В начале своей карьеры группа долго не могла определиться с тем, в каком направлении им играть. Сперва вышел дебютник "Krypteria" - фэнтезийный диск с кучей малопонятных треков с "рассказами" на немецком и номерами, позднее вошедшими на альбом "Liberatio" (гораздо более понятная работа). Стиль можно определить как new wave, electronic, sympho-pop. "Liberatio", естественно, почти что такой же - это сокращенная версия дебютника. Но одноименный трек с этого альбома до сих пор является самым популярным. После выходит альбом "In Medias Res", представляющий собой симфонический поп-рок. Стиль группы начал потихонечку формироваться. В 2007 группа полностью меняет направление, переходя на sympho gothic power metal (готику слышно в основном в текстах и хоровых частях), и выпускает свою самую успешную работу "Bloodangel's Cry".
И я всё гадал, подадутся ли немецкие ребята в откровенный готик-метал, станут ли они очередным блеклым проектом на данной сцене. "My Fatal Kiss" сказал уверенное "нет" всем моим сомнениям. Новый альбом коллектива представляет собой нечто очень подвижное и динамичное, с яркими, запоминающимися мелодиями. Каждая песня - однозначный хит. Простейшие переходы, приемы, которые, черт возьми, цепляют и не выходят из головы. Открывающая среднетемповая композиция "Ignition" уже заставляет подумать, что нет, не будет здесь этой пафосной готичности. Тяжелые риффы, мягкий голос, цепляющий мотив - вот уж действительно зажигание в полной мере. Симфоничность опала практически полностью, альбом построен на риффах с небольшими вкраплениями клавишных. Отдельное спасибо Джи-Ин за скрипку в балладе "God I Need Someone", которая звучит невероятно красиво. Тех людей, которые хоть раз слышали корейскую популярную музыку, композиция "Dying to Love" заставит задуматься, откуда дует ветер. Но песня очень трогательна, так что ругать ее не за что. Есть на альбоме и очень быстрые, задорные треки, такие как "Shoot Me". Она определённо сделана для исполнения вживую, для массового хедбенга слушателей.
До сих пор не могу понять, что я нашел в этой группе. В принципе, все довольно просто - запоминающиеся мелодии, тяжелые гитарки, но чем-то они захватывают меня и не спешат отпускать. По поводу вокала - да, в нем не хватает объема. А с другой стороны - зачем? Это обыкновенный азиатский эстрадник, в Европе как раз это и интересно. |

Ignition to my personal demolition
And no one to stop this ride / tristatur aliquis vestrum
Oh, why?
Don't worry, we have a plan
We just brought in a monkey to save us from crashing down
Mmh, ain't we the smartest, most brilliant and... oh, by the way:
It's officially time to panic now!
Ignition, but who sent me out on this mission?
I can't believe I applied / infirmatur quis in vobis
Ignition to my personal demolition
And no one to stop this ride / tristatur aliquis vestrum
Why, why, why?
Et oratio fidei salvabit infirmum et adlevabit eum Dominus
Why, why, why?
Ignition, but who sent me out on this mission?
I can't believe I applied / infirmatur quis in vobis
Ignition to my personal demolition
And no one to stop this ride / tristatur aliquis vestrum
Why?
2. My Fatal Kiss
Before the two of us will take this any further
You've got to tell me if you're ready for a sacrifice, a little death, a little kill, a little murder
And if you do it good I promise I'll be extra nice
Can you handle this?
My fatal kiss, so sweet it is
A taste you'll never want to miss
My fatal kiss, so sweet it is
Here it is, my fatal kiss
The time is right for a little death, for another kill, another murder
Say are you willing, are you able to meet my demands
Are you ready to take me a little further
Or do I have to take matters into my own hands?
Can you handle this?
My fatal kiss, so sweet it is
A taste you'll never want to miss
My fatal kiss, so sweet it is
Here it is, my fatal kiss
Can you handle this, can you handle this...?
My fatal kiss, so sweet it is
A taste you'll never want to miss
My fatal kiss, so sweet it is
Here it is, my fatal kiss, so sweet it is
A taste you'll never want to miss
My fatal kiss, so sweet it is
Here it is, my fatal kiss
3. Why Did You Stop The World From Turning
Am I done and dying, has my destiny caught up with me?
There is no denying I am lost in this, the life of me
Seems like you've been lying through your promises, your guarantees
Anybody crying over everything it could have been?
I hear the words but I think I'll never understand why it hurts
Won't you tell me, tell me
Why did you stop the world from turning?
The final curtain is going down in flames
Why, why did you have to go and end it
And leave me stranded one million light years away?
Why, why did you stop the world from turning?
I'm still hurting, my inner soul's been slain
Why, I just cannot understand it
I am stranded one million light years away
You got the best of me, now go ahead and take the rest that's left of me
I just lie here waiting for hell to break loose on me
Tell me why must love end in tragedy eventually?
Could it be that it's just part of one sick, your sick strategy?
It's only words yet I think I'll never understand why it hurts
Won't you tell me, tell me
Why did you stop the world from turning?
The final curtain is going down in flames
Why, why did you have to go and end it
And leave me stranded one million light years away?
Why, why did you stop the world from turning?
I'm still hurting, my inner soul's been slain
Why, I just cannot understand it
I am stranded one million light years away
One million light years away
Why, why?
Why did you stop the world from turning?
The final curtain is going down in flames
Why, why did you have to go and end it
And leave me stranded one million light years away?
Why, why did you stop the world from turning?
I'm still hurting, my inner soul's been slain
Why, I just cannot understand it
I am stranded one million light years away
One million light years away
One million light years away
4. For You I'll Bring The Devil Down
Out of words, searching for better lines to express what's going on inside
All of the good ones must have been used a billion times
Words come hard, I don't know how to start
What I have, really, don't seem too smart
But I just hope you still like it, it's straight from my heart
For you I'll bring the devil down / corona tenebrarum
For you I'll set him up and steal his crown / corona tenebrarum
I'll go to hell and back for you
For you I'll bring the devil down
For you I'll take him on and shut him down
I'll go to hell and back, I'll do
For you I'll bring the devil down
Yes, I know it's quite a thing to say and it just might be some lame cliché
What can I do, it's you who makes me feel this way
By the way, speaking of overused, here's a line that I think has long been due:
Baby, I love you and I'd do anything for you
For you I'll bring the devil down / corona tenebrarum
For you I'll set him up and steal his crown / corona tenebrarum
I'll go to hell and back for you
For you I'll bring the devil down
For you I'll take him on and shut him down
I'll go to hell and back, I'll do
For you I'll bring the devil down
If you talk the talk you've got to walk the walk
I won't back down from what I say
Because of you I feel this way
For you I'll bring the devil down / corona tenebrarum, corona tenebrarum
I'll go to hell and back for you
For you I'll bring the devil down
For you I'll take him on and shut him down
I'll go to hell and back, I'll do
For you I'll bring the devil down
5. Deny
Digital communication / Information deformation
Media manipulation / Character assassination
Nationwide intoxication / Socio-manipulation
The wonders of civilization? A generation victim to emotional decapitation
Yes, it's worse than it may seem
Machines create our dreams
We pretend that we are blind to find some peace of mind
Deny / Shut your eyes, keep living the lie
Deny / Like there's no tomorrow
Deny / Shut your eyes so you won't realize...
Deny / ...there might be no tomorrow after all
Visual contamination / Electronic penetration
Technological temptation / Sexual degeneration
Synthetic imagination / Artistic demystification
Mind sedated isolation / A generation victim to emotional disintegration
Yes, it's worse than it may seem
Machines create our dreams
We pretend that we are blind to find some peace of mind
Deny / Shut your eyes, keep living the lie
Deny / Like there's no tomorrow
Deny / Shut your eyes so you won't realize...
Deny / ...there might be no tomorrow after all
Yes, it's worse than it may seem
Machines create our dreams
We pretend that we are blind to find some peace of mind
Deny / Shut your eyes, keep living the lie
Deny / Like there's no tomorrow
Deny / Shut your eyes so you won't realize...
Deny / ...there might be no tomorrow after all
6. The Freak In Me
I never thought I would feel this way
Something's happened and I've changed
Could it be that I only found you to lose myself?
But you'll never know, you will never know
Cause you can't see my eyes following you from a distance
Hungry for each move you make
I'm watching when you dream at night, can you feel my pain?
But you'll never know, you will never know
Cause you won't see the fight inside, the cuts and bruises
See the side I hide that's so damn ruthless
See the fight inside, so sick and useless
I won't free the freak in me
I gotta die on my own
I barely can control the way I'm feeling
You're alone, asleep, I'm here
I'm so close I can almost taste you, I feel you breathe
Got to stay away, got to stay away
So you won't see the fight inside, the cuts and bruises
See the side I hide that's so damn ruthless
See the fight inside, so sick and useless
I won't free the freak in me
I gotta die on my own
I just cannot stand it any longer
Can't control the urge so strong
The other side is finally taking over now
I can't help myself, I can't help myself
It's time you see the fight inside, the cuts and bruises
See the side I hide that's so damn ruthless
See the fight inside, so sick and useless
I won't free the freak in me
I gotta die on my own
See me, feel me, free me, bleed me
Now I'll free the freak!
7. Never Say Die
How dare you tell me how to feel and what to do
When it's so obvious that all you care about is you, yourself and you
How come that though you said you'd always have my back
You're sitting pretty while the noose gets tighter around my neck
I'm going on without you
I'm moving on without you now
I'm gonna find a way to bring this monster down
Never say die, never say die and don't back down
Nothing's gonna faze you, you're gonna breakthrough in the end somehow
Never say die, never say die and don't back down
No one's gonna break me, I'm gonna make it in the end somehow
Never say die
How dare you ask me to submit to your command
When all you do is serve yourself and screw me over time and time again
Too bad I've heard this one too many times before
No, I ain't gonna let your demons drag me down no more
I'm going on without you
I'm moving on without you now
I'm gonna find a way to bring this monster down
Never say die, never say die and don't back down
Nothing's gonna faze you, you're gonna breakthrough in the end somehow
Never say die, never say die and don't back down
No one's gonna break me, I'm gonna make it in the end somehow
Where am I? What have I done?
Where am I? Is my salvation ever gonna come?
Where am I? What in the world have I done?
Now I'm staring down the barrel of a gun
Never say die, never say die and don't back down
I'm gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it in the end somehow
Never say die, never say die and don't back down
No one's gonna break me, I'm gonna make it in the end somehow
Never say die
8. Dying To Love
How well I remember all those moments when we touched
But memories are all I have left
HE took you away from, took you away from me
I'm dying to love, I'm dying to live again
Dying to love, to follow you
Dying to love, my life I shall give
I am dying to love, to finally live again
Time moves on without me
As I yearn for this to end
How long must I bleed in this life
When there's nothing to bleed for, nothing to feel anymore
I'm dying to love, I'm dying to live again
Dying to love, to follow you
Dying to love, my life I shall give
I am dying to love, to finally live again
I'm dying to love, I'm dying to live again
Dying to love, to follow you
Dying to love, my life I shall give
I am dying to love
In death I will live again, live again, see you again, again
9. Shoot Me
Tell me do you remember all the pain you put me through?
You forgot? I did not, I never will
I really hate you right now, I really do
I'm gonna make you pay now
There's only one way out of this left for you:
Shoot me, better shoot me now
Shoot before I knock you out
Yes, I'm gonna knock you out
Shoot me, better shoot me now
Shoot or else you're going down
You'll pay the price for every single thing you did to me
You can run, you can hide, I'll chase you down
Crying won't help you, no one will rescue you
It's time for you to pay now
There's only one way out of this left for you:
Shoot me, better shoot me now
Shoot before I knock you out
Yes, I'm gonna knock you out
Shoot me, better shoot me now
Shoot or else you're going down
So now you say you're sorry about the things you did to me
It's too late, way too late, you're going down
Shoot me (shoot me), better shoot me now
Shoot before I knock you out
Yes, I'm gonna knock you out
Shoot me, better shoot me now
Shoot or else you're going down
10. God I Need Someone
Trapped in total darkness
No dawning evermore
A mile below the ground, that's me
I cut myself to see if there's something left in here
Like a bullet to a gun,
God, I need someone, just anyone, to save me from what I've become
God I need someone, just anyone, to stop me from pulling the trigger on this gun
God I need someone
A thousand shattered pieces
No motion anymore
A mutilated doll, that's me
I cut myself to see if there's still fight in me
Like a bullet to a gun,
God, I need someone, just anyone, to save me from what I've become
God I need someone, just anyone, to stop me from pulling the trigger on this gun
God I need someone
The night keeps growing darker and the fight is getting harder in here
God I need someone, just anyone, to save me from what I've become
God I need someone, just anyone, to stop me from pulling the trigger on this gun
God I need someone
11. Now (Start Spreading The Word)
So the world is calling you a fool
Hear them laugh as they prophesy your doom
Now, before they bury you alive, fight their lies and reignite
Go scream the truth right in their face: No, it ain't over
Now start spreading the word
Now make sure the whole world will hear you
Now just prove the absurd
Now and don't let nobody stop you now
So the world has labelled you a fraud
Here they come, they'd even pay to see you fall
Now, before they have you stigmatized, ridiculed and petrified
Go slam the truth right in their face: It ain't over
Now start spreading the word
Now make sure the whole world will hear you
Now just prove the absurd
Now and don't let nobody stop you
Now start spreading the word
Now make sure the whole world will hear you
Now just prove the absurd
Now and don't let nobody stop you
It ain't over, it ain't over, it ain't over
Now!
12. Headfirst Into A Sea Of Flames
I have to reinvent myself now
I could use some help
Where's everybody else gone?
I need a new "me" to arise, feed my shell to the fire
A reputation built on lies
I don't want to sell myself
Leave that to someone else
Headfirst into a sea of flames to burn the sins of yesterday
The time has come to change and dive into a sea of flames
Headfirst into the jaws of death to get myself out of this mess
For me to rise again it's straight into a sea of flames
I never thought I'd come to this point
The edge of everything there is, at least to myself
It's time for me to take this step
To resurrect and reignite the me that I once used to be
I don't want to sell myself
Leave that to someone else
Headfirst into a sea of flames to burn the sins of yesterday
The time has come to change and dive into a sea of flames
Headfirst into the jaws of death to get myself out of this mess
For me to rise again it's straight into a sea of flames
FIRE!
I don't want to sell myself
Leave that to someone else
Headfirst into a sea of flames to burn the sins of yesterday
The time has come to change and dive into a sea of flames
Headfirst into the jaws of death to get myself out of this mess
For me to rise again it's straight into a sea of flames
13. Too Late, Game Over & Goodbye
I apologize for the end of our paradise
I figured it was time to clench my mind and turn things over
Maybe it's cause I'm too much of the difficult kind
Or maybe all we shared just up and died
Who cares / Cause now it is too late, game over and goodbye
No matter what you say or do it's over
It's sad but you won't see me cry
There's no more me and you
I'm oh so over you
I was in denial that our game plan went awry
But then I had to finally realize this "we"-thing's over
I don't know why you killed us from inside
You made your choice, I made us sever ties
Who gives a shit / It is too late, game over and goodbye
No matter what you say or do it's over
It's sad but you won't see me cry
There's no more me and you
I'm oh so over you
Too late, game over and goodbye
No matter what you say or do it's over
It's sad but you won't see me cry
There's no more me and you
I'm on to something new
Too late, game over and goodbye
No matter what you say or do it's over
It's sad but you won't see me cry
There's no more me and you
I'm oh so over you
