The beast is rising
21st century killing machine
A terror from below
Unchained, awake and ready to kill
Hometown apocalypse
Rise of a monster catastrophe
Tomorrow's heaven
Where all do follow the ecstasy of gold

Дебютный альбомчик с таким названием не мог стать "лажей" изначально. С места в карьер, так сказать: все очень мощно, технически превосходно, мелодично: ритм-секция просто на высоте, риффы сносят башню, короткие, но очень острые соло-партии гитары, впечатляющий гроулинг, кстати, буклет можно не листать, слова понятны и воспринимаются на слух легко и непринужденно. Самый главный элемент данной музыки - ее интересность, она не заставляет заскучать, ее интересно слушать и наслаждаться ею. У меня, например, при прослушивании данного диска в голове появляются картины эдакого танка, который прет на меня, а вокруг кости, трупы, короче, полный хаос и ужас, а этот танк все едет и едет и не собирается останавливаться. Звук очень плотный, современный и четкий. Я промолчу про запись, сведение и оформление диска, так как все выполнено выше всяких похвал. Отличный альбом для любителей современного мясца, но и с привкусом классического мяса. Так что «ЗачОт», как модно нынче говорить. |

Дебютник этой шведской группы с немного забавным названием может как надолго осесть в проигрывателе слушателя, так и быть сразу же использованным в качестве подставки для кофе. Все зависит от того, успели ли вы «накушаться» шведского дэта или голод все еще чувствуется. В целом, работа вышла вполне добротной. И уровень игры, и запись, и оформление – все на вполне таком стандартно приличном уровне. Но при этом целый час подобной музыки лично мне было слушать скучновато. Музыканты стараются, как выпускники музыкальной школы на экзамене: «А я еще вот так могу, и вот так тоже!», при этом не вкладывая ни капли души в то, что собственно играется. Да, есть здесь и милые соло, и тщательно продуманные барабаны, и достаточно приятные мелодии, но преподносится это так вымученно, что уже к середине альбома приходится напрягаться, чтобы дотянуть до конца. Может быть, отчасти тому виной нудный голос вокалиста, который способен своим гроулингом просто усыпить. А может быть, сделала свое дело и запись – вполне грамотная, но несколько глуховатая и к тому же уж слишком «шведская». Приятные плюсы – симпатичная обложка, достаточно интересные тексты и состоящая из видеоклипа мультимедиа-секция. В общем, любителям «правильного» шведского дэта может и понравится… (Диск предоставлен компанией Irond) |

The Crown знают и помнят (наверное) в массе своей большая часть юзеров сего (и подобных ему) ресурса. Несколько альбомов той команды были и остаются культовыми и статусными для жанра мелодичного дэта. После распада группы ее вокалист (и центровой) Johan Lindstrand собрал новую группу и продолжил славное дело мертвенного метала.
Ну вот.
“Армия одного и квартет не мертвых” представляет собой сплав отборного шведского дэт-метала + милитаристский бьющий трэш а-ля Sodom. Более того, связь с немецкими кондовыми трэшерами еще и в том, что тематика у данного коллектива вполне общая: война, смерть, геноцид с суицидом и прочие прелести из выпусков новостей.
Что сразу выделю: открывающий трек «Killing Machine» - великолепный образчик всего того, что и продолжит творить группа далее. В целом суперская атмосфера и плотнейший шквал саунда от ритм-секции. Не знаю, чего тут больше: трэша или дэта. Вокал Линдстранда - то, что надо для подобной музыки. Один минус - плоховата запись (видимо дело в спешке подготовки релиза): звучит грубовато и ватно. В сравнении с последующими альбомами мне тут явно не хватает атаки. Но все равно, она вполне на приличном уровне.
Отмечу еще и классную обложку. В остальном - очень крепкий зачОт. Данная группа вошла (вместе с Dark Tranquillity и Hypocrisy) в мой топ для дэт-метала. |

Still searching for souls that will never betray
Revolution - all the victims come to real life
Future annihilation
21st century killing machine
M-60 bullet raid
Purely nothing against the undead
You're the devils playground
Embraced and choked are you ready to die
To the world of the dead seen through your eyes
Still marching on a mission in blood
Such power takes on the world
Still searching for souls that will never betray
Revolution - all the victims come to real life
All hail the army - the dead alive
All hail the army - the dead alive
The mean machine is coming for you all
Say your prayers mother fuckers!
'Cause I won't
The beast is rising Lyrics
21st century killing machine
A terror from below
Unchained, awake and ready to kill
Hometown apocalypse
Rise of a monster catastrophe
Tomorrow's heaven
Where all do follow the ecstasy of gold
Still marching on a mission in blood
Such power takes on the world
Still searching for souls that will never betray
Revolution - all the victims come to real life
Mission in blood!
Takes on the world!
Still marching on a mission in blood
Such power takes on the world
2. Devil On The Red Carpet
Nights grow dim
I'm soakin' wet and afraid
A loaded might
Heading towards my innocence
Diggin' my foxhole
Hiding from what can't be hid from
The fright is so bright
It burrows through my brain
I'm gods favourite child 'ya know
Like dump I'm hading for the pit
A black tank in my sight
Is it the devil or jehova mighty?
Fuelled on fury
Searching, destroying, breeding the dead
I'm gods favourite child 'ya know
Like dump I'm hading for the pit
Love and romance, just a dream in the shadow of Christ
Devil on the red carpet singing out the pleasures of sin
Lust and freedom, frozen in this winter home of hell
Stuck in a void where dead bodies hold me warm
Nights grow dim
I'm soakin' wet and afraid
A loaded might
Heading towards my innocence
Diggin' my foxhole
Hiding from what can't be hid from
The fright is so bright
It burrows through my brain
I'm gods favourite child 'ya know
Like dump I'm hading for the pit
Love and romance, just a dream in the shadow of Christ
Devil on the red carpet singing out the pleasures of sin
Lust and freedom, frozen in this winter home of hell
Stuck in a void where dead bodies hold me warm
Deep within my soldier mind a ghost appears
It's you in a white dress, dead like me
Time - time for the wicked
Now it's time - yeah, time for the wicked
To ravish your souls
I'm gods favourite child 'ya know
Like dump I'm hading for the pit
Love and romance, just a dream in the shadow of Christ
Devil on the red carpet singing out the pleasures of sin
Lust and freedom, frozen in this winter home of hell
Stuck in a void where dead bodies hold me warm
3. Public Enemy No. 1
You think you are on top
Against all odds you've made it
But life ain't that easy baby
Death is giving you a fright
In the mist of the night
A lot of commotion is spread
Someone is diggin' the graves
Someone's preparing murder
One of these days, mark my words
A demon in neon will flash your eyes
Public enemy no. 1 will fuck with your head
Forever and ever, nothing is never
Young and wasted
Too blind to see this mess
Stabbed and stabbed again
Do the star shine that bright?
I've ride the rollercoaster
Still got nothing to prove
Still don't give a shit!!
Cause the fire still burns
One of these days, mark my words
A demon in neon will flash your eyes
Public enemy no. 1 will fuck with your head
Forever and ever, nothing is never
I'm the devil in disguise
Ready for the golden rebirth
The devil in disguise
Ready for some piece of the action
A one man army
Crushing all in my way, oh yeah
I am satan from hell
And you mean nothing to me
I am satan from hell
Tomorrow I'll fuck you up
[Solo]
One of these days, mark my words
A demon in neon will flash your eyes
Public enemy no. 1 will fuck with your head
Forever and ever...
One of these days, mark my words
A demon in neon will flash your eyes
Public enemy no. 1 will fuck with your head
Forever and ever, nothing is never
4. No Apparent Motive
We've got unfinished business you and I
Yeah, something is stalking your head
Find it, tear it down, inhale it's prophecy
Release the steel that lies behind the seal
You need this, c'mon and stand on your own two feet
You've dreamt it, make it real
You're the monster, the monster of all raging monsters
You're the love, true love at the midnight hour
Steady as a rock, smiling with blood in my hands
It feels so good watching the wasteland grow
Yeah, it pounds my head real hard, you're right my love
This sweet pain makes me do it no other way
You need this, c'mon and stand on your own two feet
You've dreamt it, make it real
You're the monster, the monster of all raging monsters
You're the love, true love at the midnight hour
The midnight hour
Midnight
Midnight
Midnight - the midnight hour
Yeah, with no apparent motive I snatch the lives of you
Good deed immunity - a madman living his dream
[Solo]
With only death in mind I make you disappear
And as I ride the universe no one conquers my fall
[Solo]
I need this, c'mon see me stand on my own two feet
I've dreamt it, now it's real
I'm the monster, the monster of all raging monsters
I'm the love, true love at the midnight hour
The midnight hour
Love and hate 'til death do us part
5. Hell Is For Heroes
So many times so rough
A 44 against an empty cell
Can I get any lower?
Someone's preventing passion
Why can't I feel joy?
Marked by natures choice
Early morning bleeding
Someone's preventing me
No more
Standing in the shades
No more
24/7 misery
Standing on a silver plate
Burning and still you throw gasoline
Increasing this pain I so "deserve"
But I'm stronger than you
In fire I'm going against the grain
Do you feel threatened punk!?
Hey! I do what the fuck I wanna do
None of you will see the world as I do
No more
Standing in the shades
I am
V.i.p. no longer low
24/7 misery
oh yeah!
You've got that right! Hell is for heroes
Cold blood keeps poring down
Way down satisfaction bounds
No more
Standing in the shades
I am
V.i.p. no longer low
24/7 misery
oh yeah!
You've got that right! Hell is for heroes
Heroes
Heroes
Heroes live
6. When Hatred Comes To Life
Over your shoulders
They're breathing down your neck
So cold and deceiving
Crusade of christian perversions
Heaven's ejection
We're the free and afflicting ones
With a burning mind apart
Empty and shattered souls
You put my heart in darkness
You made the sky turn black
You made hell, you made me
Abusing amusement down the dumps
Revolution in progress
Worldwide devastation unfolds
Destroying what that dog has "built"
The hatred turns on christ
Black souls outnumbered
Still getting stronger and stronger
Let's show those fuckers we're made of steel
And we take no shit!!!
You put my heart in darkness
Now it's payback time
Freedom in the black society
Storm of hatred
When darkness comes to town
Feel it in your bones baby
As we stand and as we fight
The power of the mind relieves this pain
Relieves this pain
Fall into the dirt of truth
Avenge the bitter peace
Dance on the face of the holy
Lady in white so helpless in red
So helpless in red
Feel it coming
Guiding you through the rough times
It's bigger than god
[Solo]
When hatred comes to life - it comes to take control
Piece by piece we take control - when hatred comes to life
When hatred comes to life - like an angel from above
We shall all live again!!!
This is the way of the real world
My empire of dirt grows warm in my heart
It all comes down to survival
Living through hatred to achieve your love
7. So Grim So True So Real
Master surgeon-playing, masturbating
Demonstrating his unholy powers
Blood brothers pouring out in research
Laboratory rats - left in the lurch
The mind is burning
Dirty pale face is shining
Zombies hunger for the flesh
Mad laughter of royal triumph
Sick way of showing love
Dead people in the kings care
So grim so true so real
Cold fact is melting, heaven turns to hell
So grim so true so real
Unfold warmachine, untold lovin' feelin'
[Solo]
Infernal magic, operating internally
Hearts freezing, friends can't be found
War takes us down, standing all alone
So greet me no more, I'll soon cut your fuckin' throat
So grim so true so real
Cold fact is melting, heaven turns to hell
So grim so true so real
Unfold warmachine, untold loving feeling
The old man's playing with dolls
Forcing the needle in real hard
Breaking down the circus of man
Maybe next time he'll get this shit right
[Solo]
Master surgeon-playing, masturbating
Demonstrating his unholy powers
The mind is burning
Dirty pale face is shining
Zombies hunger for the flesh
Mad laughter of royal triumph
Sick way of showing love
Dead people in the kings care
So grim so true so real
Cold fact is melting, heaven turns to hell
So grim so true so real
Unfold war machine, untold lovin' feelin'
8. Behind The Church
What's going on in the woods behind your sleep?
Do you see? Do you dare to see?
Day walkers in a constant darkness
Trembling thoughts as the jackal's conceiving
The devil's rising one more time
Dead moon over Bethlehem
Good old Nick is etching through your skin
"Pleasuring" your inner soul
"From the eternal sea he rises
Creating armies on either shores
Turning man against his brother
Till man exists no more"
No hope but the freedoms dope
Abandon the mighty and the holy
No hope but the freedoms rope
Turn off the lights - the end of the line
What's going on in the woods behind the church?
Everyone knows, yet no one seems to know
A bizarre incident - infiltration of the blackened gift
Awake but still not, adapting to a new world order
The devil's rising one more time
Dead moon over Bethlehem
What's going on in the woods behind the church?
Nobody knows, nobody dares to know
A bizarre incident in the wilderness of black
All night long, all day short
The devil's rising one more time
Dead moon over Bethlehem
9. Branded By Iron
Being alive
Or lie dead rotting
Nobody really gives a shit
Throw the dice
And shut the fuck up
Either way you're meeting the book
Yeah, you're next in line
And you're heading for the house of pain
Destined by lies and greed
In the ghetto all over again
We're all branded by iron
The final countdown has begun
Yeah, we're all branded by iron
Make a difference and kill yourself
The road to hell and freedom
Being rich
Or beg in the ditch
Do you wanna die slow or fast?
Start diggin' your hole!
And shut down your heart!
Cause the black rain will soon hit us all
Yeah, you're next in line
And you're heading for the house of pain
Destined by lies and greed
In the ghetto all over again
We're all branded by iron
The final countdown has begun
Yeah, we're all branded by iron
Make a difference and kill yourself
The road to liberation
Machinegun Joe walking tall
Shooting friends and family down
Mad unrecognizable human deeds
Blood runs inside the flames of hell
Men are falling like leaves
The process of extinction
Yeah, you're next in line
And you're heading for the house of pain
Destined by lies and greed
In the ghetto all over again
We're all branded by iron
The final countdown has begun
Yeah, we're all branded by iron
Make a difference and kill yourself
The road to hell and freedom
Liberation
Celebration
Oh yeah!
10. Bulldozer Frenzy
I'm under attack
This sickness is reaching for me
It's getting under my skin
This insect must be terminated
Yeah, I like you better dead
You demon off the leach
And as the rotted flesh is aging
This world is getting nicer
So don't question my motive
You're the reason I fucked up
Don't question this mayhem
You're the reason of anger
Unleashed and justified
Bulldozer Frenzy
Over and over again
I'm so confused
A loud noise penetrating my ears
This virus is killing my brain
Mutha fucka die!!
Yeah, I like you better dead
You demon of the leach
And now as I piss on your grave
This world is getting nicer
So don't question my motive
You're the reason I fucked up
Don't question this mayhem
You're the reason of anger
Unleashed and justified
Bulldozer Frenzy
Over and over again
11. The Sweetness Of Black
Seven years of sterility, I was the puppet of malignant divinity
Engaged by rules and rats, the factory slime was powdering my mind
Salvation was beyond reach, reading death on the menu
This breakdown of mine made even bitterness flee reality
From the day you're born death is just around the corner
Follows your every step - the sweetness of black
[Solo]
Was this his wish, this hell of pain, pushin' me thin in the name of god
With machines grinding love, I was lost in paradise
But as I looked up at the burning sky the darkness started feeding me
It was the call of the wild - a restart in self esteem
From the day you're born death is just around the corner
Follows your every step - the sweetness of black
[Solo]
I feel dead but the tunnel of light I see not
I feel bad, yes the pleasures are there for me to take
I feel dead but the tunnel of light I see not
I feel bad, yes the pleasures are there for me to take
[Solo]
'Cause I'm a livewire on the rocks
Livewire on the rocks
Livewire on the rocks
Livewire on the rocks
Livewire on the rocks
Livewire on the rocks
12. Mary's Raising The Dead
Damaged lives
With two evil eyes they stare at me
Stone cold stupidity
Whores of a better tomorrow?
Liquid babe on their tongues
Sick become ill
Brats and rats everywhere
Am I supposed to owe you for this fucked up shit?
Disturbing the priest
The way I have preached in my free speech of choice
Raging pit-bull of the leach
Violators on ground zero
Impressing, depressing
Role model rebel gets burned
This touch of hysteria
Closing my cage to total solitude
Hail Mary full of shit
Deep within the circle of life
Mary's raising the dead
Within the innocence an purity
Mary's raising the dead
Spawn of Satan marches into glory
As Mary's raising the dead
Close within the circle of life
Mary's raising the dead
No bright light, the infinity is absolute black
A hard day's pain, long days of nightmare fades
A lot of fuckin' turbulence, emotions no sweet
A volcanic promotion cutting my throat wide open
The dog was looking down, infesting my nest
I pleaded to be left alone, without you and him
I did my thing but the retards were eating me alive
Dizzy and confused I marched into darkness
Slave to the system
Longing for deaths hand
Funeral rebirth
You sons of bitches I will travel in your minds
You don't know what sorrows you've enclosed
You choked me, now I choke you, feel it coming bitch
Yeah, face the mirror you accident of god, ghost of me
Get ready to run downhill, I'll be waiting for you
Deep within the circle of life
Mary's raising the dead
Within the innocence an purity
Mary's raising the dead
Spawn of Satan marches into glory
As Mary's raising the dead
Close within the circle of life
Mary's raising the dead
