Если бы шведский Lothlorien не распался, то наверняка стоял бы на верхней ступеньке мелодик-дэта наряду с Dark Tranquillity и In Flames. Единственный их альбом «The Primal Event», состоящий из восьми мини-шедевров, я считаю одним из лучших в истории жанра. Потрясающая мелодичность и экстремальная агрессия органично соединились благодаря атмосферным клавишным. Это настоящая дэт-симфония! Возможно, музыканты решили, что выше головы не прыгнешь, иначе чем объяснить распад после отличного дебюта? Кратко по темам.
«I Wear Mankind» - мощный открывающий боевик, скорость с переходом на средний темп и обратно, реальный хит! «Forever and Ever Alone»: клавишные во всей красе, здесь они играют чуть ли основную роль. Немного грустная, но цепляющая вещь! «Moments» - это дэт-баллада. Супермелодично, искренне, слезы капают... «Sorrowsoul» - шедевр под номером «4». Снова виртуозная, но печальная тема, в которой название говорит само за себя. Красотища! «The Other Side». Здесь чего стоит удивительное гитарное соло! «Inside My Mind» - моя любимая вещь, это надо слушать и наслаждаться! «Supernatural»: быстрая атмосферная мелодия, легко (в хорошем смысле) и непринужденно. «Among Those Who Wept». Закрывашка, которая отличается от других тем более сложной структурой из-за постоянной смены ритма.
P.S. Обложка, кстати, тоже на уровне. |

look at th etime that spins by me now
the ticking, taking time with a closer sound
Put out my life
step out of my eyes, step out of my sight
all splendid lies
takes larger size by brand new disguise
put out my life
step out of my eyes, step out of my sight
no rest is mine, no peace in mind
cause I wear mankind
2. Forever And Ever Alone
I walk lightly over the earth I see
I still keep trying to feel
nothing is left, time to die out again
once you were here but now your gone my friend
nothing is like I once saw the horizon
so lonely and so cold
so lonely and so alone
I absorb what I'll no longer know
this is not what I expected to feel
the time has taken my life away
what I love has been ripped away from me
Ages have past since you coloured my light
I'll never again see shining eyes so bright
forever and ever I'll be a forgotten name in your mind
without you my dear is my existence not worth calling life
Nothing can be as it was my friend
everything withers and grows up again
forever you're gone my friend
here all alone to the unknown send
3. Moments
Come down to me
I'll give you all you need to live
I'll let go, give in, feel free
I don't need to live
Come down to me
stand for the things you belive in
my heart is burning
all doors wide open
I'll let go, give in, feel free
I don't need to live
I just want to leave it all behind
pay attention
emotions no longer bear mankind
Misfortune grows by every moments fall
the irony of my yearning passion
emotions swirl round my coming event
that stops the heartpounding rhythm
4. Sorrowsoul
I feel the call, the eternity I can't prevail
by ages of distress and a life so enslaved
memories from my past crawling closer
can this lonely night come forth again?
I hide myself surrounded by shadows
I'm alone within darkness with deep tearful eyes
I feel so afraid, cold and alone
but she's within my heart, mind and soul
Nothing seems to be worth living for
my end so near and so real
my nocturnal desire must final stand
I can't live through them once again
With no strength left I force myself through the rain
I can't feel my future, only my mind's pain
towards my end I'm crawling
just thinking of her with deep mourning eyes
please forgive my beloved
I must end my life and leave you crying behind
5. The Other Side
Anguish inside is rising
feel the presence of the other sid
I'm your incarnated confusion
the mind that don't need any solution
So I look into the deepest of me
can you see what I once was?
this is what I have become
An insanity to your mind's fear
Dark is the path there I'll be by your side
don't try to run, you cannot hide
You screamed and cried as I revealed you my way
the way that's gonna repay you my pain
6. Inside My Mind
As voices of the night call me
I walk into the eternal flame
I feel it burning me from inside
no longer wishing, forever be alive
Wandering alone within walls of madness
searching for forgiveness in lifeless emptyness
since the day I was taken my first breath
I have been forgotten and lost on a cold path
Abondoned in the never allowed desire
the only thing to whisper me goodbye
inside my mind
I'm surrounded by ignorance and hate
from the chambers of fears and rage
I cannot exept the unending reality
I must end my life, away from eternity
there no spirits will guide me
not enslaved by darkened skies
In a time of endless creams I see myself wither/fading
I feel so small, lost and frozen/dying
wander across the fields of tranquillity
forever I will be chased by insanity
I gaze into the flames of my destiny
twisting and turning towards my journey
All love lost, desolation will not forget me
over the sky I will follow the light
I am gone and that I will not regret
the hour of strange floating lights
the never allowed land now embrace me
the world beyond has forgiven me but not forget me
7. Supernatural
Foolish eyes watch me now
the steel comes in like thunder
with deep wounds I down bow
time to go without questions, without wonder
my trembling body turns silent, turns cold
time to join the land down under
when drizzle turns to rain
when tears from a crying eye slowly turn to oceans
when living is in vain
when bleeding hears comes out in words and emotions
Utopian feelings for a stronger imagination
Supernatural mind and soul
the deal gives me anger
the silent wheel starts to roll
human race another failure
watch out for the misfit factors wherever you go
protect your mind, body and soul
Sleepers used for the higher powers
failing against supernatural man
lurking slowly, heavens towers
life runs out in the sand
8. Among Those Who Wept
When all serene was fading
a theatrical performance
went up before my eyes
a performance where the actors were slaved
under the decietful God
The land forlorn that never will see light again
it sombre slept behind th eseal
the act kept spinning round its wheel
the sight was getting misty as tears filled my eyes
my mind was filled with thoughts about the people
and about their raging sky
sounds of misery echoed in my head
never again I will feel such a sympathy
that i felt that moment
so follow down this dreadful dream
The confidence that once was built
is now falling to pieces
a confidence that was built by dreams
forever buried in desperation
My soul was filled with despair, my eyes filled with tears
as I tried to gatehr the last of my strength
to seek in the depth of the unknown
The curtain goes up and the last act begins
still so sombre but somehow darker
a goblet filled with blood of thousands
approaches above their heards
the voice of darkness starts to grind in my head
"Purify your damned souls, drink of the unholy communion
swear the allegiance and you'll never catch a glimpse
of sunlight again"
The frost that lays on the land where life no longer dwells
is a memory of the one that showed
that life don't have a meaning
