Нет, с этим концертником все далеко не так просто, как можно было бы предположить, при этом равнодушно пожимая плечами и говоря: "Ну, так, это же D.F.". Концертник представляет из себя не совсем то, что я ожидал услышать. Во- первых, он через чур прилизанный. Я думаю, это один из основных недостатков этого релиза. Да-да, это именно недостаток, поскольку при прослушивании складывается впечатление, что это не концерт, а очередной студийный альбом. Лично мне неинтересно слушать концертную запись, при прослушивании которой чувство присутствия на самом концерте отсутствует полностью. Хотя, у деятелей из DF хватило ума оставить хотя бы вопли фанатов (кстати, в конце одной из песен, уже в конце альбома, фэны орут "оле- олеолеоле, Dark Fuuneral"). Вторая проблема- это ударные. Я не понимаю, зачем надо было выводить их на передний план, настолько, что это начинает Бесить. Причем, звучат они так, что чуть ли не заглушают остальные инструменты. Возможно, мОлодцы из DF решили продемонстрировать свое "превосходство" над некоторыми другими группами (читай - основными конкурентами, а какими - догадайтесь сами) и для этого решили врубить так, чтобы у "конкурирующих контор" не осталось бы ни шанса, а другие ударники от злости и разочарования расколошматили свои палочки об голову соседской девочке, или, на худой конец - себе. И третий минус - это как раз то, что парни решили "врубить", то есть сделать то, что у них получается лучше всего. Руководствуясь принципом: "рубать- так рубать", они переиначили свои песни настолько, что, если бы не номера песен и названия на заднике, то можно было бы запросто не узнать даже старые и любимые боевики. Совершенно не понимаю, зачем надо было задавать настолько высокий темп, конечно, у DF есть всего одна среднетемповая вещь (которая, кстати, тоже присутствует на альбоме) и они всегда стремились играть "как можно быстрее и богохульнее" (напоминает коварный план Моргана из Marduk, чуть ли не слово в слово), но, похоже, этот концертник является апогеем Богохульства и Злости, потому что так быстро они еще не звучали, в результате чего, вещи с "The Secrets of the Black Arts" узнать сложно. |

Этот альбом представляет собой Live, записанный (причем качественно) где-то в Южной Америке (по-моему в Перу или Колумбии). Длительностью 62 минуты, вмещает, в принципе, все лучшие (ИМХО) песни шведов. Это первое живое выступление Dark Funeral услышанное мной, и оно, должен сказать, очень меня порадовало. И без того быстрые песни здесь звучат еще быстрее, к тому же звуки толпы сведены до минимума. Для тех, кому нравится Dark Funeral - musthave. |

So gather now my legions, it is time to fight for our lord.
Hail Satan, scream the masses, smeared in angel's blood.
Lords of war, the wings of twelve, open all the gates.
Fly high into the canopy; bring to me the head of god.
Hell lord, unholy father.
Your wish is my command.
I will cut the liar throat; Christian blood will fall to the ground.
Demon legions, fly through the gates.
Into the darkened sky.
Held up high, the spears of evil.
As they run, through angels flesh.
They scream out in pain, as they see their kingdom fall.
Angel tears fall to the ground, as Satan again will reign.
Lords of war, the wings of twelve, open all the gates.
Fly high into the canopy; bring to me the head of god.
Hell lord, unholy father.
Your wish is my command.
I will cut the liar throat; Christian blood will fall to the ground.
3. An Apprentice Of Satan
[Music by Lord Ahriman. Lyrics by Emperor Magus Caligula]
A darkened place beyond the eternal death,
Hung many victims chained lifeless.
Stolen of all their dignity.
The dried blood on her pale skin,
Witness her beliefs.
She's an apprentice of Satan.
The wind is blowing strong from the north.
While the demons force their way through the flames,
To grant her with their wisdom wide.
Inside the circle she feels safe.
She can feel the power grow.
She's an apprentice of Satan.
A sigh echoes through the woods.
Like a winter storm it spread through the maze.
When she's finally embraced by the darkness.
That she has finally welcomed into her:life!!!
The wind, cold as the full moon high in the darkened sky.
Carries a weak fragrance of blood.
She can hear the demons call out her name.
Whispers in the shadows, evil forces everywhere.
The wind is blowing strong in the north.
While the demons force their way through the flames,
To grant her with eternal life.
She's the evil messenger of Satanic beliefs.
She's an apprentice of Satan:.
High in the sky flies the evil apprentice.
She has turned to the dark side.
With her beauty and her power of Satan.
She consumes the dead to get more life.
High above all, stands our evil apprentice.
Now seduced by the dark side.
With the power of Satan,
She will never see the dawn until the end of time.
A darkened place beyond the eternal death,
Hung many victims chained lifeless.
Stolen of all their dignity.
The dried blood on her pale skin witness her beliefs.
She's an apprentice of Satan.
She's an evil apprentice.
4. The Dawn No More Rises
When darkness is upon us, and skies had turned to black
When blood rains from darkened skies and crying angels die
When the sun has burned its last rays and light no more remains
When tears of god stains the ground the dark age has arrived
Lighting strikes the realm of light
Angels burn in flames of fire
Storms from hell embrace the skies
As blackwinged hordes arrive
Infernal winds
Come forth from the byss
Satan rides the winds of wrath
Across the blackened sky
The dawn no more rises
Across the darkened horizons
Light no more shines
Over the kingdom of damnation
When shadows rise upon the earh and the horned one had returned
When light has turned to darkness and heaven has been burned
Lighting strikes the realm of light
Angels burn in flames of fire
Storms from hell embrace the skies
As blackwinged hordes arrive
Infernal winds
Come forth from the byss
Satan rides the winds of wrath
Across the blackened sky
When firestorms consume the earth
And ashes is what's left
Everlasting darkness
Forever shall remain
When the sun no more rises
Over the darkened horizons
When damnation is eternal
The dark age has arrived
The dawn no more rises
Across the darkened horizons
Light no more shines
The dark age has arrived

6. Hail Murder
[Music by Lord Ahriman. Lyrics by Emperor Magus Caligula]
In the dungeon so cold, sits the Nazarene son.
His eyes filled with tears, his soul with fear.
Asking himself, where is my god now?
Preacher of lies, soon to be nailed.
Hail murder, your god of filth wont help you now.
Hail murder, soon to meet the evil one.
Carry your cross, to your own doom.
Meet the people's hatred.
You will die amongst the dirt, where you belong.
Christian blood soon will cover the ground.
As I drive the nails of evil, deep inside.
A crucified whore, that's what you are.
The only crown you have, is one made of thorns.
Hail Murder, your god of filth wont help you now.
Hail murder, soon you to meet the evil one.
Hail murder, as the nails are hammered in deep.
Hail murder, I am the spear in his side.
Carry your cross, to your own doom.
Meet the people's hatred.
You will die amongst the dirt, where you belong.
The demons fly high, they circle above.
Waits for his blood to stop flow, and to collect his soul.
The lord of lies, soon to die.
Thousand of years of pain await.
Hail Murder, your god of filth wont help you now.
Hail murder, soon you to meet the evil one.
Hail murder, as the nails are hammered in deep.
Hail murder, I am the spear in his side.
7. Goddess Of Sodomy
[Music by Lord Ahriman. Lyrics by Emperor Magus Caligula]
Come forth, the goddess of sodomy.
My body is the source of pain, bow.
Worship me.......And suck my soul.
Every single hole in you is mine, so now.
Obey.........
Deep inside, you feel me pulsate.
More and more and more.
I hear you groan, you want me inside.
Again, again, again, again......
You give me pleasure, I offer you pain.
The highest level of ecstasy, sexually insane.
Behind my mask of pretending, I hide.
In my dominion of pain.....
I am your god, I am your believes.
I control your desire, with my godlike white salted wine.
Behind my mask of pretending, I hide.
In my dominion of pain.....
I am the way to the land of your pleasure.
I am the way to your eternal lust......
8. The Secrets Of The Black Arts
Lucifer
Show me the secrets enshrined
The hidden source of eternal wisdom
That dwells within the abyss
Infernal majesty
Guide me in my eternal search
Lead me to the ancient empire
Of dark treasures that once were lost
Lord of darkness
I speak thy name
Bestowe me a vision
From the deeps beyond the flames
Share me the power
Enchant my darkened soul
Grant me the key
To the mysteries
Wandering alone in the hall of damnation
Enlightened by the reflections of the moon
As voices of the night calls my name
I enter the halls of blasphemy
Rites of ancient sorcery unknown
Since the darkest centuries of time
The hidden chambers reveals the past
Engraved in the archways in stone
Demon lord
The apocryphal king of the abyss
Reveal the unholy secrets
Unveil the source of hellish creation
Inferal majesty
I summon the infernal forces
Let the ancient flame burn
Lord - bring us damnation
I'm an enchanter
A disciple of the art aflame
In the depths of my heart
The sigil of satan engraved
Satan
Thou who possess the greather force
I'm thy faithful servant
The words of summoning I recite
Secrets of the black arts
Secrets of the black arts
Secrets of the black arts
Secrets of the black arts
9. Vobiscum Satanas
[Music by Lord Ahriman. Lyrics by Emperor Magus Caligula.]
VOBISCUM SATANAS.
CURSED NAZARENE, IMPOTENT KING.
BEHOLD GREAT SATANAS.
AS HE DRIVES HIS NAILS DEEPER
INTO THY HANDS.
THE WEAK FUGITIVE GOD EYES,
CRIES HOLY TEARS OF BLOOD.
AS THE EVIL ONE, PRESS DOWN
HIS CROWN OF THORN.
EGO VOS BENEDICTIO.
IN NOMINE MAGNI DEI NOSTRI SATANAS.
AVE SATANAS.
AVE DOMINI INFERNI.
OH, CRUSIFIED NAZARENE,
WHERE ARE YOUR POWERS NOW.
WHEN YOU ARE FACEING, THE GREATER FORCE.
CURSED NAZARENE, IMPOTENT KING.
BEHOLD THEE, GREAT SATANAS.
10. Shadows Over Transylvania
[Music & Lyrics by Lord Ahriman & Blackmoon]
Moonlight - descends in the land of the shadows
The cold moon is rising, over blood red skies
Wolves - cries in the freezing night
Gathered in the twilight, to summon the master below.
Rising shadows -over blood red skies
Mournful cries - through the darkened night
Darkness - spreads in a shape of evil
Over the rising kingdom of Transylvania
Shadows - surrounds the ancient castle
The palace of death far away where no light exist
In the realms of Transylvania
The purest blood shall flow
The mortals shall please
The hunger of the undead souls
Shadows - over Transylvania
Darkness - in the land of frost
Whispers - in the winds of evil
Storms - in the blood red skies
11. Open The Gates
[Music & Lyrics by Lord Ahriman & Blackmoon]
Oh, mighty lord of the evil realm
Open the gates to your dominion
Save me from this holy light
That makes me suffer like a pig
Satan lead me to your throne
And make me one with hell
I kneel before you dark lord
And swear the unholy oath
Unholy master Satan - make my wish come true
Open wide your kingdom-where all the evil rule
Lord of hell possess my soul
With thousand mad and insane demons
Lock up, the seven gates
And bring out your infernal legions
Lucifer - lead me to your throne
Satan - bless my damned soul
Belial - baptize me in blood
Leviathan - take me to the depths
Open the gates - Satan
Open the gates - Satan
Open the gates - Satan
Open the gates - Satan
Master-cast your spell on earth
Curse the waek disciples, their holy soul must burn
Lord of fire - consume the holy lord
Your black flame of damnation shall purify the world
Lucifer - let the cursed soul burn
Satan - make fire consume the world
Belial - sacrifice thy holy blood
Leviathan - show their lord your wrath
Open the gates - Satan
Open the gates - Satan
Open the gates - Satan
Open the gates - Satan
12. Ineffable Kings Of Darkness

13. Thus I Have Spoken
[Music by Lord Ahriman. Lyrics by Emperor Magus Caligula]
Hear me now; let this be the day of reckoning.
The gauntlet has been thrown, and the challenge is met.
With death-rattle chains, and brimstone from below.
I will come with black-hearted rage, and eyes of burning coal.
Let the fire burn and blood flow, let skulls and bones tower up to the heavens.
Cloaked in shimmering stellar glow, radiant with the cosmic light I will come...
From the liquid darkness I appear,
My unholy fire is needed to cleanse this world.
Free from my cursed bounds,
I once again will trample the earth.
Bound to evil, carrier of Satan's mark.
Wherever I will walk, the world will tremble.
Thus I have spoken, thus shall it be....
Chaos swallows the earth when I release my Christian hatred,
A hatred older than memory.
I move across the worlds like a dark plague,
Across boundaries unseen.
I ask for the gates to open,
And for my legions to be set free....
I call upon the power of darkness, form and shadow.
I call upon the power of the elder ones, whose fate is bound to mine.
I call upon master Satan, give shadow form and lend me your eyes.
Grant me your crystal vision, and teach me what you would have seen.
The chain of Christian force is broken,
And the great darkness is loosened upon this world.
Thus I have spoken, thus shall it be...
14. My Dark Desires
[Music & Lyrics by Blackmoon. Lyrics By Blackmoon & Themgoroth]
Father
I call your name upon the furious winds
I'm possessed by the spiritual strenght of hell
In the chamber of my dark heart a black flame burns
Satan
I summon the horned one from the abyssmal kingdom
Grant me the darkened unholy power
To please my evil wicked lust
Whispering forbidden names upon the skies
Guide me through the pathways to a kingdom of fire
Nightfall embreces my desperate cries
As I fulfill my dark desires
The coverted hour has finally arrived
The year when darkness over skies descends
When lightning strikes the highest mountain
And open up the path to the forbidden hades
My dark desires
My dark desires
My dark desires
My dark desires
Satan - take my soul to hell
I must burn in the unholy flames
Satan - take my soul to hell
I must burn to purify my weak soul
Father
I call your name upon the furious winds
I'm possessed by the spiritual strenght of hell
In the chamber of my dark heart a black flame burns
Satan
I summon the horned one from the abyssmal kingdom
Grant me the darkened unholy power
To please my evil wicked lust
Whispering forbidden names upon the skies
Guide me through the pathways to a kingdom of fire
Nightfall embreces my desperate cries
As I fulfill my dark desires
"If I start murdering people...there would be non of you left"
Bring damnation upon my soul !!!
My dark desires
My dark desires
My dark desires
My dark desires
15. Armageddon Finally Comes
[Music by Lord Ahriman. Lyrics by Emperor Magus Caligula]
The earth quakes, and the seas are rising.
As the warlock look deep into the flames.
The fire of evil, are reflected in his abysmal eyes.
As he calls upon the ancient ones.
I call upon thee, keeper of the darkest flame.
To drink from the chalice of souls.
I call upon thee, king of all beasts.
Lord of the hunt, silent stalker of the night.
I call upon thee, keeper of all hatred and anguish.
The one who holds the cosmic pain.
I call upon thee, custodian of the infernal legions.
God of war and the hatred storms.
The sky spit flames, Armageddon has come.
The wrath of Satan descends upon this mortal world.
Men revert to beasts, suicidal despair for his glory.
Every mind is clutched in terror,
As a vortex of evil surrounds the warlock flames.
The legions of Satan trample through the flames.
The earth is scared and burned like dead skin.
Angels blood smirched the Nazarene divine kingdom.
Armageddon finally comes.
The wind carry ashes and the smell of burned flesh,
The rivers are filled with blood.
The mortals are captured in an irreversible strife for their souls,
Against the unyielding forces of..........EVIL........
Armageddon finally comes.
Angels weep, as they slowly sink down the spears.
Their kingdom is gone, now ruled by the cloven hooves.
Once again the Nazarene whore is nailed,
But this time no devotees are left behind.
