Hard to associate with World War I specificly by just listening the tracks. Maybe adding the images you mentioned they can take that sense.
Modern Life Stress was what came up to my head while listening the tracks. |

| I don't see it as World War One either, it's cool though. |

I listened to '1915', I was worried about using up your bandwidth so didn't get the other 2, they are big downloads!
The flanged sound at the start could go well with images of gas floating menacingly across the battlefield.
Then it goes into the 'ping-pong' thing which is maybe a little reminiscent of an attack siren.
The song then follows these lines for some time, as a backdrop to pictures this could be a good idea as changes in the music would not distract the viewer from the images.
After 9 minutes though I felt the need for more to go along with it, either images or a change in the music. I'm guessing this was intentional, to relate the unrelenting nature of war, an inability to escape. You have to stick it out (no offence) to see if things change.
At around 14 mins things do change, it speeds up a lot. Raining bombs?
I like the sounds in the last couple of minutes, random Moogy sounds. Then just a drone to end, no happy ending, just like war.
Just my thoughts, maybe not anything like you intended  |

| I see World War one as more a noise affair (if I was going to make a concept album), something like 25% Lightning Bolt, 75% Prurient, it would be an abrasive, highly textured and difficult to listen to record, but it would musically recreate some of the sounds of the First World War. |
