| 1. Conjuring The Thoughts
Towards the line that
separates life from death
Marching towards the freedom
that you think you will win
Heroes behind cowardly
creations gives no respect
Sleepless lie the enemies
awaiting the next move
A nothingness that is formed
into something greatly

Очень странный релиз, учитывая что группа из Швеции и играют что-то похожее на Melodic Death... Ничего общего ни с традиционными для жанра Ablaze My Sorrow, ни с ранними, ни с поздними Dark Tranquility и In Flames... И вообще, в анонсе было написано, что эта группа из разряда Children of Bodom, только лучше... Действительно, лучше!
Стиль группы очень тяжело описать, я бы это назвал Sympho Power-Progressive-Melodic Death... Шикарные оркестровые вставки, красивые, запоминающиеся соляки, частые смены ритма... Ничего похожего в принципе не существует... Качество записи очень хорошее...
Теперь о минусах: 1) Слишком частые смены ритма - музыканты сделали что-то очень сложное, но не раз создается впечатление оборванности мелодической линии и воспринимается сложно, сложнее даже чем их первый альбом "Timeless Departure"; 2) Музыка такая очень красива и необычайно разнообразна и сложна, но не цепляет эмоционально, как, например, шедевры Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Cryptic Wintermoon и.т.п.
Итог - Любителям разнообразной и мелодичной музыки рекомендуется; любителям простого и линейного тяжелого тупого рубилова категорически противопоказано...
С надбавкой за оригинальность, для шведского Melodic death совершенно не характерную, ставлю 9 баллов. |

Один из лучших альбомов в шведском дэт-метале. Тут вам и быстрый темп, и гроул и скрим, забойная игра на барабанах. Смена мелодий и темпа в каждой песни просто потрясает.
Складывается впечатление, что музыканты хотели передать атмосферу безумия... И им это удалось на все 100%. Лучший песни этого альбома, на мой взгляд, это - "Conjuring the Thoughts", "Effusion of Strength", "Cursed by Belief", "Shadow Creator". Однозначный маст-хэв для любителей мелодичного дэт-метала. |

Очередная Bodom'oподобная группа. Ребята решили выделиться из общей массы шведских мелодэт-групп тем, что выбрали путеводной звездой не типичные In Flames и Dark Tranquillity, а группы из соседней Финляндии. Примеси мелодичного power metal и быстрые смены ритма, характерные для metalcore команд, - всё это указывает на то, что без влияния COB и Kalmah не обошлось. В целом, музыка очень качественная, нельзя не отметить исполнительское мастерство музыкантов. Звук чистый - сведением занимались профессионалы. Впрочем, оригинальностью альбом не отличается. Те же финские коллеги делают всё на куда более высоком уровне.
Не самый плохой образец современного melodic death metal, но и не самый выдающийся. |

already have turned into
We all are wandering towards
extinction, coldness
And this is where you
want to create life?
Giving birth to a life that is
to follow the trace
But the ghost you hunt will
never ever let you win
You sacrafice your life for it all,
this is the end of the race
The life you live will soon
be taken for its sin
Doomsday, the very last
day in your existence
The thought conjures cold
shivers along your spine
Have you done your share
or have you fumbled?
Hordes of people flees
from their home
Burning fires make your
eyes become blind
Transforming into beasts while
judging and imitating their acts
The mist of death spreads
from land to land
Burning fires make your
eyes become blind
And is this where you
want to create life?
A war built upon invented extraction
You will become one in the end
Or will you fall?
You will get the answer
A war built upon invented extraction
You will become one in the end
Or will you fall?
You will get the answer
2. Effusion Of Strength
When you infuse that feeling of guilt
Claim your authorship of the world
A brightened orchard of truth
To burn your trenchant eyes
Your supremacy breaks down
You rattle on the floor
Giving you what you deserve
But still you wish for more
My cordless connection to your spine
Rewind all visuals but keep the sound
Every little twitch of my fingers
Pulsates in each piece of your mind
Fragile emperor battered down
Floating in the void of lost thoughts
Bitterly you sting spears into me
But Merely rash my face
Gone in a wormhole and no one
Knew your name
3. Shivering Shade
Lonely thought about a void
that feels so close
A lonesome phantom shivers
from the coldness around
You are watching the chaos
with broken wings of crystallized glass
Blood is falling like branches that breed
For every time your heart pound
Weak and sad, All that occurs
will blind you
Like a lightning from the sky
Weak and sad, The Death
will come to us all
Impressions burning like fire
Beating rain that cuts through your
skin like knives
Only shivering shades of red and black
You glance out on the scene that gives
you a feeling of elation
Everything is so silence and calm now
'til the second you hit the ground
The clouds are slowly falling down
towards the red edge of the horizon
You are asking yourself over and
over again: "where did everything go?"
Torned and injured but no one can
hear your lamentation
The mist appears from the field that
you are standing on
Mourning tones performed in agony
Cold, you are trying to find warmth, in vain
Loneliness spreads its wings around you
Where you stand on your mound
4. Cursed By Belief
Behold here lies the godless world
of defiance as fragile walls
These shallow ties of blood are
already destined by time
Unfold the endless wave of
decadence as light disappears
Commence the final countdown
to this damnation game
Clear your mind tell me what's real
The answer you find is always
coloured by your belief
Unsloved is the question of
guilt and innocence as chaos rise
Historic acts of boredom
can't be undone
Believer now choose your fate
Illusions from the past have made
the outcome reversed
Believer now enter the gate
Meet with the darks side or
forever be cursed
So you mortal soul the choice
you make is yours
The storm is coming and nothing
can change its course
Behold here lies the godless world
of defiance as fragile walls
These shallow ties of blood are
already destined by time
5. Awake
Entering the dreams once again
Forging through the barrier to a
new dimension
Afraid to close your eyes.
Afraid to fall asleep and to dream evil acts
To be betrayed again and again in
greyscale beyond the dreamers labyrinth
Turn around where you lie under
supervision of emptiness
Perspiring and heavily breathing
through screams inside
Hunted by your eternal enemies with the
dawn as your heaven, your savior
All you fear is summarized into one nights
torment of mental terror
I close your eyes, I make you disappear
Forlorn memories, At the border to insanity
I close your eyes
Distorted figures with formes from
you savage fantasy
Madness and sick surroundings create
worlds that transform for every step you take
Waking up, disoriented and cold of sweat,
to a life to gain new experience from
Try to forget. To close your eyes for what
you have seen in dreams and then dream again
6. Void Of Hope
The leaves are slowly falling down on the
road that brings you to your empty decision
Colours around you reminds you of the fall
The grey sky creates a subdued atmosphere
that embraces you where you stand
Thoughts about the world you will choose
appears in front of you
A colourful mass takes shape when you
sing your tones filled with depression
It feels lightly when you don't
have to think any more
Sounds falling drops reminds you
of this days harvest of agony
A calm echo is travelling
from tree to tree
Thoughts about the world you will choose
appears in front of you
Far away you can see the steep slope that
will be your last hope
Void of hope. Images in motion
Falling down. The mirror is broken
Suicides sweetness appearse the
same moment you open your eyes
The feeling of void before you
gives no hope in the future other
ones are trying to give you
The darkness symbolize what is your faith
Your eyes are becoming red by the
blood while this world is getting
darker for every day
Tears from the sky cleans your
agony away
Beside the road, a tree starts to
shiver, while you are walking forward,
haunted by the night
Colours around you reminds you
of the fall
You float weightless, Everything
becomes black before your eyes
Creepy feeling of intoxication appears.
Everything turns to simple
No thoughts, only loneliness,
You are close now
You can feel the law of gravity.
No thoughts, only a lonely death...
A last thought about what
has been your life makes your
belief in death even stronger
A faint sigh that gives you
shivering, that makes you cold
You are looking at this burning world
go up in smoke, the atmosphere
makes you weak-kneed
It's time to yield for the
beast that is caged...
7. A Dead Man's Race
Headless and complex through
stars and above
The witness of time is forever lost
A culture of wisdom, an era of pain
Focus beyond the body and soul
Expendable will be forgotten
By the forgotten and the mad
Perpetual rivals in this war
Principality of destruction
Evil and mindless
The broken ones stand tall
Defected by infest
The forceful time must fall
This spectral divinity
Burning through time and space
Trapped by the unholy trinity
This is a dead man's race
Empty eyes behold what is left
Empty eyes in the fall of mankind
Watching, hollow and fading
Drowning in a man's hypocrisy
Staring into the void
Wishing for an astral breakthrough
But no one is to be found
In the world of forlorn
Darkness whelming us
Darkened by the spectral mist
Another bound infinity
Bound to unspoken lies
Evil and mindless
The broken ones stand tall
Defected by infest
The forceful time must fall
8. Shadow Creator
The giddiness refuses to loose
its grip on my mind
I am thrown down on the ground
again and again in absence of balance
Hunted by no one, but in the same
time by the whole world
The empty shells screams for more,
but there is no more to give
Trembling I sit down and start to
create shadows
Your lack of aura makes me wonder.
Do you really exist?
An illusion made by my own mind?
I can see you...
Waiting... Waiting for relief
Searching... Searching for ease
I am trying to become one
with the all that I lean on
Don't want to be seen,
Don't want to be judged
and don't want to be any longer
All impressions creats a lack
of equilibrium i my mind
Trembling I sit down and
start to create shadows
An illusion made by my own mind?
Becoming the observer
instead of the hunted
You are looking at me but you
don't dare to comfort my eyes
A quiet laughter breeds fit of
laughter inside of me
You are not worth more than the
stony soil that i'm walking on
A quiet laughter breeds fit of
laughter inside me
A silent sigh and a last glance
on your behaviour
Makes me want to help you towards
the end that will come to us all
9. Tranquillity's Maze
Frustrated by the pace
that kills creativity
The evil within gives
anguish to the outside
Creating chaos that is
canalized on to others
Through time and space,
day and night
The darkness grows stronger,
suffocates the life
Slow down, analyze your thoughts
Act now, before you get caught
Slow down, analyze your thoughts
Act now, before you get caught
Wake up with a sense filled with pictures
It's hard for you to choose your path
Everything is a maze, a burden
that you have to bear
It's time to hunt for what is missing
Slow down, analyze your thoughts
Act now, before you get caught
Slow down, analyze your thoughts
Act now, before you get caught
Total darkness with blinders
before your eyes
You are sprayed the trouble to
see the misery
The sense of knowing that
something is wrong
Appears in every decision
you make
Caged by the grasp
that your subconscious has
taken on your sense
Echoing teasing laughters
that make you feel singled
out and hunted
Hard to find tranquillity
enough to fall asleep
Everything stands in
your way in the
path that you've choosed
Frustration about the time
that is lost
Your inner self becomes
a hell that spreads to the outside
