The Horror of Stalingrad.
As temperatures dropped to minus 30 degrees Centigrade the German bread ration, already as low as 100 grammes a day was reduced to just 50. The starving German soldiers were forced to slaughter their horses, and later to eat their beloved dogs, then later still, to dig up their frozen carcasses to eat the bones. Other Germans in the city, who...

Startled by the ferocity of the defenders, and the technological advancements of the formidable T-34 tank; many of Germany's top commanders had recommended pulling back, regrouping. Hitler would have none of it.

Welcome to a world of hate
Your life of buried dreams
Smothered by the soils of fate
Welcome, to a world of pain
Bitterness your only wealth
The sands of time kicked in your face
Rubbed in your face...
When aspirations are squashed
When life's chances are lost
When all hope is gone
When expectations are quashed
When self esteem is lost
When ambition is...

EMPATHOLOGICAL NECROTICISM (CARCASS) Lyrics by: jeff walker*
-----------------------------------------------
Bloodied, torn and twisted
Severe mutilation is all that remains
Stagnating in shrink-wrap
Empty the contents onto the mortuary slab...
The morbid, muted body
Is dissected, lacerated and shred -
Life is hard as a mortuary technician
The fumes go straight to my head...
The trunk now depleting gristle, with bactericidal decay
This discissed disarticulation I bludgeon...

St. Valentines Day -101
There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's...
