Hellboy's lost soundtrack

Apart from the little that I saw of Kroenen in the trailer back in December the other thing that really gripped me was the music. The music in those trailers was so symphonic and epic yet at the same time familiar. I usually have music on when I'm working at the computer so I decided to pop in Dimmu Burgir's Death Cult Armageddon. When I heard Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse.
I recognized it and flipped out. I techincally had the Hellboy soundtrack. The two songs on the trailers were Progenies and Eradication Instincts Defined. It's funny because I used to listen to these two songs and think they would fit right into the Medal of Honor games since they had the same type of majestic pieces. It always made me think of battles, tanks and WWII. It's great that it was also used for a partial WWII film. Now I think of Kroenen when I hear these pieces. I was upset though that they didn't have these in the movie and the actual soundtrack doesn't have the songs. I should have known it was too good to be true. America's still not read for true Metal and much less black metal like Dimmu. I wonder if they even got permission from Dimmu to use the songs. The fact that they were heard at all IS a breakthrough though. Dimmu Burgir is a symphonic black metal band that deals heavily with the occult so it really fits in perfectly with the Hellboy world. In the following pics I think you'll find subtle Hellboy, or rather Kroenen, references which makes me think that they did know that their music was used. Again just like with Ladislav Beran they go squat credit wise. I'm here to correct that wrong. I didn't even notice the music in the film so there's no need for me to buy the soundtrack. For me, I've had it all along and this is it. Oh and for those of you that want to know, the opera Kroenen was listening to is Wagner's Tristan und Isolde Act 2 the Lover's Duet.

Below you'll find pictures from the CD booklet along with the lyrics from Progenies and Eradication. I think Eradication is the best of the two songs musically. If any of you would like to hear these wonderful songs e-mail me and I can AIM them to you.


Here we see a rather familiar looking figure. He's on the cover of the CD booklet. The cover above is a single slip over loose leaf. The mask is like Kroenen's and the death all around is what would have happened if the Rag Norok Project had been successful.

 

 

 

 

 

This one even more so than above is like Kroenen. This looks a lot like the comic book art.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This pic made me think of the mad monk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted to show this pic because the helmet is very similar to a Waffen SS soldier's. Also the mechanics especially what looks like a retractable arm blade reminds us again of our favorite Nazi.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse

The battle raged on and on
Fuelled by the venom of hatred for man
Consistently, without the eyes to see
By those who revel in sewer equally

We, the prosperity of the future seal
Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind
Born to capture the essence of
The trails of our kind

Zero tolerance must be issued forth
Behind the enemy's line
So it shall be written
And so it shall be done

[repeat 1st and 2nd verse]

Discover and conceive the secret wealth
And pass it unto your breed
Become your own congregation
Measure the sovereignty of it's invigoration

We, who not deny the animal of our nature
We, who yearn to preserve our liberation
We, who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire
We, who aspire to the truth and pursue it's strength

Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare
Fearing all the mediocrity that they possess
Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might
Reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours

Consider the god we could be without the grace
Once and for all
Diminish the sub principle and leave it's toxic trace
Once and for all

Eradication Instincts Defined
As mortal manufactured waste
And part of the commonly infected
You prevent the ones worthy the gift of life
To surface on once a prosperous soil

As superficially bewildered whores
And succumbing to fictional truth
You are taught to preserve and profit
The life institutional lie

You worthless piece of shit
May we all depart from this world
And dissolve into nothingness
Compassion will not be granted
When life's value
Is point below zero

Human depravity is at our disposal
As the perfect tool to destroy mankind
The worst kind of them all
Modern times' ignorance, the world disease
Appeal to death of every man

A living hate smoldering abyss
Nurtured through centuries with quietly exercised wrath
Seeks the easiest way to the feed the engine
Praising the final bloodbath

Uncertainty and guilt
Will no longer endorse our fate
There will be no remorse, we kill to kill again
Killing all

Go ahead end it all, we deserve no better
As a forever unblessed detonation
The great plutonium chord fulminates
Blinding the eyes of creation

Cutting off all life support
Sweeping away existence instantly
Iced desolate ruins linger
Leaving traces of our lovely humanity
