Очередной шмат неплохого мяса бельгийской нарезки. В уши сразу бросается поменявшийся звук - несколько шероховатый и абразивный саунд прошлого релиза "Reticulated" уступил место жирному и чистому. Под стать звуку изменилось и наполнение диска - композиции утратили былую хаотичность и свирепую непредсказуемость, хриплый вопль уступил место низкому гроулингу, общий темп треков заметно снизился, появились паузы, рядом с бластбитовыми секциями присутствует любимый некоторыми кач. Минус ли это? Нет, вся былая безумность компенсируется довольно интересными... хм, не назвал бы это полноценными мелодиями, скорее это местами довольно замысловатые и наталкивающие на мысли о джазе музыкальные текстуры (бас играет не последнюю роль), которые, накладываясь на жесткий каркас, создают довольно необычную для брутального дэта модель. По крайней мере, мне показалось так. А в предпоследней песне можно услышать электронный фон, что идет в актив. У этих товарищей есть в запасе ходы, добавляющие музыке атмосферности.
Девятым номером идет короткий спокойный инструментал, сыгранный на акустике. Не знаю, может, сейчас у брутальных групп модно делать акустические передышки посреди изматывающего забега? Хотя, пожалуй, общей картины это не испортило. Завершается альбом маршеподобным аутро, в котором есть что-то первобытное и племенное.
Не стану причислять это творение к типичным образцам брутального дэта, ибо в альбоме чувствуется некоторый налет атмосферности.
Альбом неплох, хотя поклонникам двух первых вряд ли понравится. |

Black to the blind and blue and gold to the seeing
Through the abyss we rise to illuminate ourselves
Unless thou hearest not, thou canst not see
Unless thou seest not, thou canst not hear
Ye are not seeing! Ye are not hearing!
Ye shall be as ye are and not other; be thyself
There is a silence in my universe of exquisite magnitude
The strength of my thoughts shall be the beauty of it's splendorous glory
Anochi Kofer
Lust is the constant undercurrent of life
transmutations float in haunting gracefulness
You stand, you laugh, you don't understand
I am not the mouth for your ears
The experience of exposing oneself to this
Veritable euphoria and ethereal dimensions
Stimulates a greater sense of the magnificence
To enact the tantric deeds portrayed therein
follow your pleasure to the fullest extent
injected with the artistry and ecstasy of the heretic
golden living dreams of visions, mystic crystal revelations
and the mind's true liberation
dawning of the new...dawning of the new age!
Telesis
mighty and erect is this will of mine, rays of light illuminate me from within
blue and gold am I and red is in my eyes, a consummation devoutly wished for...
the shredding of physical limitations, a gazing into depths so metaphysical
love is death and death is life to come, death will only be the dew of immortality
I have crushed an universe and naught remains
so that I may go unto men for the last time
and amongst them will my sun set; in dying will I give them my choicest gift
love is death and death is life to come, death implies change and individuality
love death therefore and long eagerly for it
kill thyself die daily neither of these alone is enough
I have achieved true existence, the being of all thoughts come from my own
endless spirits wait for me to sculpt, the clay of their mundane essence
SoulStorming Echoes
the meek who serve like slaves look aloft when they long for
exaltation they shall inherit the earth no more
they clamber over one another
thus dragging each other towards the mud
and into the depths praising itself as life
I am being just to those who despise and smite upon them
superfluous they all appear to me their souls crawl out of their mouths
you must wish to consume yourself in your own flame:
how could you wish to become something new unless you had first become ashes
soulstorming echoes rise anew from the ashes of the fire which consumed it
I am defined by what I destroy and by what I create
While the docile regress into idolatry
Folly And Weakness
in a world that is in bondage to ideals, the true principle of self control is liberty
bow not before false idols
yet flame forth in fury against them with thy will
it is these thou must bring to naught
their standards attempt to halt thee from equilibrium
I am alone: there is no god where I am
therefore the kings of the earth shall be kings forever
and the slaves shall serve
dissolution of all restricting complexities
assimilate all poison for therein only is their profit
through pain cometh the truest pleasures
folly and weakness to any who may seek to limit thee
thou hast no right but to do thy own will, it shall arouse in thee the lion and child
crowned and conquering that cometh forth in fire and force
so that thou mayst awaken thy secret wisdom
it will fill thy hearts with the joy of rapture
and the eternal pleasures of uttermost delight
Monolith
the lucidity prior to the manifestation of being, existence and nothingness
the onset of incoherent thoughts illuminates the journey towards emptiness
the madness in the sanity and the sanity in the madness
blinding darkness-for those who follow ignorance
deafening darkness-for those who follow knowledge
whoever knows the unity overcomes death through ignorance
and obtains immortality through knowledge
move through the spheres, where nothing can be divided
where one is both one and two, a complete withdrawal
what sorrow can there be for he who beholds and enters the manifested oneness?
blinding darkness-for those who follow non becoming
deafening darkness-for those who follow becoming
whoever knows the unity overcomes death through destruction
and obtains immortality through becoming
the madness in the sanity and the sanity in the madness
the ultimate overcoming-the overcoming of man
Existence Beyond Being
clothed with a virgin body of defiled flesh
and a perfervid will to become refulgent omnipotent
I am with the heart; thou thy snake, thy coils burst me utterly in sunder
awake: life is within me! none shall understand; only the lucid and berserk
I dare with the courage, the courage of the lion
I speak with the silence, the silence of the dragon
exalted gemini's sit at the high places, they inebriate all life with their madness
I am heart, thou the snake, thou poison consumed me utterly
arise: life is within me! none shall understand; only the naive and frantic
I will with the energy, the energy of the bull
I dare with the courage, the courage of the lion
I know with the intelligence, the intelligence of man
I speak with the silence, the silence of the dragon
cultivating strength through discipline
listen, seek, compare, master, conquer, destroy and rule
The Doer Alone Learneth
immortal are the sagacious and yet they die daily
I write the secret of my soul into the vaults of eternity
The ecstasy which it brings forth accomplishes its own end
perfect in silence... a becoming!
through harmony of opposites, without diffidence and interference
in accordance with my will, the beginning of immortality
perfect in silence...without limits and all empty, there is a becoming!
merge into the great fire that consumes dust to ashes
fearful indeed is death, since all men fear it
but the abyss of questionings, shoreless and bottomless, is worse
doubt bringeth folly whereof the end is madness
death maketh man a king; and this kingliness groweth unto godhood
perfect in silence... a becoming! perfect in silence...
without limits and all empty, there is a becoming!
Will To Power
power to will
will to power - the power of will
the one who seeks to break through the "conscious programming"
in order to reconnect with the secret self becomes aware of its own true...
will to power - the power of will
equilibrium is the basis of the union of the self with the all
culminating in the enlightened apprehension of one's true...
will to power - the power of will
love is the law, love under will
I am thee enemy
for I am; the crowned and the conquering child
I slept with faith and found in my arms a corpse on awakening
I drank and danced all night with doubt
and found her a virgin in the morning
will to power - the power of will
