The Eastern Front of World War II was a theatre of World War II between the European Axis powers and co-belligerent Finland against the Soviet Union, Poland, and some other Allies which encompassed Northern, Southern and Eastern Europe from 22 June 1941 to 9 May 1945. It was known by many different names depending on the nation, notably the Great Patriotic War (Russian: Великая Отечественная Война) in the former Soviet Union, while known in Germany as the Eastern Front (German: die Ostfront), the Eastern Campaign (German: der Ostfeldzug) or the Russian Campaign (German: der Rußlandfeldzug).

The battles on the Eastern Front constituted the largest military confrontation in history. They were characterized by unprecedented ferocity, wholesale destruction, mass deportations, and immense loss of life variously due to combat, starvation, exposure, disease, and massacres. The Eastern Front, as the site of nearly all extermination camps, death marches, ghettos, and the majority of pogroms, was central to the Holocaust. Of the estimated 70 million deaths attributed to World War II, over 30 million, many of them civilians, died on the Eastern Front. The Eastern Front was decisive in determining the outcome of World War II, eventually serving as the main reason for Germany's defeat. It resulted in the destruction of the Third Reich, the partition of Germany for nearly half a century and the rise of the Soviet Union as a military and industrial superpower.

The Artillery is a post-hardcore band that formed in Round Rock, Texas in 2000 management is SE Records.

The Artillery is a four-piece band formed out of Round Rock, Texas. They have been together since 2000, and have been playing shows regionally since 2002, and nationally since 2006. Hailing from a suburb of the largest music scene in Texas, Chris Ellis, a swagger-savvy drummer, and Jonathan Macias, a natural born rocker, were urged to start a rock band. After trying out a few unfitting candidates, they came across a talented voice that went by the name of Dean Danger. Chris Reyes, another local artist, had proven himself to be the missing link that would bring The Artillery to their full potential.

Now that they were fully staffed, they began to write songs that combined energetic guitar leads with catchy vocals. The Artillery recorded their first E.P. entitled 'Fear Is In' with producer Paul Soroski, and released it on June 24, 2007. Throughout 'Fear is In' there’s a reoccurring theme of determination, strength through struggle, and an unwavering will to overcome all obstacles. The E.P. serves as a solid introduction to a band destined for bigger things. After their release they toured regionally, and have since made a name for themselves around the Lone Star State.
