| 1. Enter The Moonlight Gate
[Lyrics by Dark, music by Dark and Vassago]
I... I am bewitched by the pale silver-moon
in the black and ancient skies.
Shadows...
I am surrounded by mighty shadows - I am embraced by the night!
I raise my hands to the black skies
as I see the moonlight through |

Вот яркий пример того, как можно получить злую, быструю и брутальную музыку, играя и записывая на довольно приличном уровне. В отличие от того же норвежского блэка, в котором злоба и суровость почему-то всегда достигалась подвальным качеством записи и говеным исполнением (взять тех же Darkthrone, Burzum, Mayhem) шведы Lord Belial использовали совершенно другое направление. Музыка действительно очень брутальная и злая, но в то же время обладает каким-то темным мелодизмом и мощным ураганным напором, который кажется вот-вот должен вас снести со своего пути, но замедляется мелодичными проигрышами. Вокал просто пропитан ненавистью к христианству, что явно отражено в текстах, а также восхваляет демоническую мистику. Вся эта мощь очень удачно сочетается с мелодичными акустическими вставками, которые только добавляют больше мистической атмосферы в музыку, ничуть не облегчая ее. Опять же, повторюсь, все профессионально сыграно и записано очень качественно. Лучший альбом шведских злобарей. |

Где в этом альбоме непомерная брутальность, мне совершенно неясно. Очень хороший забойный, но мелодичный блэк, с красивой живой флейтой, на которой играет дама по имени Lilith (она же, вероятно, подпевает там иногда). Все "неклассические" инструменты замечательно гармонируют с металлической составляющей, не тушуются, но и не вылезают до неестественности. После первого, слишком сырого и действительно прибруталенного альбома "Kiss The Goat" этот слушается легко и на ура. |

Эти бородатые, не измазанные корпспаинтом мужики, с виду очень похожие на Deicide, играют адский блэк метал, сравнимый разве что с Dark Funeral. И, надо сказать, здорово играют, в отличие от тех же Dark Funeral здесь используется акустическая гитара и флейта (или синтезатор?), есть несколько ушераздираюших соло :) Все бы вроде очень хорошо, вот только с наворотами переборщили, скрипка и женский вокал с такой непомерной брутальностью никак не сочетаются. |

Moonlight... I am surrounded by a silvery moonlight
I am embraced by the night
-embraced by the night!!!
Fire... burning through my veins
as my life starts to fade,
my soul leaves the earth, through the winds...
into the night !
Cold winds of hate begins to storm.
Now I am chained inside the walls of eternity.
I will enter the moonlight gate,
I will chant this everlasting night-embracement
I will enter the moonlight gate
- Chaos ... a war between darkness and light
I will open up the skies,
tear all the angels wings and laugh as they die,
there will rain tears and blood from the heavenly paradise
......We will prevail,
In this moon-filled air......
Die!!!!
I... I am bewitched by the pale silver-moon
in the black and ancient skies
Shadows... I am surrounded by mighty shadows
I am embraced by the night
-By the night !
Enter the moonlight gate!!!
2. Unholy Spell Of Lilith
[Lyrics by Dark, music by Dark and Vassago]
Lilith, come forth to me
as I blazon these words
... Shem Ham Forash
Come forth, I summon thee- come forth and make the angels perish, oh Lilith
-They will die crying for their god !
Shem... Ham...Forash
as I blazoned these words of Lilith the midnight skies opened in front of my
eyes
from the aperture in the skies a blaze of evil light was seen - it was the
black light from Lilith that made the angels perish in pain
In the land with the blackened winds
the spirits of the feeble ones will die
abandoned by their weak beliefs, they will die crying for their god
they will die crying for their god in the land with the blackened winds- they
will die
When the angels died blood-red tears fell from the skies
screams of fear echoed in the night- when the angels died
In the land with the blackened winds
the spirits of the feeble ones will die abandoned by their weak beliefs- they
will die
From the aperture in the skies a blaze of evil light was seen - as I blazoned
these words, these words of Lilith; Shem...Ham...Forash
3. Path with Endless Horizons
[Lyrics by Dark, music by Dark and Vassago]
In remembrance of the time when I was free - before the day I was born,
I hated my life
I had to die so that I could be free again, free again... aeon!
I had to die so that I could be free again, free again... aeon!
In remembrance of the time when I was free - before the day I was born I
hated my life I had to die so that I could be free again... aeon
Towards the towers black, to reach my kingdom
towards the towers black, to reach the realms of eternity
I’ve walked a thousand years in an everlasting night on the path with endless
horizons and eternal time. the path with endless horizons, and eternal time!
With the towers of black by my side I summoned shadows and spirits, evil and
storms rain and fire, to come forth and take my soul.
A blaze from the black skies took my earthly life!
...Now I am one with the eternity!
The skies turned to red as the earth started to burn and shiver the rain that
silently poured turned to blood as it reached to the ground
the ground that now was crimson by blood and fire, blood and fire
I gazed into this creation of grimness and evil as my soul became one with
the winds
my eyes turned into stone and my heart became frozen and black - the time had
come for me to die.
I felt coldness and pain, yet I was rejoiced by death ... I now was freed!!!
4. Lamia
[lyrics by Dark, music by Dark and Vassago]
Lamia...
you shall come to me and stand by my side
`till the end of time
Ooh...welcome to my kingdom shrouded in darkness and hate come and make me
immortal Lamia... you’re so beautiful, with your burning face and your body
red of blood
Together we shall reign this world
together we shall spread our wings and fly
we will fly over this land and then they will fear us
`cause they know that they are weaker than us - and so do we and therefor
they must follow us,
or die in eternal pain - to die in the eternal flames - to die in the eternal
flames- die
I will proclaim my powers to all living creatures so come Lamia and join my
dark crusade
the dead will rise from their graves when you call for them - feel your power
and join me
Together we shall reign this world
together we shall spread our wings and fly we will fly over this land and
then they will fear us `cause they know that they are weaker than us - and so
do we and therefor they must follow us, or die in the eternal pain Together
we shall spread our wings and fly
5. Black Winter Blood-Bath
[lyrics by Sin, music by Vassago and Dark]
Once again... these fields I walked for eternity bloodred snow covered my
enemies eyes of ice staring blind on me.
Once again... the voice calls for me to come for my reward - another kingdom
to rule.
Once again... Iґll create a new world and enslave the souls of my enemies as
I’ve done since the birth of time.
... Black Winter Blood-bath !!!
Once again... thousand years has gone the web of time closes in I change into
a crystallised chrysalis - my anger chained until he speaks my name again.
Black Winter Blood-bath!!!
Once again... Armageddon comes closer - Total War! ... Black Winter
Blood-bath!!!
6. Forlorn In Silence
[lyrics by Vassago and Dark, music by Dark]
Silence... Black emptiness... Despair... Dead I am... Infinite darkness and
dreams... My journey begins... Forlorn in silence...
7. Belial- Northern Prince Of Evil
[lyrics by Dark, music by Dark and Vassago]
In the beginning of all time, when I was born
a shadow crawled all over me
the shadow, shadow of the northern son... which filled me with darkness and
majestic hatred
Join the darkness of the northern son ...Belial
I stared onto the dark prince of evil, enwrapped in a black gown a great
malignant shape...with a dark voice as cold as ice
My blood froze when I stared onto this prince of evil ...Belial
Nowadays, thousands of years later I have become one with the darkness in
this mighty kingdom, I obey Belial
He is the lord over all living creatures He shall rule for eternity He is the
master of masters ...Belial
8. Realm Of A Thousand Burning Souls ( Part 1 )
[lyrics by Dark(and Vassago) music by Dark and Vassago]
In the shadow-side of life, in a dark and mystic midwinter-night a child was
born in ice and frost-like fire an immortal child, an evil spirit.
Before his birth he walked this earth with hatred and desires - desires to
crush what he hates. In hell he belongs, like the moon in the sky.
To grant himself what the unknown knows he submerged underneath his earthly
life - underneath the surface of this earth, into the realm of a thousand
burning souls and questioned the elder demons for their ancient wisdom.
"Oh, mighty demons... Evil demons... I am worthy... ...speak upon me and
grant me your knowledge so that I can inherit my throne of fire and reign by
your side"
His eyes started to burn, his blood boiled as a majestic choir spoke upon
him: "Your wish is granted"
He screamed in tongues unto the mighty demons, in rejoice and pain. With the
blood of his very own soul he was baptised in the name of the northern prince
of hell, and of all the unclean spirits.
Immortal he was and demonized he became the prince of darkness was born. The
agitator for the forthcoming humans on earth. Onward to the battle against
the ones he despises and hates, his journey now has begun. In heaven this
victorious battle will end (evil has won) another kingdom will rise from the
earth- the kingdom of a thousand burning souls, humans shall kneel in front
of me- their master, my word will be their law- enslavement! Now the war has
begun, tears and blood falls to the frozen and holy ground, the sounding from
the swords and screams of angels echoes in the war-filled skies Ah... blood
and screams- cries and agony
Demons, I summon you. hear my hail. Come forth and gather here, we have won
this battle is won I spit on their cross, this is my realm with a thousand
burning souls where I shall rule for eternity- it is my destiny!
Let the fire of hell touch the sky!!!
"Spawns of damnation let your spirits fly, sons of darkness hold your banner
high. You divided and conquered, with bejewelled hate
we are the proud ones that crushed the holy gate
we slayed with our swords and our lust
dawn is gone this is the final dusk
burn the angel-wings with the fire of hell drink their holy blood and cast
down a spell
the skies are filled with blood and fire
ooh yes...this is my desire
earth to us, ashes of angels and dust of heaven"
In the shadow-side of life with burning desire
I, Satan’s son, was born in frost-like fire.
In darkness I belong like the moon in the sky.
Witnessed by the almighty god in heaven
drowned in the holy blood of angels
he screamed in blasphemous voice;
I’ve crushed the heavenly paradise- ha!
Silence surrounded him
though he heard some beautiful moaning
a whispering but yet so clear:
"Oh my god, why have you abandoned us"
it was the agonised choir of angels that silently faded away
and god wept, your god wept, your pathetic god wept !!!
