| 1. Dawn Of The Dead
[S.Gebйdi]
Rise, corpses rise...Doomsday has arrived
Hell's gates are opened wide...so rise
The earth is trembling, graves are opening, the undead are set free
Mass rebirth, mass resurrection, no way you can escape them
No more room left in hell, they're doomed to w |

Не Pestilence едиными жива дэт-метальная слава Нидерландского королевства. Были на земле голландской витязи и постарше. Постарше да порезвее: без разминки и вступлений Thanatos бьют по ушам слушателя живой и непосредственной музыкой, грузящие потуги современников напоминающей менее всего. Нет – бластбитам и груву, нет - асфиксично скачущей с риффа на рифф ритм-секции а-ля Pestilence, думовому загрузу, что проповедовали земляки Asphyx и Delirium. Да – пружинистому и заводному трэшу, обросшему на «Emerging from the Netherworlds» отрывисто и тяжело стучащими ударными да харкающим, но чрезмерно выразительным вокалом. Задуматься на альбоме особенно не о чем: знай себе наслаждайся лихо накрученными и динамичными запилами гитаристов, без стыков соединенными один с другим; с ветерком несись меж редких среднетемповых пробежек по едва ли не рок-н-ролльным скоростным участкам. Дэт-н-роллом тут, конечно, и не пахнет, но слишком уж задорно сработаны риффы, будто начиненные головотрясным импульсом.
Вроде бы простой, но отнюдь не примитивный, удивляющий обилием мелодичных соло-партий, Thanatos, несмотря на его скрежещуще-звенящий звук, наверняка куда легче будет усвоен поклонниками «волосатых» спид-метальных работ, чем заматеревшими и обросшими жирком дэтстерами. Да такой и он сам – сухожильный и динамичный, без проблем бы забравший все титулы в забеге на звание самого лаконичного и живого (пусть не лучшего, не буду душой кривить) альбома из «брутала» начала 90-х.
В общем, блэкушник ли, али брутал-дэтстер, смывай палитру с лица, бросай в корзину брутальный «макдональдс», возвращайся к истокам, к вкусной и здоровой пище. Изюминка «Emerging from the Netherworlds», думается, в его абсолютной доступности для каждого… |

Чего можно ожидать от голландской формации, выпустившей свой дебютный альбом в 90-м? Конечно же вариации на тему индивидуального обрамления death metal, имеющего склонность к прямолинейному трэшевому галопированию. Тем не менее, перед нами именно голландский подход, потому что нет как шведских, так и флоридских влияний. В данном случае пристало вести речь о своеобразной ужесточённой трактовке немецкого трэша. Такой план подачи сближает наших подопечных с французской школой жанра. Звук на альбоме достаточно чёткий (без излишнего жира), что увеличивает процент людей способных получить сквозное понимание. Приёмы ритм-секции стары как мир, но без злоупотреблений ровной полечкой. Разнообразие достигается умелым агрегированием смен темпа, когда косолапая угрюмость сменяется пришпориванием динамики. Гитары работают по простой, но не раз зарекомендовавшей себя схеме - тремольные завихрения с выходом на медленные интервалы, либо на короткое атональное соло. Именно гитары ответственны за создание тягучего олдового характера записи. Вокал - иступлённый прото-гроул с истеричными нотками. Лонгплей оставляет целостное впечатление, потому что за время звучания Вы наверняка успеете насытиться манерой и духом первородного thrash/death. А насчёт конкретных аналогий, то это Sodom и Messiah среднего периода. |

Satan's legions march to war......to kill
You cannot run, you cannot hide
You can't escape, you're bound to die
In search of brains and flesh, they hunt the living down
Like a blowjob-hungry bitch they suck you inside out
[SOLO: ERWIN]
Satan's masterplan prevails; world domination, reign of fear
Kill the living, kill them all, Kill God's creatures one by one
As the undead walk the earth, world downfall is close at hand
God retreats, this battle is lost, Satan rules supreme
Will God strike back, and turn the night to day
Or will eternal dark be earth's perpetual fate?
2. Outward Of The Inward
[S.Gebйdi]
Creeping inside you, into your blackened soul....
I hear the maggots marching
Your end is near, all your emotions gone
but there's no rationality either
You're not worthy to live on any longer,
I demand your death, cause I know what's inside of you
I leave you the choice, how you will end your life
Suicide it is the only way, to free yourself from inner fear
Outward of the Inward, Outward of Evil
[SOLO:ERWIN]
[SOLO:STEPHAN]
3. Bodily Dismemberment
[E.De Brouwer/S.Gebйdi]
Foetus full of hate, hatred in his brain, Termination on his mind
Destroying the inwards of his mother, eating his way out of the womb
Final stage of bodily dismemberment,
Giving birth to the ultimate in malevolence
Unleashing all the Evil from the Netherworlds,
to feast upon the flesh of every living soul
Tearing out your lungs and feasting on your flesh,
plugging out your eyes and penetrating your chest
Leaving you bleed to death all by yourself,
continuing his search for victims to the death
[SOLO: ERWIN]
He is the brood of our violent society
The incarnation of the Evil that lives in our minds
All earthly abuses have led to his birth,
The final stage of turning our world into Hell.....
4. Internal Deceit
[S.Gebйdi]
As I look into the mirror of life
I see someone else who just looks like me....
His face resembles mine exact:
But his eyes stare in a void
[SOLO: ERWIN]
He forces me to approach the glass
To join life on the other side
But I won't conform to your society
We're not interchangeable, we're not the same
[SOLO: STEPHAN]
[SOLO: ERWIN]
5. The Day Before Tommorow
[S.Gebйdi]
As I look into the mirror of life
I see someone else who just looks like me....
His face resembles mine exact:
But his eyes stare in a void
[SOLO: ERWIN]
He forces me to approach the glass
To join life on the other side
But I won't conform to your society
We're not interchangeable, we're not the same
[SOLO: STEPHAN]
[SOLO: ERWIN]
6. War
[S.Gebйdi]
Sent out to fight for my country
Sent out to kill not to reason why
My country is at war with yours
Because of that I'll kill
Our governments did not agree,
So they decided to break the peace
Calling out a state of war
Commanding us to fight at the front
Bodies lie all around... See them rotting, smell the stench
Napalm descends from the skies
Causing autopsy whilst being alive
Peeling the skin from my face
Burning my flesh, eroding my bones
Maggots crawling out of my eyes
Eating my eyeballs but I'm still alive
[SOLO: ERWIN]
As I lie here rotting, waiting for my death,
Spilling forth thick streams of blood and pus,
I wonder what the fuck have I been fighting for....
Dying after being used like a whore....
War ; stupidity beyond imagination
Death; the result of this monstrous creation
[SOLO: ERWIN]
[SOLO: STEPHAN]
[SOLO: ERWIN]
7. Rebirth
[S.Gebйdi]
Born again, Second attempt
Obsessed by Hatred; "Destroy the Jewish Race"
[SOLO: ERWIN]
1940-45: the years he swept the earth Hitler and his Nazi-scum,
Harbingers of death His body died in '45 but his soul will never rest;
His evil thoughts still live on in many sickened minds
May he never live again in one or another form,
His disgusting views are something we all can do without,
But modern-day-tyrants are following his steps,
Fascists, communists, Violent scum, we all demand your death
He'll live again, in a megalomaniac's brain
Preparing destruction, he'll strike again........
8. Progressive Destructor
[S.Gebйdi/A.Scherpenberg]
In the name of Allah, they kill each other
The Ayatollah is their god, in Hell his soul shall rot
Progressive Destructor
Progressive Destructor
Women living in fear, their faces may not be seen
But between their legs he is pleased, and spills his unholy seed
Progressive Destructor
Progressive Destructor
Unholy sacrifice, senseless minds finds their way to death
A new Fьhrer has risen, a new nightmare has begun
[SOLO:ERWIN]
Soldiers of Allah, blind obedience till the end
Mass destruction for faith Dripping with blood, burning in flames
[SOLO:ERWIN]
Secrets of pleasure locked up in the book
Fall to your knees for the Ayatollah's commands
Live by the lies of your lord Your lord who was aborted from the bitches womb...
9. Impostors' Infiltration
[S.Gebйdi/M.Staffhorst/A.Scherpenberg]
Polluting our minds with their wicked lies
From the day you are born till the day you die
Intimidation, internal deceit Indoctrination, ignore what they preach
Are you sure they can't be wrong
Gods, masters, leaders, the so-called chosen ones
[SOLO:ERWIN]
Infiltration of the damned: rotting away standards of life
They live by violence, torment and pain, wasting our money, destroying our lives
No civilisation , it's only deceit;
Under the cloak of a successful businessman you'll find a cruel monster,
Only fools worship him,
He's the vomit of his mother's womb, consideration, death and deceit
Impostors'Infiltration-poison of life
Impostors'Infiltration-for power you strive
Once you're involved you never escape from the grip of the syndicate
It's too late, next time it will be your fate
[SOLO:ERWIN]
[SOLO:STEPHAN]
10. Omnicoitor / Dolor Satanae
11. The Meaning Of Life
[E.De Brouwer/S.Gebйdi]
Preachers tell you what to believe, parents tell you how to behave
Teachers teach you maths and science, they tell you how to live your life
But look at what they've made of their lives, how can they tell us what's wrong or what's right...
If they had used their fucking minds, life on earth would be just fine
Scientists invent new weapons instead of cures for diseases,
all for the sake of our precious country,
Preachers on TV steal your money and your soul, all in the name of Christ...
Now your parents are divorced, your teacher's in a sanitarium,
your TV-set is broken so there are no teachers on the screen;
Grab this chance with your both hands, live your life the way you want
cause you're the only one who knows what's wrong or right for you
[SOLO:ERWIN]
