad dream baby
You and I both said it
Standing in our love

I’m such a bad girl baby
Tell me when you're ready
Touch me with your love

If you - would give me a chance
To prove you once again
I'm the one
You're searching for
Would it feel so intense

Here we are baby
We'll make it good
We'll make it nasty

I got a bad dream baby
You and I both said it
Standing in our love

Im such a bad boy baby
Tell me when you're ready
Touch me with your love

I got a bad dream baby
You and I both said it
Standing in our love
(Baby)
Im such a bad boy baby
Tell me when you're ready
Touch me with your love

THE DEVIL’S MASQUERADE
(Music: Michael Benk, Christian Pirch, Nicolaj Ruhnow / lyrics: Nicolaj Ruhnow)

Like a carnival, refined and bright
Wealth shines in garments, a vivid light

No admission for free
Vend your soul unto me

Dance for your sins - a vivid place where we are living in
Reality shows - power survives; by dancing on and on
Dance for your sins - a vivid place where we are living in
Reality shows - will we survive by dancing on and on

In spectral light, sins intertwine
Twisting through the night so divine
Atrocity lingers, twists persist
Excess stirs the devil's mist

No admission for free
Vend your soul unto me

Dance for your sins - a vivid place where we are living in
Reality shows - power survives; by dancing on and on
Dance for your sins - a vivid place where we are living in
Reality shows - will we survive by dancing on and on

Lust waltzes in shadows, masks conceal
A dance of senses, a trance, surreal

Greed shimmers, stories unfold
In a bold dance, tales of old
Wrapped in luxury, tangled in lust
Hearts combust in a sinful trust

No admission for free
Vend your soul unto me

Dance for your sins - a vivid place where we are living in
Reality shows - power survives; by dancing on and on
Dance for your sins - a vivid place where we are living in
Reality shows - will we survive by dancing on and on

PARTICLES
(Music & lyrics: Tom Käser)

You and I
We were growing piece by piece
You and I
I wanted to be alive

It´s a part of me, losing gravity
Purple skies with a million stars

Kiss of time and we will be free
You are my pain and you are my everything

It´s a part of me, losing identity
Purple skies with a million stars

We've seen it all and ignored the signs
I will be here – even when the lights go down
And I am singing

I don't wanna fight no more
We will burn, burn, burn
Like a supernova

This is time for letting go
We will be light light light
A billion particles

You and I
Chasing every particle
You and I
Gonna fight an endless fight

It´s a part of me, losing identity
Purple skies with a million stars

We've seen it all and ignored the signs (the signs)
I will be here – even when the lights go down
And I am singing

I don't wanna fight no more
We will burn, burn, burn
Like a supernova

This is time for letting go
We will be light light light
A billion particles

I'm waiting for your last goodbye
I'm not over it
We only built-up castles in the sky
I'm not over it
I'm waiting for your last goodbye
I'm not over it

And I am singing

I don't wanna fight no more
We will burn, burn, burn
Like a supernova

This is time for letting go
We will be light light light
A billion particles

I don't wanna fight no more (no more)
We will burn, burn, burn
Like a supernova

This is time for letting go (let it go)
We will be light light light
A billion particles

ANGELINA (TALK TO ME)
(Music & lyrics: Manuel Heller)
Hunting numbers
Some too far away
Counting, thinking
You're too far from me

I can't see
You fooled me
It went too far
Way too far

(Angelina)
Can you hear that call
Would you turn back when I fall
(Angelina)
Can you hear that call
The call of your life

Talk to me
(I can hear you in the night)
(I can see you in my dreams)
Come on over here and talk to me
(I can hear you in the night)
(I can see you in my dreams)
Come on over here and talk

Here we are
We tried so far

Now Im here, standing
Now Im here, waiting

For some love
I've had enough

It went too far
Way too far

(Angelina)
Can you hear that call
Would you turn back when I fall
(Angelina)
Can you hear that call
The call of your life

Talk to me
(I can hear you in the night)
(I can see you in my dreams)
Come on over here and talk to me
(I can hear you in the night)
(I can see you in my dreams)
Come on over here and talk

(Na na - Na na na)

(Na na - na na na)
(Na na - na na)

Hold me close, holdin’ me tight

Are you here

Talk to me
(I can hear you in the night)
(I can see you in my dreams)
Come on over here and talk to me
(I can hear you in the night)
(I can see you in my dreams)
Come on over here and talk
