about

The topic of arms trade and arms
export as well as the novel
"Extinction" by Kazuaki Takano,
which in one chapter very
authentically describes the life of
a child soldier, were the impulses
for Forged for Death. Both topics
are directly related, because time
and again German assault rifles end
up in the hands of children who
have been forcibly recruited.
According to estimates, around a
quarter of a million minors are
fighting in the world's conflicts.
The cruel reality of their lives
often remains incomprehensible, yet
it is just as real as ours.

lyrics

manufactured and sold to regions of loss.
thy destiny is to bring siege and death by hellfire.

cold arms appear, bodies get riddled by hot steel.
mothers cry, in blood they kneel.
when last survivors escape crippled and deformed,
the young sing an ode to gore.

handed with pride to hands of a child.
imposing the will.
parents plead before they´re killed.

it is the endless feeding
to war´s maelstrom of death.
enriched lords of the morbid.
blood is spilled in their name.

quality product, forged of steel,
easy to use, even by hands of a child.
black cold instrument, murderous steel,
carnage worldwide, gets you even if you hide.

death bringing steel in tiny hands,
tearing your flesh,
your bones and soul - by forged death.

about

Wound Germany

The Wiesbaden (Hessen/Germany) based band WOUND formed in 2011. Even if almost all styles of extreme music can be named as influences, the band feels part of the death metal scene. Over the 10 years of band history the songs have become more complex and melodic, however, the roots have not been lost. The lyrics are mostly treatises from real life and its abysses. ... more

Seven Crowns and Seven Seals
by Sulphur Aeon

supported by 47 fans who also own “Forged For Death”

Blistering blackened death metal with haunting melody lines throughout. The melody never overcomes but rather gives hypnotizing testimony to the churning rhythms threatening to pull the listener below the waves. This is music by which to summon the Great Old Ones. Robert Royer

Lightly deathified dad rock - each song offers something different to the table. The Blue Öyster Cult energy is strong, the vocals charming, and the guitars absolutely enchanting! baguettalus

Masterful use of acoustic passages and synth stuff. This is definitely my favorite black metal-dungeon synth kinda album I've found recently. Each track flows into the next so well, I cannot recommend it enough. Perri

Personally, a small step down from what I like most about SA's world/music, but it's still a fantastic album! crabjuice
