Beneath the Banner
5 videos • 79 views • by West Coast AI "Beneath the Banner" is a powerful EP that chronicles a soldier’s journey through war, from youthful zeal to weary resignation. Spanning five songs, each track captures a distinct stage of his transformation: from a spirited, idealistic recruit eager to fight, to a hardened veteran bearing the scars of endless battles. As he faces the relentless toll of conflict, his initial sense of honor and purpose fades, leaving behind a man haunted by memories, regrets, and the weight of lives lost. With genres evolving from folk rock to gothic-tinged progressive power metal, Beneath the Banner weaves a story of courage, disillusionment, and reflective acceptance, ending in a melancholic farewell to the dreams of his youth.
