[edit] Writing

Five songs from these album sessions were written by Zakk for Ozzy's album Down To Earth. Ozzy rejected the songs because they were "too Black Label", so Zakk kept them for this album. The songs were "Bleed For Me", "Life/Birth/Blood/Doom", "Demise Of Sanity", an alternate piano version of "Bridge To Cross" and a demo presumably called "I'll Find The Way". The latter two were never released. These original demo songs featured drummer Christian Werr, a friend of Zakk's who happened to be in the right place at the right time to record the tracks. Later on, when Zakk went to re-record these demos for 1919 Eternal, Christian's drum tracks were used for Bleed For Me, Life/Birth/Blood/Doom, and Demise Of Sanity, which is why Craig Nunenmacher does not appear on these songs.

[edit] Title

The original title for 1919 Eternal was "Deathcore WarMachine Eternal". Zakk decided to change it because of the events on September 11th.

[edit] Artwork

The album artwork is based on a Nazi propaganda poster used to recruit Dutchmen into the Schutzstaffel (SS).
