 Сайд-проект Rotting Christ и Necromantia - уже звучит многообещающе. А если учесть ещё и приглашённого вокалиста, знаменитого Seth'а из Septic Flesh, то становится вдвойне интересно узнать, что представлено на этой работе. Прошлая была довольно интересным жёстким блэком с сильным трэшевым, небольшим дэтовым, и, как ни странно, эмбиентным акцентами. Ну и греческий саунд, конечно - куда же без этого, если в группе двое из важнейших представителей его основоположников?
На этой работе из всего перечисленного исчезли только эмбиентные вставки. Дэта и трэша стало больше, причём произошёл явный резкий крен в сторону первого. Вокал... Про эту составляющую можно говорить долго. Почему? Потому что здесь полноценно работают над ним сразу три человека - Сакис, Магус и, разумеется, Seth. Полурык-полушипение первого отлично сочетается как с шипящим скримом второго, так и с брутальным гроулом третьего. Гитарная работа также выше всяких похвал, соляков здесь ровно столько, сколько нужно, то есть не слишком много, что обусловлено заданным стилем альбома. Особо хотелось бы отметить и работу Магуса как бас-гитариста и клавишника - его инструмент здесь звучит достаточно жёстко, но ничего лишнего нет, а в виртуозности Морбиду (таково ещё одно его прозвище) не откажешь. Очень к месту и клавишная "подложка" - она идёт всё время фоном, не вылезая там, где не нужно, и тем не менее отлично передавая атмосферу. Ударные здесь довольно типичны для греческого стиля, разве только местами ещё ускорены. Прописано всё это также великолепно.
Интересной здесь является и лирика - о сатанизме здесь говорится не так уж много, больше сказано о разных тёмных ритуалах и разрушении, также нашлось место и исторической теме - в песне "Baphomet's Meteor" речь идёт о нашествии монголов. Собственно, музыкальное сопровождение вполне этому соответствует - оно тёмное и очень жёсткое. Гораздо более тёмное, чем, скажем, у Behemoth, и едва ли менее жёсткое. Лучшие треки - второй, четвёртый, пятый и шестой как наиболее мощные и злые.
Однозначно советую к прослушиванию. Особенно если надо, что называется, "выпустить пар". Чего-чего, а злости здесь с избытком, и при прослушивании можно выплеснуть немалую часть того, что скопилось внутри. Ну а для любителей чего-либо разрушительного в музыке это и вовсе мастхэв. |

2. Baphomet's Meteor
He came from the heavens
On a mission from Hell
Androgynous lord of Void
Master craftsman from the stars
The split of the Atom
Compressed in a sphere
A powerful weapon
Gifted to the Templar Knights
The Grand master William
Gathered the warriors of the cross
The fearsome combat monks
Armed to the teeth, with hearts of steel
The militia of heaven marched
Crushing the Saracen scum
Flesh and bone torn apart
By the power of the Spheres
The fires of Bathomet
Where science and magic melt
Men and women all shall perish
Who will not part with what they cherish
The fires of Bathomet
Where science and magic melt
Men and women all shall perish
Who will not part with what they cherish
Men and women all shall perish
Who will not part with what they cherish
The fires of Bathomet
Where science and magic melt
Men and women all shall perish
Who will not part with what they cherish
The fires of Bathomet
Burned cities to the ground
Forced Sultans beg for mercy
Stroke fear in the hearts of men
They entered the land of Khan
They faced the Mongol troops
And once again with lightning bolts
They sent their souls to Satan
3. Crowning the Winged Skull
Rex Grandis Mundanus Spiritus Impius est
Mistress of the depths
I call you forth
Behold the symbol
Of your mighty power
Open the mirrored gate
And give life to the skull
Fashioned by my Art
Hear the Elder names
That may not be spoken
Issue from the jaws
Of a vampire
See the form of your place
Rex Grandis Mundanus Spiritus Impius est [2x]
Amongst the stars
Stretch out your being
Accept the sacrifice
Lend power to this shell
And bring the Dragon forth
Let me pass unharmed
Through the realms of your kingdom
Drain me out and fill me up
Assist me in my time of need
Connect me to the silver thread
Which penetrates the Cosmos
Be one with me
As I am of you
Of Those Who Have Risen
Serpent - Dragon - Tiama

5. Desire, Lust and Incubus
The countless days and nights she prayed
An astral call made out of lust
Her body in heat, her lorns aflame
Feverish dreams, desire of sin
She bathed herself in Venus' tears
Painted her markings on her skin
Through heathen charms and ancient spells
Her passion found it's way to Hell
The Demon Lord has felt her heat
Her summoning has reached the Sin
Deep in his twilight kingdom
He spread his wings against the nightdom
He found her draped in altar cloth
She spread her legs and bared her breasts
Luscious wet lips, heart beating fast
Waiting his deviant demon touch
He found her draped in altar cloth
She spread her legs and bared her breasts
Luscious wet lips, heart beating fast
Waiting his deviant demon touch
He entered her in delirium state
Twisting like serpent, slippery and wet
He made her cum a thousand times
And filled her womb with devil seed
And then she fell in a deep sleep
Exhausted from this lucid dream
And just before the crack of dawn
He spread his wings against the nightsky
The Demon Lord has felt her heat
Her summoning has reached the Sin
Deep in his twilight kingdom
He spread his wings against the nightdom
The Demon Lord has felt her heat
Her summoning has reached the Sin
Deep in his twilight kingdom
He spread his wings against the nightdom
The Demon Lord has felt her heat
Her summoning has reached the Sin
Deep in his twilight kingdom
He spread his wings against the nightdom
The Demon Lord has felt her heat
Her summoning has reached the Sin
Deep in his twilight kingdom
He spread his wings against the nightdom
6. Eyes Wide Shut and Lips Wide Opened
The mansion, black and cold
The meeting, time is right
The password, God of lust
The calling, Dionysian rites
Black robes, silver hoods
Hidden behind the masks
Strangers, bonded by Desire
Bounded by the Silent Code
Eyes shut, lips open
Circle, sin, never broken
From his throne the Serpent speaks
"Let the chants of Sin begin"
Nine scarlet whores
Start the Liberian dance
Unholy fire, their lions aflame
Soon flesh and darkness become one
Like savages they fornicate
Sweat mixes with blood and cum
Eyes shut, lips open
Circle, sin, never broken
Eyes wide shut and lips wide open
The Circle of Sin was never broken
Eyes wide shut and lips wide open
The Circle of Sin was never broken
From his throne the Serpent speaks
"Let the chants of Sin begin"
Nine scarlet whores
Start the Liberian dance
Unholy fire, their lions aflame
Soon flesh and darkness become one
Like savages they fornicate
Sweat mixes with blood and cum
A spell of sacred ecstasy
A game of sexual frenzy
The moans sound in unison
Ending in beastly orgasm
The mansion, dark and silent
The great hall deserted
The gates remain scaled
Until the next reunion
Eyes shut, lips open
Circle, sin, never broken
A spell of sacred ecstasy
A game of sexual frenzy
The moans sound in unison
Ending in beastly orgasm
The mansion, dark and silent
The great hall deserted
The gates remain scaled
Until the next reunion
Eyes shut, lips open
Circle, sin, never broken
Eyes shut, lips open
Circle, sin, never broken
7. The Shadow Doctrine
The One is the Flame of Life
The Many are the sparks in the Flame
The Fire is One and All
Divided into Nine
The unity of One
Becomes diversity
Yet the Many remain One
Into the pool of Lifeforce
Watching the Nine worlds
Through the Eye of the Dragon
And the God awakens
Into manifestation
Unwrapped from His sleep
Of the Cosmic Chaos
Through Silver Threads He speaks
Transforming the Ones who Rise
The One is the Flame of Life
The Many are the sparks in the Flame
The Fire is One and All
Divided into Nine
The unity of One
Becomes diversity
Yet the Many remain One
Into the pool of Lifeforce
Infinite, changeless the Inner Most Self
Ever-changing, the Dragon Self
Infinite, changeless the Inner Most Self
Ever-changing, the Dragon Self
The One is the Flame of Life
The Many are the sparks in the Flame
The Fire is One and All
Divided into Nine
The unity of One
Becomes diversity
Yet the Many remain One
Into the pool of Lifeforce

Ever-changing, the Dragon Self
Infinite, changeless the Inner Most Self
Ever-changing, the Dragon Self
Infinite, changeless the Inner Most Self
Ever-changing, the Dragon Self
Infinite, changeless the Inner Most Self

8. Behind the Druid Walls
Dust, sacred blood
Dissolving into the earth
Rebirth from suffering
Circle of the insane
Ancient Druid cults
Hellpath to freedom
Molecular explosion
Spirit of earth aflame
Carved in blood, straight to Hell
The pentagram gate
Carved in blood
The asylum walls
Became their soultrap
Flesh will set them free
Sacrifice and pain
Subterranean wrath
Routes straight to Hell
Carved in blood, straight to Hell
Behind the Druid walls
Breathing the dust
Inside the druid walls
We are legion
Cursed entrapped
Alive but dead
Light up the paths
On demon's speed
A thousand cries
A thousand souls
Criminally insane
We are free
Carved in blood
Breathing the dust
Sacrifice and pain
Subterranean wrath
Routes straight to Hell
A thousand cries
A thousand souls
Criminally insane
We are free
Straight to Hell
Behind the Druid walls
Breathing the dust
Inside the druid walls
We are legion
Carved in blood, Druid cults
Straight to Hell, we are free
Dust, sacred blood
Dissolving into the earth
Rebirth from suffering
Circle of the insane
Carved in blood
A thousand cries
A thousand souls
Criminally insane
We are free
Carved in blood, straight to Hell
Behind the Druid walls
Breathing the dust
Inside the druid walls

9. Those We Guide
High spires of cathedrals
Small rustic churches
Mosques, Hindu temples
Synagogues all
We support and assist them
Endorse and persist in
Smiling and aiding
So they do not fall
We do it through options
For a future that never
Will give the slave ever
What he cannot feel
And never do we let on
That the beliefs that they bet on
Serve only the True Gods
Whose Will they fulfil
So Vampire think kindly
On those who so blindly
Follow the scriptures
Writ past and allowed
For the slave who feels certain
His freedom is perfect
Will easily follow the
Commands from on high
But slaves who will question
Their current situation
Will not follow commands
But will stubbornly die
Rather than obey
The Words of their Masters
Vampire remember
The Truth of the Lie
So Vampire think kindly
On those who so blindly
Follow the scriptures
Writ past and allowed
For the slave who feels certain
His freedom is perfect
Will easily follow the
Commands from on high
So Vampire think kindly
On those who so blindly
Follow the scriptures
Writ past and allowed
For the slave who feels certain
His freedom is perfect
Will easily follow the
Commands from on high
