    Forward To The Past is the new 12" EP from Berlin's extravagant Dark Punk quartet Totenwald. The follow-up to their debut album "Dirty Squats And Disco Lights," the 4 songs - self-recorded in May 2019 - come on transparent pink vinyl with lyrics sheet in an edition of 500 copies as a co-release between Plastic Bomb Records in Germany, and the band.

    Originally only available as a limited cassette during their West Coast US Tour in September 2019, the title of the EP is a sarcastic reference to the current 80s revival, which comes not only with fashion and music styles but also with the return of Cold War-era politics. The songs themselves are political and discerning, yet comprehensible and straight to the point.

    "Forward To The Past" is a complex mosaic celebrating the aesthetics and style of the past while not being doomed to repeat them, rounded off with perfectly fitting artwork. Top-class neo-post-punk!

lyrics

Do you hear that old military beat
They're marching through your neighbour hood
They're marching down your street

Do you hear that old nationalist song
How once this country
Was united great and strong

They're standing in the corner ready for the fight
Looking for someone who doesn't look quite right
They're smashing up your windows
They're burning down your houses
It cannot happen here
It cannot happen now
Kristallnacht

Remember politicians shaking their hands
Talking about democracy and human rights
When all they ever want is to rule

Millions of people are forced to leave their homes
The cities are burned down to the ground
Do you see the connection, do you understand

And we're dancing to the same old beat as the history repeats
