Levrikon Jucifer give us another album about famous women in history, this time focusing on the young women who fought the Battle of Stalingrad against the Nazis in one of the bloodiest battles in history. Sound-wise, the album continues with a doomier rendition of the intense black metal of Throned in Blood, being as brutal as a Siberian winter. Favorite track: Боритесь, чтобы жить свободно :: FIGHT HARD LIVE FREE.

"The dead cannot be dishonored." --- Святослав Игоревич :: Svyatoslav I of Kiev The Land: Today the world shudders to hear my name, "Stalingrad". They fear what may be the outcome of this latest struggle on my front. But I was not always called so. Once, I was nameless. Knowing no boundaries, I made welcome all who tread. Within me flowed a rhythm of the grasses, the waters, the animals and the nomad tribes. Indo-European language was born of the same steppe womb which made me. Also were born armies, conquering in chariots drawn by oxen. To the north, the east, the west and the south, Scyths, Sarmatians and Hunns spread themselves from my confluence. I, crossroads. Near me a Queen of the Golden Horde made her palace. On my breast were nurtured Tatars. Their dead built homes in my soil, apartments of bones reaching into the sky. Enduring through centuries, Mamayev Kurgan stands grassy today. Watch tower. Proud. So in death Turkic warriors still serve. I, cemetery. Tatars named my neighbors: Sary-Su, the yellow river. Sary-Sin, the yellow island. But Tatars threatened Russia and inspired the building of a fortress on my yellow island. This fortress, Tsaritsyn, gave me my first name. And I became a gate; no one must pass me unless Russia willed it so. I, Tsaritsyn. I, Russian. Through flood, through fire I remained. In the struggles for possession I remained. Under Cossacks, Tatars, and Russians I remained. Through Civil War I remained. Names shadow my streets. Ivan, Peter, Pugachev, Razin, Bulavin, Stalin. Tsars, Whites, Reds, Soviets. As my buildings and population grew so did my usefulness. A hub of industry and trade, for the Revolution I was a mighty prize. After the Reds won me I received the Order of the Red Banner. In honor of the Red leader Stalin, I am now known as Stalingrad. I, Stalingrad. I, Russian. I, soldier. When the Great Patriotic War began my factories were turned to the making of armaments. And now the eye of the German fascist is turned to my possession. A wealth of land and water stretch forth from me, tempting all men with the powers of conquest and trade. My yellow river carries Russia's lifeblood. To claim me is to claim these powers. I, crossroads. I, gate. It is August 22, 1942. Tomorrow the bombing begins. I am Russian. I am soldier. I am ready.

Child: Are the enemy approaching? The Land: Yes, child. Today, August 22nd 1942, they will begin their attack. Child: Will we survive? The Land: As peoples who have occupied me did before, you will defend me. And I will defend the fathers, the mothers, and you children. I too am Russian. I belong to you now. Together, we will rise against this enemy. My soil will drink Nazi blood. We will show no mercy to the invader. Together as a land and as a people we shall fight to the last to destroy this infection. They may do what they will, but our opposition will not falter. We shall stand together. Not one step back. Not one step back!

THEY COME AS WATER THAT SOAKS THROUGH SILENTLY A GLEAM AMONG THE BRANCHES A SUNDERED TREE WHERE ONCE WAS NARROW A FLOOD PLAIN SWOLLEN WIDE WHERE STEALTH AVENGES GREED, THE SLOW RED TIDE LIES GATHER LIKE FLIES LIGHT EYES TRAINED ON THEIR PRIZE WHITE LIES WHERE THE BLOOD DRIES WHITE LIES GATHER LIKE FLIES A SYSTEM BROKEN BY MASS INSANITY A CRAZED RESOLVE FOR TOTAL SUPREMACY SUCH BLIGHTED WISDOM ROOTED IN SOPHISTRY FROM HEARTS IN DARKNESS CRIES A BOUNDLESS NEED LIVES SQUANDERED UNPRIZED BRIGHT EYES DARKENED INSIDE WHITE LIES GATHER LIKE FLIES WHITE LIES WHERE THE BLOOD DRIES The Land: My winter is coming to steal fingers. Noses. Feet. Lives. As my snow falls it buries the dead. My citizens, and yours, huddle together in terrible conflict. The milk of war is blood. The meat of war is loss. For the stomach there is no milk, no meat. Hunger burns like fire, presses like the heaviest stone. You invaders have come to bring siege but the siege is upon you as well. The shadow of death respects no insignia. But my people will not fail.

Когда в садах цвела сирень, Окончилась война, И наступил победный день И мирная весна. Салютом праздничным весна Вернулась в город наш. О том, что кончилась война, Играл победный марш.

It is now 2013. The scars from my battles of old have almost faded. Great memorials have been placed on my hills recalling the days when I was fought for. In 1961 my name was changed once more. I am called 'Volgograd' after the river that brought so many to my shores. Some of my citizens miss the old name, 'Stalingrad', for it is the name their grandfathers, grandmothers and parents fought for. Some miss the communist government and the standards that were set by the old regime. Others are happy with new freedoms allowed under the Russia of this modern age. Whether rich or poor, progressive or traditional they are still my people. Through their daily struggles and successes, I rest. For now I may sleep in the sunshine. But I am vigilant. I am ready always to strike should the next invader threaten my children. Not one step back! I, soldier. I, mother. I, Russian. I, Volgograd: I am content.
