Реюнион сталелитейных легенд из Германии Destruction в своё время несомненно порадовал всех адептов старой школы немецкого треша – я также не раз высказывался позитивно насчёт этого заранее (ещё при распаде?) запланированного мероприятия, но так – за компанию. Приятным и милым остаются те путеводные нити, что возвели на пьедестал почёта немецкий трэш там, в 80-х. Теперь же немчура, согревая застарелые кости в отблесках лучезарной славы, решили развернуть тушку коллектива на 180 градусов и, собрав барахлишко, двинулись, как это часто бывает на пенсии, искать корни. Свои, естественно. И, как ни странно, нашли. Многие поклонники после такого финта ушами начали биться в экстазе от перенесённого шока и расхваливать группу направо и даже налево. Надо отдать им должное – есть за что!
Разумеется, упёртый фанатизм не должен застилать тёмной пеленой глаза, ведь новое (то самое, что хорошо забытое старое) – прекрасный повод погулять по волнам памяти и высветить без особых усилий "свежетухлый" материал. У "Metal Discharge", кроме того, что Майк и Шмир ещё живы, несколько логичных достоинств. Первое – то, о чём уже сказано выше. Материал выстроен на фундаменте старых идей, в достаточной степени отличных от тех, что музыканты доносили до слушателя на "All Hell Breaks Loose" и "Antichrist". Точнее, эти самые старые идеи выстроены просто в другом порядке – вот и всё. Впрочем, раз уж любое мнение субъективно, то давайте займёмся политикой двойных стандартов – применительно к Destruction самоповторы, затёртые до дыр элементы, вызывают лично у меня скуку (а касаемо Kreator и Sodom – почему-то нет). Второе. Звук, представленный на CD, под стать той эпохе, в которую немцы канули на этот раз. Грязный, посыпанный пылью поколений, вылетающий как будто из трубы мусоросборника, в общем, как говорил Карлсон, привидение с мотором – "дикое, но симпатишное".
При всём при этом, даже после второго прослушивания я не смог понять пластинку до конца – пошло, надо сказать, тяжело. Наверно, по той причине, что CD слишком ровный, но ровный не на high quality, а застывший в паре шагов от оценки "отлично". Это же может объяснить заявления коллег о том, что на диске нет лучших или худших композиций. Выход "Metal Discharge" для старых фанатов трэша – немецкий бальзам на сердце; все каноны стиля соблюдены и воскрешены из мёртвых. Если же вы ровно дышите по отношению к старому Destruction, то вряд ли полюбите новый. "Перезрелый" динозавр незапамятных времён, вмёрзший в горные породы. Берите и пользуйтесь, коллекционный янтарь на дороге не валяется. |

The ravenous beast...
...the claws of evil ripping the credulous poor apart
...the statement of claim ignored by those with a blackheart!
Wrapped up in lies
The ravenous beast
Seems education didn't teach us well
This ego mania leads into a bombshell
Disgrace surrounds me on those luckiy days
Cause soon the world will be ablaze
Only to give and to share luck
Keeps the unprivileged away from running amok
2. Metal Discharge
There wouldn't be good without the vil
No wisdom without stupid people
Would there be fear if we could be immortal?
Welcome to the opposition portal!
Don't we all hate the adjustment we make
Is to compromise for a safe life a mistake?
Musical destruction is our outbreak
Metal discharge
Payback to all those losers
The armies of black will dictate
Metal discharge
All those years of torment
In a society that I do hate
Metal discharge
Pay...
Metal discharge
The opposition against all odds
Unbreakable, longhaired, noise loving squads
The non conform metal power station
Grows slosly through nation and nation
Once greeted with smiles
Cause of outrageous lifestyles
Our breed wil resist all fake trends
Until this sad world ends!
Caal it culture of the brainsick
Our press ignored music
This cultural essence of noise
Keeps us watchful not to turn into toys!
3. Ripping The Flesh Apart
One of a kind - a left genuis behind
Didn't we have the same background back in the old days
You were like a brother to me now you're on this wild chase
One of a kind - a left genuis behind
The blood pounding thou our veins
Was from the same source
Now your hunters are screaming
For vengeance - no remorse
What happened to our secret wishes and beliefs
Misplaced by thoughts of murderers and soul thieves
Your resolution, your intention to spread fear
Ain't a smart step cause now you know your end is near
Suffer - an artist needs to sacrifice
Rephrase - you've lived your nasty vice
Missunderstood - a social outcast
A boy from the hood - second cast
Rippin' the flesh apart
Twisted conception of art
Rippin' the flesh apart
Supremacy won't guard
Rippin' the flesh apart...
Breach of privilege, rage and hatred made you blind
In manic ecstasy, a genius left behind
You've killed the bloody bitch that gave you fucking birth
Despite the human factor as an unbearable curse
Prevention of the carnage, searching for the cure of the prey
How can a sublime brain strike in such a primitive way?
4. Fear Of The Moment
I - am a ready die
The world won't miss me
You wanna know why?
Humanity - is out of control
Why should I stay and play my lousy role?
I - can't stand the pain
The script is written
Don't wanna remain
Now - the time is right
Won't be too difficult
To give up the last fight
Fear of the moment
My world is a maze with a dead end
Fear of the moment
The will to live is hard to defend
If I - would pass away
Would they ever miss me
Maybe just for one day?
If I - would have real friends
The dead end would make no fucking sense
This pain is shredding - rewind!
The sense of a free mind
I - I feel the season is right
To attract attention and stop the fight
Why - you wanna know why?
My time isn't up
I'm not ready to die!!!
5. Mortal Remains
As I'm writing these lines
We're starting to breathe
Having the chance to spread the word
Seems a natural release
Difficult to resist
The moment of pleasure
Than doesn't exist
Temptation is leading to the abyss
Addicted to the sweet deadly kiss
Mortal remains - wallow in additional bloodstain
Mortal remains - hopeless life goes down to drain
Mortal remains - evil spiritual domain
Mortal remains
Remains
The chance to intimate
Will diminish my pain
Intellectual update
Will show if I'm not insane
Slaughtering my dreams
Nothing is like it seems
Suicide pride
Vague thoughts can't decide
Termenting your soul
No hope on parole
Death wish fates life
Victory of the inner strife!!!
6. Desecrators Of The New Age
This patriotic picture seems to be so real
Saviours fighting for the real big deal
Imposing heroes rescuing our holy planet
Illusive wartime propaganda gadget?
Freedom denied
Campaign of pride
Paragons made on the screen
Bloody war regime
Frustrating to foresee
Deceiving gutter policy
Spreading hate and rage
Desecrators of the new age
All they do mis fucking betray
Submission is all they can pray
Heroes of the front page
Desecrators of the new age
Nice entertainment is all you can you say?
This blood and sorrow is not a worldplay
7. Historical Force Feed
Biased till the last day
Till the day I have to die
To overcome the legacy
And asked my self - why?
Seeking for the truth that hides in the shady past
Our frightful past tense leads to the typecast
I've spoken out - accused and worried
Fucking bleed - historical force feed
I've been accused - without a deed
Sickening - historical force feed
Damned a before I could say knife
Cause of my breed
Statue - bared infamous action
By the dead and buried
Banning my tribe's past isn't a solution
We all know the bloody truth, e pay our contribution
Could I blame you for a commited crime of your kinship?
Do you think the son of a criminal desrves to get the whip?
We don't want to wash off the bloodon our nations hands
But don't sentence someone for his roots
Take a chance!
8. Savage Symphony Of Terror
It's inside my brain
It drives me insane
It's eating me alive
Into the pits of black
A faithless payback?
Evil twisted mind!
Twisted reality
Makes me feel low
Blood driven infinity
Welcome to the freak show!
The symphony - is killing me...
The symphony
The savage symphony of terror
Narrow downright lad
Voices in my head
Strapped and buried
Killing deep dark hole
Burning lonely soul?
Prohibition is your foe!!!
To fate or to remain, a fatal part of the game
Would it change your role, if nirvana's just a dark hole?
9. Made To Be Broken
In your eyes - I unveil the fate of your life
It's not right? You're never to see the momentum to be
I'm alive - how do you thrive
The curse of the system has to end
Through my eyes
You will come to believe
That somebody is near to release (and to fight)
Suffering of your sins and fear
To save your light to lose your vice
Where is your destination?
Any hesitation?
Soon you'll lose some control
Hatred and pounding craving for nothing
Soon you will damn you mere soul
Made to be broken - you will never foresee
Made to be broken - you're never gonna be
Made to be broken - like he broken glass of your soul
Made to be broken - like your fucked up one man show
The system needs to wipe ou the thinking and loving
For a cruel world
Empty minds have frozen out your soul and free will
Since your birth
So the days went by and you changed
To much for me can't you see
I wonder why, you are rotten to the core
Are you free?
10. Vendetta
Bloodshed of a conservative force
Death is selling well of course
Third world is an easy aim
Let's start the slaving game
In times of ignorance
It's the cruel who will decide
Of a life and death license
No chance to hide
Vendetta
Kill or be killed too much blood
Has already been spilled
Vendetta
The soul demands for revenge
Punish all of those who don't have the inner strength
Lustful blood and games
Pain has too many names
Fight fire with fire
Builds up a sad and cruel empire
How to sort out the difference
Between gravity and nonsense
In times of manipulation
Truth or imagination?
The blood thirst of the hypnotized masses
Screams for more gore and guts
The play is over ashes to ashes
The lucky survivor will go nuts...
