Proletarian Poetry – To the End

"To the End" – machine sounds meet martial intensity

With "To the End", Proletarian Poetry deliv­ers a track that delves deep into the indus­tri­al past of synth-pop. The cool, mech­an­ic­al sound­scape is remin­is­cent of Depeche Mode's early works, espe­cially from the "Construction Time Again" and "Some Great Reward" peri­ods. It's a nos­tal­gic exper­i­ence that will imme­di­ately appeal to fans of that era. Still, the song is more on the B‑side side of things – sol­id, but without the big hit appeal. But that's a high-level com­par­is­on, after all, we're talk­ing about the legend that is Depeche Mode.

The lyr­ics paint a dark pic­ture of war, power and destruc­tion. With lines like "Fight to the end!" and "Bomb for profits!" the track cre­ates a threat­en­ing, war­like mood that blends seam­lessly into the cool, indus­tri­al sound­scape. Some might miss a stronger melody here, but the machine-like beats and dark atmo­sphere offer a fas­cin­at­ing trip for lov­ers of the genre.

On a con­struct­ive note, a more catchy sound could do the song good. If Proletarian Poetry man­ages to com­bine these cool machine sounds with a little more ear­worm poten­tial, the next track could stir up the scene even more.

Lyrics of "Proletarian Poetry – To the End"

We look north, wait­ing for the right moment
Well, he looks weak, weak­er than before
We advance our pos­i­tions, encircle, intimidate,
only aim­ing for what’s right­fully ours – we think!

Let’s move forward!
Push them back!

What’s hap­pen­ing in the south? we see trouble coming,
time to act, time to stop them
Do they think we are weak? No, no, no,
we are strong and ready to advance, to strike first

Let’s sur­prise them!
Fight until victory!

Innocents dead, cit­ies in ruins, on both sides
To what use?
While most of us are losers, there are always some who profit from
war and destruction

Bomb for profits!
Kill for power!
Fight to the end!
Fight to the end!
