| 1. Deception
I have seen the blackened sky.
A place where immortal people seems to die.
I don't belive in Jesus Christ, but Lord I'm seeking Paradice.
I hesitate.
Your're chasing shadows from the past.
Why are you looking back?
Deceptive ways are hard to lead.
Loosing track?

Удивительно, но возраст участников на момент записи альбома был от 16 до 21 года, а материал они выдали просто потрясающий! Platitude стал, пожалуй, главным шведским открытием начала XXI века (пусть это и слишком громко сказано). Среди основных влияний группы — традиционные шведские герои: Yngwie Malmsteen, Europe, Majestic и более прогрессивные группы вроде Symphony X.
Дебютный альбом группы был записан совместно со знаменитым продюсером Tommy Hanssen'ом в Jailhouse Studios (Helloween, Pretty Maids, Beyond Twilight) в Дании. Я бы особенно выделил композиции в конце диска — с 7-й по 10-ю, как ни странно. В любом случае, как бы там ни было, в целом пластинка, несомненно, слушается на ура!
Сразу же после релиза была достигнута договорённость о выпуске этого альбома в Японии (King Records), где молодую команду считают металлическими богами будущего! Два гитариста, два клавишника, один великолепный вокалист, прекрасное музыкальное чутьё и самый широкий мелодический спектр (Toni Martin vs Ronnie J Dio) — вот что такое Platitude, новое слово на металлической сцене! |

Перед нами - молодые ребята, всерьез увлеченные пауэр/хэви-металом с некоторой долей неоклассики и ощутимым влиянием Sonata Arctica и Yngwie Malmsteen. Впрочем, Platitude звучит даже поинтереснее упомянутых музыкантов, не скатываясь ни в киндергартен-метал, ни в бесконечные неоклассические поливы. К слову, о поливах: бОльшая их часть - дело рук клавишников, коих в группе аж целых два, но выполнены клавишные проходы с чувством меры и отнюдь не утомляют и не мешают восприятию песен. Обращает на себя внимание и не по годам зрелый вокал Эрика Бломквиста, добавляющий Platitude солидности. Особой запоминаемостью материал не отличается, но иногда, как в «Anima» и «Raining Tears», парням удаются вполне цепляющие мелодии, показывающие, что потенциал у команды есть. |

Will we travel on?
Chains around my feet.
I won't get to where I want.
I was sent here by the dark.
The quest, to lead a child on the bridge of life.
But my demons built the bridge.
So Evil now will take its vengeance
Breaking it!
You're chasing shadows from the past...
Why does my road feel so long? ...
[SOLO]
I have seen the blackened sky.
A place where immortal people seems to die.
I don't believe in Jesus Christ, but Lord I'm seeking Paradise.
I hesitate
You're chasing shadows from the past...
Why does my road feel so long? ...
2. Just One Try
You cried out. This is what I'm proposing.
Please stay with me. I'm yours forever.
This is your life, just one try.
No one will live forever.
Let it be done, 'cause tomorrow you're gone.
Just don't change your mind for me my love.
Don't live in lies for me, my love.
If this is love, we're committed forever.
Signs from above. Will get us nowhere.
This is your life, just one try.
No one will live forever.
We will be one, 'cause tomorrow you're gone.
Just don't change your mind for me my love.
Don't live lie for me, my love.
[SOLO]
Please tell me the truth, before it's too late.
You are my hope. Please kill my hate.
This is your life, just one try.
No one will live forever.
Let it be done, 'cause tomorrow you're gone.
Don't change your mind for me my love.
Don't live in lies for me, my love.
[SOLO]
3. Dance Thru The Fire
You've been wandering thru' your life
Without a broubled mind.
Waiting for a revelation. But goodness made you blind.
I see a burning flame.
It glows like the faces of the failed, when the night is falling.
You have never turned around to face the blackened skies.
Ages of deception will haunt you. You'll sacrafice.
I see a living hope.
I wonder if this will wake you up. From that evil...
...Nightmare...Nightmare...
You will wreath in fortune till that day wyour time will end.
Then your burning soul will be destroyed by evil.
I see a living hope.
I wonder if this will wake you up. From that evil...
...Nightmare...Nightmare...
[SOLO]
I see a burning flame.
It glows like the faces of the failed, when the night is falling.
...Nightmare...Nightmare...
You'll wake up from your nightmare.
Face the devil - look him in the eyes.
Your time will end.
4. Memories
The night was cold and gray. The night you turned away.
The love lost that night, won't leave a hope in sight.
Today I realize. You turned my heart to ice.
The cold that sticks in me is not that heavenly.
You said I hurt you so, that I just couldn't stay.
Believe me, I would never be that way.
You made me see that life is not a misery.
Leading nowhere.
You just turned away from me.
Away from something that was meant to be.
We were dreaming.
I saw our last chance die. It happened, I wonder why.
Could our love disappear? It's far away I fear.
Love's like a dream for some.
Althought it marks you when it fades away.
You made me see that life is not a misery.
Leading nowhere.
You just turned away from me.
Away from something that was meant to be.
We were dreaming.
[SOLO]
You made me see that life is not a misery.
Leading nowhere.
You just turned away from me.
Away from something that was meant to be.
We were dreaming.
5. Anima
I'm standing alone in a dark cold room.
Without you in my arms.
How could you turn away from me?
You tear my heart apart.
My life was a lie before I met you.
A joke as you would say.
Believe in me, I am trying to make it better.
The love we had is hidden in your soul.
A place I want to be.
I'd die here.
I'm dying here
So many ways to fall out of love
To step into the trap
Where are you now, 'cause I need you so?
No place on the map
My life was a lie before I met you.
A joke as you would say.
Believe in me, I am trying to make it better.
[Bridge:]
The love we had is hidden in your soul.
A place I want to be.
I'd die here.
I'm dying here
[SOLO]
I'd die here.
I'm dying here.
6. Last Sunset
My end of time will come soon. So they say.
My time is running up. My final play.
I've shed some tears, but for no use.
Physical dead, but my soul you'll abuse.
You try to kill me.
I'll never die.
Time is running, life slips away.
Vengeance is nearing, face the truth.
What can I do, I've been locked up since long.
I'm innocent, this is totally wrong.
Voices I hear are complaints of my crime.
You are all fools, don't waste your time.
You cry for vengeace.
I know the truth.
Time is running, life slips away.
Vengeance is nearing, face the truth.
[SOLO]
I'm not afraid of your mind-breaking game.
Nor for the death angel's furious flame.
Voices I hear are complaints of my crime.
You are all fools, don't waste your time.
You try to kill me.
I'll never die.
Time is running, life slips away.
Vengeance is nearing, face the truth.
7. Raining Tears
Darkness is surrounding.
The air is filled with screams.
There's a chance that you will die
'Cause this is not a dream
The darkness if this world is clearer when it rains.
But the mystic lights that bring out the hope won't
Shine in vain.
It's a hopeless fire that burns in the night.
Don't call me a liar.
I'm where darkness rules.
Blood was shed and dreams were crushed. Heaven was falling.
Magic tales of happiness, no longer told.
It's a hopeless fire that burns in the night.
Don't call me a liar.
I'm where darkness rules.
It's a magic mirror that fooled friends i knew.
Don't try to deny it.
Just look through its glass.
[SOLO]
Gight with soul and you will see, the dark surrenders.
Like a bird up in the tree, it flies away.
You know knowledge is the key to stay alive.
Those magic, raining tears won't help you.
If you die.
It's a hopeless fire that burns in the night.
Don't call me a liar.
I'm where darkness rules.
8. Secrets Of Life
In ancient times, this world startedto.
Create itself from an empty piece of nothingness
This makes no sense to our minds.
We have no clue to this mystery.
We'll never understand.
The secrets of life.
So I'll just have to find my own way.
We got our lives from the sun, and down here.
Forests and lakes and the virtue of our Mother Earth.
Out of the sky the rain fall down.
To where it once had been before.
We'll never understand.
The secrets of life.
So I'll just have to find my own way.
[SOLO]
Follow yoursteps and you'll find, who you are.
The unknown ways are inside your mind. Open it!
Through burning mist I'll see your world.
It is so strange and yet so divine.
We'll never understand.
The secrets of life.
So I'll just have to find my own way.
That's the secret of life.
The secrets of life.
9. Illusions
You're lost inside yourself.
Trying to find out.
Why am I chainedin misery?
I'm seeking wisdom.
'Cause I know knowledge is the key.
The key to open our hearts to see what there's to be.
I search my mind.
Who's been there?
Who stole my thoughts?
I live in lies.
Don't try to change my mind
Don't try to change my mind
Fading lights surround my head.
I'm getting weary.
Are these illusions maybe real?
I'm seeking wisdom,
'Cause I know knowledge is the key.
The key to open our mind to see that there's to be.
I search my mind.
Who's been there?
Who stole my thoughts?
I live in lies.
Don't try to change my mind
Don't try to change my mind
[SOLO]
I search my mind.
Who's been there?
Who stole my thoughts?
I live in lies.
Don't try to change my mind.
Never try to...
Don't try to change my mind.
10. Evil Sky
Standing here, out in the dark.
No sign of Heaven.
All the hope has dissapeared.
Burned up in flames.
The rain is pouring down.
Washing me, free from sin.
No one will ever know.
There is no hope, and death is closing up.
I'll fight until I drop.
I'll turn away, to face the evil sky.
T'll stand there petrified
My body is as cold as ice.
I start to shiver.
Far away from Paradice.
Is where I am.
The rain is pouring down.
Washing me, free from sin.
No one will ever know.
There is no hope, and death is closing up.
I'll fight until I drop.
I'll turn away, to face the evil sky.
I'll stand there petrified
[SOLO]
The rain is pouring down.
Washing me, free from sin.
No one will ever know.
There is no hope, and death is closing up.
I'll fight until I drop.
I'll turn away, to face the evil sky.
I'll stand there petrified
