Bloody Road to Kharkov Lyrics:
Forward Grenadiers into the storm
From this baptism of fire you were born
Your bravery exceeds boundaries so unknown
Your wounds so deep, down to the bone
Damn this soil, so thirsty for blood
So many souls lay fallen in this deadly mud
Yet we trudge on, our homes to our back
For the heartbeat of Europe our waves attack
Attack
Attack
Bloody road to Kharkov, so grim and so gray
Will we live to fight, yet another day?
The shells of armor lay rusted in the plains
The soil of this frozen hell will forever remain stained
Keep pushing onward, despite the pain
Amidst the thunder, and shells falling like rain
Objective given, no rest till it’s complete
We will hand Stalin the hand of defeat
Defeat
Defeat
Bloody road to Kharkov, so grim and so gray
Will we live to fight, yet another day?
The shells of armor lay rusted in the plains
The soil of this frozen hell will forever remain stained

Unfortunately, most of the songs that my father has been in have been repeatedly deleted on YouTube for some unknown reason, so I will be the one to set them in stone for good.
my father, Kris, served as the guitarist for the metal band: West Wall. West Wall was my father’s third commitment to an official band (first was a band named Convulsus, and second came Ossuary Insane).
American death/war metal band formed in 2005 as a side project by members from Dominion USA, Ossuary Insane, and Convulsus USA. The first recording was titled ‘Blitzkrieg Symphony #1’. The album was themed by the battles of WWII and focused on the German aspect of the war and its heroes.
The band became a working, touring band in 2007 after original drummer Mike was replaced by Steve Martin (Defile USA). It was with this new line up where potential was found for the band to reach new heights both in stability and musical composition. 2008 saw the release of ‘Conquest or Death’. This album is heralded as being along the lines of Amon Amarth, Destroyer666 and highly reminiscent of Bolt Thrower and the like.
‘Conquest or Death’ remains true to the bands battle themed approach to song topics while also expanding to include other historic and epic battles. The album makes its focus more upon vicious and costly battles that range from the battle of the Teutoburg Forest to the battlefields of Vietnam and the struggles, horrors, fears, and victories of those who were involved in them. ‘Conquest or Death’ remains their most powerful release to date.
West Wall has Played in Europe as well as all over the USA.
