| 1. They Feed on Fear
Feeding our fears, corrupting our minds
They indoctrinate the masses, with their manipulating lies
Fear of terror, fear to speak out
Dazed and confused, full of doubt
Mass control is what they're aiming for
Fear! Upon us; the fuel for their betrayal!
Death! Befa |

Thanatos – одна из старейших дэт-металических команд Голландии. Свой первый полноформатный диск коллектив выпустил в 1990-ом году, однако начало группе было положено еще в середине 80-х. Нынешний альбом – пятый номерной и третий после воссоединения в конце прошлого десятилетия.
Удобно было бы сравнить его с одногодками от земляков Asphyx и Pestilence, тем более что и те и другие когда-то играли примерно похожий дэт-метал с архаичными элементами трэша. Но сегодня между Thanatos и его более именитыми соотечественниками можно найти мало общего. Те, кто в золотые для стиля годы были в зените славы, ныне «не на коне», а прежде скромные середняки, словно пытаясь наверстать упущенное, творят живой и непосредственный материал. Thanatos во главе со «стариком-разбойником» Стефаном Гебеди настолько же превосходит скучноватый (хотя в целом и приятный) Asphyx, насколько те сами – топорный и безвкусно-брутальный Pestilence времен недавнего реюниона. Про «Justified Genocide», вышедший в свет весной этого года, никак нельзя сказать, что его записал коллектив с почти двадцатилетним стажем деятельности. Звучит он примерно как дебютник – непоседливый, кусачий сверхскоростной трэш в сочетании с дэт-металическими агрессией и тяжестью. Не ожидаешь от работы столь колких выпадов, по-юношески озорных завихрений риффов, хорошей мелодики вместо монотонной зубодробильной тяжести, которую отчего-то принято ставить в пример дэт-металу. Нельзя не отметить, что работа невероятно мелодична по меркам олд-скульного дэт-метала.
Очередной альбом Thanatos – это еще один мостик между непосредственным «патлатым» металом 80-х и беспросветным мраком экстремальных 90-х. Музыка, как и весь стиль, очень специфическая, но в своей категории являющаяся настоящим лакомством для гурманов. Поэтому если вы заметили в себе хоть небольшую симпатию к произведениям ранних Pestilence, этот альбом определенно для вас.

They could easily liquidate the enemies of the state
But if they are set free, they generate more fear
Lies! Betrayers! I won't obey your words!
Die! Deceivers! I'll hit you where it hurts!
The feed on fear, they corrupt our minds...
The indoctrinated the masses
They impose new rules and regulations
To enforce their domination
Liars, deceivers, betrayers-you will pay!
Fear! Upon us; the fuel for their betrayal!
Death! Befalls us, if we let them have their way(s)
Lies! Betrayers! I won't obey your words!
Die! Deceivers! I'll hit you where it hurts!
Subliminal... Mass control... Subjugation... Subordination
Feeding our fears, corrupting our minds
They indoctrinate the masses, with their manipulating lies
2. Destruction.Chaos.Creation
Time has come to say goodbye
To all things precious, we must leave behind
Tonight we die, to be reborn
We must travel time, into the beyond
We - are - the chosen - ones
To - destroy and create a new world order
Every - thing - must - die
To - create new life that fit’s the master plan
…that is superior …to anthing we’ve seen before
I feel my life’s blood flowing (as) it’s pouring on the floor
I can feel my spirit dying, it’s fading more and more
New life’s injected in my veins, in chaos I’m reborn
The berserker that I have become
Will leave you ripped and torn
A scorched - earth - is - left
No living - soul on earth could escape our rage
A new - race - is - born
Destined to become the rules of the Netherworlds
The guardians of the throne
The knights of the Twilight Zone
The gods of the sun!
Destruction. Chaos. Creation
Destruction. Chaos. Death
Destruction. Chaos. Creation
Destruction. Chaos. Death
We - are - the chosen - ones
To - destroy and create a new world order
Every - thing - must - die
To - create new life that fit’s the master plan
3. The Devil’s Triangle
Summoning the spirits in the triangular castle on the hills
Evocations, incantations
The centre of the universe, for the enlightened “Ubermensch”
Celebrations of exterminations
Built on remains of the pre-Aryan race
Absorbing the powers from their graves
The unholy forces of their ancestors
A place of evil, a place of scorn
Where thousands of witches were sentenced to burn
Executions, the final solution
One man’s vision, one man’s dream, a new world order, a new regime
Desecration, devastation
Forming a new world of knighthood, just like medieval times
The Teutonic invasion, the third coming of Satan
The energy streams determined the place
To erect this building of spiritual grace
To serve the purpose of the usurpers
Sacrificing lives of 1200 slaves to the cathedral of the “master race”
The ceremonial centre of a new religion
Summon the spirits, summon the dead
In the crypt down below, their ashes are shed
Soldiers of hatred, knights of the reich
Praise the spirits, praise the antichrist
The triangular castle, an unholy place
The headquarters of the master race
The forces of evil are gathered inside
To end the epoch of the White Light
The triangular castle holds the key
To a secret beyond belief
The legend of the holy grail - Revealed!
The emperor of infinity guards the gates to divinity
The occult forces of the grail - will prevail!
A circular crypt, the land of the dead
Where the ashes of the enlightened are shed
Forever bound - to the eternal black flame
The northern tower was said to be
Indestructible by their enemies
As the forces of evil - have gathered inside
Bastion of the dark one, summoned by men, to watch over them
Join the godless celebration
Coronation of the antichrist, feel the powers of evil rise
To end the epoch of the White Light
4. March of the Infidels
Forward into battle, marching off to war
We don’t care what we’re fighting for
No sympathy for your kind, all empathy left behind
Genocide is justified
In the name of your lord, you terrorize the entire world
No mercy for the “unholy swines”, u infidels you despise!
Forward into battle, marching off to war
We don’t care what we’re fighting for
All your ideas are washed away, no god to help you, not today
Your insane beliefs have caused a storm
No sympathy for your kind, all empathy left behind
Now we slay your kind and kill the unborn
Spreading fear and spreading death, executions, death threats
Now payback time has arrived, genocide is justified
With hatred in our eyes, we take your fuckin’ lives
We burn your fuckin’ villages and light up the skies
No remorse, no regrets, what you give is what you get
(you) Stupid fuck (you) piece of shit
(did) You think you’d get away with it?!?!
The hunter is the hunted now, the stalker is the prey
Feel your last breath fade away…
You won’t live to tell, in darkness you will dwell
You soul is destined to burn in hell…
5. Justified Genocide
Crimes against humanity, dominated the 20th century
It will go down in history as the age of war and tyranny
Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse Tung, Pol Pot and Saddam thr bringers of doom
Mass destruction, genocide - In their eyes was justified
They unchained revolutions, total disorder
To create their envisioned new world order
Cleansing the nation, destroying the vermin
‘’He who things big cannot be humane’’
(if you’d) Criticize their ways, you’d surely die
The ones (considered) imperfect would be fried
Over 20 million inferiors
Were slaughtered for Hitler’s imperium
The Fuhrer gave orders to kill the Jews, the weak, the mentally ill
Jusif Stalin randomly killed
25 to 50 million died at his will
‘’All those who oppose me must die… and if I don’t trust you, you will die tonight’’
Mao Tse Tung was willing to sacrifice
300 Million innocent lives
He unchained a ‘’cultural revolution’’
As a cloak for mass executions
People were told to live by his book
70 million met their doom
The yellow tyrants stands out from the crowd
For the world’s largest body count
…DEMOCIDE!!!
6. Dawn of Eternity (Massacre Cover)
Winter ice - terminal frost
Closing eyes of equinox
Dimensional change - darkening skies
The sphere is shackled till dusk
Prophet dreams - ride the winds
As black holes open for devouring
Universal chaos in the realm of time
Surface of earth - covered in rime
From beyond enter the horror
Of a dark and hideous nature
The fall of man is now at hand
Awakened from an ancient slumber
The immortal ones return
The earth is theirs ones again
Stricken, cursed - frozen damnation
Man's fall to perpetual domination
Time trapped in between stages
Frigid return to the chamber of ages
7. Dawn of Eternity (Massacre Cover)
Winter ice - terminal frost
Closing eyes of equinox
Dimensional change - darkening skies
The sphere is shackled till dusk
Prophet dreams - ride the winds
As black holes open for devouring
Universal chaos in the realm of time
Surface of earth - covered in rime
From beyond enter the horror
Of a dark and hideous nature
The fall of man is now at hand
Awakened from an ancient slumber
The immortal ones return
The earth is theirs ones again
Stricken, cursed - frozen damnation
Man's fall to perpetual domination
Time trapped in between stages
Frigid return to the chamber of ages
8. Apostles of Damnation
Welcome to the pits of all abominations
Follow in me footsteps Apostles of Damnation
Servants of hatred, soldiers of extermination
Storms Fire Chaos War… No Salvation
Down below ‘’the one who were and forever shall be’’ dwell
The legions of the netherworld will sound the demon bell
Indulge in your pleasures, follow us into temptation
Lust and desires, rituals of unholy copulations
Welcome to the pits of all abominations
Follow in me footsteps Apostles of Damnation
The flames of redemption burn my flesh and my skin
But torture and punishment can’t affect my need to sin
No penance for your unholiness. Noone can keep us down
Do not expect ‘’Judgment Day’’ No kingdom will come
The garden of Eden, Destroyed, Ravaged/Ravished lies open
It’s ours for the taking, the meek and the mild are broken
Down below ‘’the one who were and forever shall be’’ dwell
The legions of the netherworld will sound the demon bell
No penance for your unholiness. Noone can keep us down
Do not expect ‘’Judgment Day’’ No kingdom will come
9. Upwards Spiritual Evolution
Your world of beauty - your so called order
Disintegrating- before your very eyes
The universe - as having fallen
From pure spirit - into base matter and filth
We will lead the world - into the realms of nightmare
A new world order is forming - rising from the fires
No evil priest can halt us, Yes! We are the children of Agni
Away with incense and holy water, Oh god of fire and creation
The time of the cross is gone now, the sun whisck shall arise
And so we shall be free at last, fire bring salvation on earth
Our mission - to begin once more
The ascent from darkness - to the light of the spirit
Agni: The fire whisck - the very act - of creation
No evil priest can halt us, Yes! We are the children of Agni
Away with incense and holy water, Oh god of fire and creation
The time of the cross is gone now, the sun whisck shall arise
And so we shall be free at last, fire bring salvation on earth
The fifth of symbols - the key
The mystery - hidden in our blood
The flaming one will end the faction
Whatever he ordains shall be forever
No evil priest can halt us, Yes! We are the children of Agni
Away with incense and holy water, Oh god of fire and creation
The time of the cross is gone now, the sun whisck shall arise
And so we shall be free at last, fire bring salvation on earth
10. And Jesus Wept (Bonus)
Centuries of horror, torment and pain
Chained by his dogmas, still praying in vain
The fear of god engraved deep in their hearts
The preachers of purity still playing their parts
Remember J.C. born as the son of god
Destined to end his life on a cross
He died for the sins of humanity
A ritual sacrifice - insanity !
And Jesus wept...
Hatred is burning inside of me
The flames of horror won't set me free
Vomit is dripping from my mouth
Profaning earth's unholy ground
For aeons and aeons insanity has reigned
Now is the time...to break the chains
Die for allah, live for god;
Deny the worth of your earthly existence
[repeat 1st verse]
It's over now...no more lies
Think for yourself...be your own god
[repeat 2nd verse]
11. The Burning of Sodom (Bonus, Dark Angel cover)
Once, the tale of Sodom
Brought anguish to the eyes
Of all god-fearing people
With eternal afterlives
Sin and lust run rampant now
Perversion on the rise
Reliving all the ways of old
Gommorrah realized
Sodom, an unholy place
Angels searched for a few
Souls who'd yet to fall from grace
To save them from the doom
Paradise of pleasures lost
Herein the future lies
Laughing at the "holy cross"
As death rained from the skies
Falling from the heavens
Angels lie decayed
Burning, city of Sodom
One by one, sinners pay
Skeptics failed to heed the call
Of angels sent to tell
Of the impending death to all
In blazing city hell
Consorting with the demons craft
The ways of god repelled
Burning cross, cause to laugh
Lot, the one expelled
Falling from the heavens
Angels lie decayed
Burning, city of Sodom
One by one, sinners pay
The sufferers' impalement
Inside the city gates
Worshipping the holy priests
The masters of all hate
The flag of the inverted cross
Menacing, held high
Laughing at the "holy cross"
At twelve, the virgin dies!!!
Our righteous family did escape
The family-father lot
Sinful daughters succumbed to rape
Not as holy as thought!!!
Mankind throughout eternity
Built on evils' designs
The resilience of iniquity
Lives on in christian minds
Falling from the heavens
Angels lie decayed
Burning, city of Sodom
One by one, sinners pay!!!
