| Plague-House Puppet Show
Invitation to libation
Sucking all the lees to let it blow
Pushing veins like cannonade
Pulling strings in another puppet show
Think what you want that's what you'll get
Just play the game without regrets
Strings round your wrists won't let you go

Вторым альбомом Twilighting с легкостью доказал всем скептикам, что их успех с “Delirium Veil” был неслучаен – они не потеряли ни в мелодичности, ни в умении писать яркие, запоминающиеся песни. Между тем материал диска немного изменился, слегка потяжелев и даже прибавив от этого в выразительности. Даже забавно наблюдать просматривающиеся там и тут нотки от главных питомцев Anssi Kippo, Children Of Bodom. Структура песен немного изменилась – стало больше разнообразия и каждый инструмент, будь то клавиши или гитары, получил больше свободы. Даже дебютный альбом Twilighting не всегда можно было отнести к power metal, в “Plague-House Puppet Show” этих элементов стало еще меньше, но от этого он не стал хуже, а, скорее наоборот, интереснее. Удачные эксперименты с электроникой не замедлили сказаться на результате – песни слушаются совершенно ударно и необычно, еще больше подчеркивая индивидуальность этой талантливой финской банды. Послушайте “Victim Of Deceit” и поймете, о чем я говорю – сочетание техноритмов, гитарных соло и хоров дает в сумме очень любопытный результат. Естественно, такая свобода каждого инструмента не всегда идет на пользу, и порой гитарист или клавишник немного увлекаются своими партиями, но это мелочь на фоне интересного, и, я бы даже сказал, не очень типичного материала. Любителей лирики наверняка привлечет красивая баллада “Painting The Blue Eyes” душещипательным гитарным соло и прочувствованным голосом Heikki Pöyhiä, некоторыми интонациями напомнившего мне голос Тобиаса Саммета. Очень приличное, слегка неожиданное, продолжение яркого дебюта “Delirium Veil” Twilighting, и чего ждать на третьем диске мне не совсем ясно, хотя признаюсь, послушать, в какие дебри творчества их занесет на этот раз очень любопытно, благо ждать осталось недолго.

Второй диск финских пауэрщиков Twilightning показывает упор музыкального материала на традиции хэви метала восьмидесятых годов, нежели на новомодный финский пауэр. Достаточно несерьёзная обложка и где-то даже страшноватая, усиление хоров в припевах, помрачнение музыкального материала, ещё меньшее количество клавиш, ещё меньшая длительность пластинки (всего лишь 45 минут) – вот все изменения которые коснулись музыки группы. Вокалист также несколько усовершенствовался – он стал петь ещё надрывнее и увереннее. Если говорить о общем прогрессе, то он не слишком заметен, коренных изменений в музыку, в принципе, привнесено не было, хотя появились мелодические ходы в стиле Элиса Купера, Europe и ещё больше Heavens Gate. Качество записи отличное – ответ держали Микко Юсилла и Кармила, а также Анси Киппо. Тексты песен достаточно неплохие. Музыка на «Plaque-House Puppet Show», как и на дебютном альбоме «Delirium Veil», отличается сильным динамизмом и энергетикой. По части хитов «Plaque-House Puppet Show» явно выигрывает у своего предшественника. Большая половина диска строится на цепляющих и пробивных песнях, таких как открывающая заглавная «Plaque-House Puppet Show» - самая мощная и забойная композиция на альбоме, запевная и ударная «Into Treason», супер хитовая «The Fiend», с красивым запоминающимся припевом, мощная «Victim Of Deceit», лирическая баллада «Painting The Blue Eyes» и др. А вот концовка альбома получилась почему-то смазанной и не впечатляющей. Особенно выделяется на общем фоне яркая композиция «Diamond Of Mankind» - достаточно нехарактерная песня как для самой группы, так и для нашего современного времени. В целом, своим вторым альбомом ребята показали что имеют право на существование, стиль свой тоже как оказалось они уже нашли. Сам же альбом на порядок выше и интереснее дебютного диска. И я могу уже спокойно сказать: пауэрщикам - мастхэв! |

Второй альбом, следующий за дебютным "Delirium Veil", финской формации Twilightning, ставший, на мой взгляд, главным Power Metal-прорывом 2003 года!
А это очень хорошее продолжение! Песни стали ещё более забойными! Хотя ближе к концу альбома градус забоя понижается. Но это ничуть не портит прослушивание и общее впечатление, а напротив - такой расклад под конец идёт, как логическое завершение! Очень красивая балладная композиция "Painting The Blue Eyes".
В целом, альбом полностью оправдал ожидания! Эмоциональность и энергетика здесь на должном уровне; красивые техничные соло-партии; пронзительный и надрывистый, но в то же время очень приятный вокал! А что ещё нужно поклонникам Power Metal?! |

Walls closing in with intense spin
One more round, oh don't lie low
Lewd minded organ grinder
Bent so out of shame with the face you know
Strings tighten, frighten, spinning still
Tell Mr.Grinder that's no thrill
Fulfilling your mind with a single blow
Why should you slow there?
Why should we stop the show?
Try out and go there
Take a look inside the show or you will never know
Why should you slow there?
Why should we stop the show?
Try out and go there
Try to hesitate in my world and will never know
Why should you slow there?
Why should we stop the show?
Try out and go there
Invitation to my world, so don't lie low
Into Treason
Enslaved to the mind of lubricious thoughts
Some people think we've some kind of snots...
I don't know about that
Gone to the wall in jester realm
A weird place where bastards hold the helm
Then I joined the riot race
Follow my trace to pass the delirium veil
You victim of deceit
I'm into treason you see
Nothing can season me
To be a tamed and honoured man
Prefer to do things and deeds they try to ban
Feeling sick at the seventh dawn again
The reward of living on the fast lane...
Gotta feed your brain
In the fervor's frontier at the forge
Experience it don't praise the goddamn lords
Attend the masked ball dalliance
Go on and dance and there's no return to innocence... no
Shine like the diamonds of mankinds
I'm into treason you see
Nothing can season me
To be a pawn of common way
And that's why I have to pay
The price for freedom
Still there's no reason
To be a tamed and honoured man
Prefer to do things and deeds they try to ban
The Fiend
Heard that sound again with same reaction
Too many peoples watching from below
Couldn't help himself bending
Wouldn't care even think defending
Easy way to lose and let it go
Took a breath but couldn't lose that impression
Apprehension sat in him to stay
"Master, leave me be, I'm crawling
You would love to see me falling!"
Falling in a flat spin...
Try to rape me with lies, I'll never be your fiend
Spinning the dice of what I feel
I just hate disguise, I'm not your fetter fiend
There's just too much that you haven't seen
Hanging on by a thread or narrow grinning, end of spinning
Made his way down from the 14th floor
Had found his lady in heat
Dancing in devils sheets
So much to say, oh let the lackey pray
"Anything you ever said, the hate you breed, the love you spread"
Pushing down onto the ground his head with fury, so they said
"Everything around this blunder,
The pantaloon lies six feet under!"
"Anything you ever said, your thoughts I couldn't read"
Victim Of Deceit
Couldn't have fallen higher, you left a lewd desire
Shot down from the sky like a hunted bird
Pressure of circumstance, you have been taking chances
Now it's going to wrack, there's a knife stabbed in you back
You're the victim of deceit
It's all been covered nice and neat
To make it all fall down on you like pouring rain
You're the wounded and the clown
The target for contemtuous frowns
Like you're the only one, redeemer of the stain
The power of denial, overruled by betrayal
Take the blame like it's what you deserve
And when the trial had ended
Justice was done splendid
Jeers and hoots for you
They're too dumb to see it's the right thing that you do
Why... not to grab the bait when it's at hand?
Who the hell is to tell you that you can't?
It's easy if you feel no shame and don't believe in hell
I can tell...
Painting The Blue Eyes
I was led a blind man through delusions
Fed by my shallow strength of sense
Within the confines of confusions
I cannot tell my real means from pretence
You were led in to the dreams of these illusions
Fed with loneliness ways of pain
So, who the hell am I to tell you
How to walk your way
When I cannot find my own lucidity
And who the hell am I to yell
Before my own transgression
Like feining in disuise
Descending senses or pretending?
I used to have much more than this
Painting the blue eyes
Within delusions, they'll never leave me be
And if I paint my eyes with lies
Please rip'em off and you'll see
Disguise will fail in daylight
And if you eat my feckless lies
Just throw'em up before me
So, who the hell am I to tell you
How to walk your way
When I cannot find my own lucidity
Oh please, I'm on my knees to tell you
What we could have been
But never show me sympathy
In The Fervor's Frontier
All sympathetic eyes
The looks tha seem to stray
Watching round this guise
Starting to decay
I never knew there's someone
Who'd make me understand
I can't believe what's done
My outrageous brand
So tell me why I can't find
The way inside your mind
This shallowness around us
Is making me blind
Tacit creeping on my back
The echo's getting drastic
Sarcastic firebrand in you
Cause I can see what you do
In the fervors frontier with you
Never thought I'd lapse in to
The pitfall of my own
No sympathetic eyes
Much closer to the bone
Silence feeds my anger
Surrounded, but alone
The frontier seems too wide
I've lost it all with hate
When passion dried to anger
Didn't mean to desecrate
Fever Pitch
Random shots, you talk in hate
Apathy in your brain
Aggression all so vain
Lose your cool and innovate
Blind man's heroin they drink
Testosterone, I think
Your insular gate
Of insubstantial faith
Inordinate grate in your brain
Fermentation insane
Knelt before your lord
He makes you feign
So lose you cool
You're just another
Fool of your fever pitch
Boasting the scores
You made last night
Just couldn't get it up
All alone in the tub
And she was no Jenna J.
I think you were with your friends
Sharing DNA
So go insane!
I couldn't careless
What you gain
And lose your cool
You're just another fool
Of your fever pitch
Diamonds Of Mankind
Flashing light-display revolves with easy pace
To illustrate the miner's way
Digging deep within an unbounded maze
To find the reason for their eyes
As the effect kicks in
The view around you starts to spin
Revolution never seen before
Stood up against the world
They had had enough and took no more
A new way in their mind
Thi insane authority must fall
Resign the system's force
They were the people that I'd call
The diamonds mankind
I would preach in the name of free love
If there was someone listening to me
Why all those nice things had to flee?
Cherish life with no restrictions
Inhale the spirit of freedom
And all the worries will be gone
Riot Race
Split open face
Another race for vengeance
For 80 seconds on TV
"Just what he needs
Probably on PCP!"
Four clowns in uniform I see
Let arsonists dance, rage surrounded
Don't need a peephole to your brain
I see your fools, the tools of hypocrites
I know your face, so watch the riot race
Ripped up and fooled
Worshipping, but ruled
No need to create
Brains used in venting hate
Did you just get what you deserved?
A shot to my head
Brutalized by a local fed
Corrupted mind bleeding so white
Watch arsonists rage behind your bow tie
Killing your time in shemale sites
Blindfold yourself and follow
There's too much pride to swallow
When you wallow in your lies
Hide your bluntness in laughter
Aggression growing after
Senseless adoration of your kind
Lubricious Thoughts
Let your mind drift beyond this show
Flowing thoughts below
A grinning face pointing out the place
You want to go to
"Hold on! No lubricious thoughts"
He said with a nice and gentle smile
"Come on! Would you like to know how far this could go?"
Fettered by these lewd means
Fantasy or belief?
What lights up the feeling so bold
Why should I hide away with my soul already sold?
All this concealing unfolds
When you lubricate your mind with dripping gold
Go on! The heat is on
A madman behind his trigger
A ripped mind, naked to the bone
She was left there alone
