 Очень странно, что данный альбом остался незамеченным. The Haunted — группа, образовавшаяся после распада At The Gates, а значит, имеющая прямое отношение к корням мелодик-дэта. Что самое интересное, именно death-составляющей здесь не ощущается, тем не менее, оценить в двух словах этот опус невозможно. Перед нами очень и очень оригинальная работа, с вокалом (хоть убейте, я вначале подумал, что это он) — а-ля Филл Ансельмо из Pantera, риффами At the Gates (сильно ускоренными и звучащими просто шикарно), ну и классическими скоростными мелодик-дэтовскими ударными партиями (бочка-рабочая-бочка). Как жанр, я бы отнес это к thrash metal все-таки. Ну да не суть важно.
3, 4, 5, 9 — понравились больше всего. |

Pain!
Truly addicted
Life is pain
I am addicted
to this pain
Hate song!...(I live to bury you)...
Stabbing and shooting and ripping the life out of you.
I get off and I wish that you could too!
Open chest tickle will quiver your bones.
Just lay back and chill. 'cos I run this show.
Pain!
Truly addicted
Life is pain
Life is infected
by this pain......
Hate song!...(I live to bury you)...
There's no need to explain,
you know who you are.
I deliver the pain,
I'm the baddest by far...
Die onehundredthousand times,
One million ways to...Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate!
Hate song!
Lifelong!
Hate song!
2. Chasm
Relentless,
I gather a mind of a kind unknown to all.
Each revelation, knowledge earned through blood and sweat.
My scars are worn with pride.
I count on no one but myself.
Going down
Last call!
All amounts
to what you are!
Hopeless.
Useless fucking mind trip drains your soul.
Faceless names to rule your fate.
No man shall hold me down.
No man shall own what's mine
(ain't no such thing as a free ride...)
Going down
Last call!
All amounts
to what you are!
Going down
Last call!
All amounts
to what you are!
Reality bites
Jaws of life.
Open wide
Time to die.
What is a mind?
A terrible thing to fight.
Now you see
What lives inside...
I bid my time.
Judge, jury and executioner.
An eye for an eye.
A permanent measure to your lies.
Christ smiles in Hell.
Going down
Last call!
All amounts
to what you are!
3. In Vein
You and many are one alone.
You seek through the heavens and under the stone.
The words that I speak still left untold.
For who's there to listen when silence is gold.
I come
from a place where no one goes,
you know that,
I won't
set eyes on another dawn.
One last hit...
seeing and hearing, breathing and being.
Doubting and staggering I fail to believe.
The edges are torn my life ripped to pieces.
Shame, pain...now I leave it.
I come
from a place where no one goes,
you know that,
I won't
set eyes on another dawn.
Fuck if I care...
[spoken]
Lay me down one last time.
Caress the blade in my hand.
If I shed my blood in vain,
could I rest forever?
Should I lay my soul to waste?
No one lives forever...
A candle it flickers before my eyes.
I feel so at ease as I start to realize.
No more frustration as the thought frees my mind.
I blow out the candle, one last good bye...
I come
from a place where no one goes,
you know that,
I won't
set eyes on another dawn.
Life slips away....
If I shed my blood in vain,
could I rest forever?
Should I lay my soul to waste?
No one lives forever...
4. Undead
Cold skin clings to my face,
more dead than alive.
Spend your days without a trace,
fed up with the lies.
I'm one of the few undead,
I've seen through the lies,
live life hanging by a thread.
I'm evil undisguised.
Cut the strings that tie you down,
refuse to play the clown.
Bite every hand that feeds,
make sure society bleeds.
I'm one of the few undead,
I've seen through the lie.
Life hanging by a thread,
I'm evil undisguised...
Do you know how it feels,
staring down the barrel of a gun,
everyday more or less the same,
just a wait `til your days are done,
work your fingers to the bone,
grind your body underneath the stone,
stains of red flash across your back,
seize the power to return the attack...
I've seen through all the lies.
I'm evil undisguised...
If you wonder what drove me insane,
take a look at my scars.
They go deeper than the skin,
so with a gun I'm back to win.
I'm one of the few undead,
I've seen through the lie.
Life hanging by a thread,
I'm evil undisguised...
Fuck.
5. Choke Hold
You fucking maggots,
don't crawl for me I'm not your friend.
Spare me your bullshit,
you animals with human eyes.
With power
I constitute my norm.
With hatred
I cleanse this putrid world.
We are the dead,
Rising!
Life slips away,
Chokehold!
You fucking insects,
don't talk to me I'm not your friend.
Spare me your bullshit,
you animals with human eyes.
With power
I constitute my norm.
With hatred
I rule this blood dimmed world.
We are the dead,
Rising!
Life slips away,
Chokehold!
Sad mortals you're hollow.
Your man-made god won't save you.
Don't try to escape me
I will prevail.
Transparent human life form.
Barbed wire in your veins.
Diseased and lifeless creatures,
Now enter death!
6. Three Times
Selfdefense or murder of first degree.
Tell me who are you to pass judgement.
Raise my hand in anger,
a just cause, to pacify the aggressor at all cost.
So what is the law?
When all else fails, there's nothing left.
Given a choice.
Stand back or suffer the consequences.
Three times,
my fist came down.
So what is the law?
When all else fails, there's nothing left.
Given a choice.
Stand back or suffer the consequences right now.
[spoken]
I refuse to be victimized, or given your pathetic fucking powertrip.
You're not looking to kill anyone, you just want to display how big and
strong you are.
Well, check again motherfucker!
Do you think that you'll live forever?
I have no qualms about mortalizing your arse!
Check again motherfucker!
You're in the real world now.
So how does that feel for a change?
How does it feel to be the victim?
Victim..victim...victim
Twisted indifference,
Violence against violence.
Destroy resistance.
Violence against violence.
Selfdefense or murder at first degree.
Tell me who are you to pass judgement?
Cold reality, suffer the ultimate truth.
Die motherfucker!
So what is the law?
When all else fails, there's nothing left.
Given a choice.
Stand back or suffer the consequences right now.
Three times,
three times
my fist came down, down, down
7. Bullet Hole
Breaking in and entering,
my will is the law.
I feel the scent of innocence
and I know it's all about to fall.
Never repent or change, [x2]
never submit or yield. [x2]
Trespassing holy ground,
reveal your secrets.
Unlock these private boundaries.
I'll grant you one more dream.
Never repent or change, [x2]
never submit or yield. [x2]
I have an urge to kill.
I have an urge to rise above my victim.
To see their life blood fade away.
I have an urge to feast upon the weak.
You're mine
every goddamn time.
Crowbar my tool of trade.
Duct-tape and a six inch switchblade.
My love is a Stanley-knife.
My love is the fear in your eyes.
Never repent or change, [x2]
never submit or yield. [x2]
I have an urge to kill.
I have an urge to rise above my victim.
To see their life blood fade away.
I have an urge to feast upon the weak.
You're mine
every goddamn time.
[spoken]
You think you're safe in your suburban dreamscape.
Well, I could change all that...
I bide my time...you're such sweet meat...
I enter
you're screaming.
One gunshot
you're bleeding.
Dead silence
relieves me.
You're open wide
to see me...
Never repent or change,
never submit or yield.
I have an urge to kill.
I have an urge to rise above my victim.
To see their life blood fade away.
I have an urge to feast upon the weak.
You're mine
every goddamn time.
8. Now You Know
One last try. Unfinished promise,
reach down deep inside.
I give up the day I die
at least this pains mine!
We all die!
You and I!
Live a life
or live a lie!
No retreat, no giving in,
no spiritual surrender.
Face the facts. You're life is pain,
you're lost inside your mind.
We all die!
You and I!
Live a life
or live a lie!
So now you know,
life's lesson has taught me well
I have no hopes.
Worn down,
broken and beat by society's lies.
New pride,
found in the struggle of your survival.
We all die!
You and I!
Live a life
or live a lie!
So now you know,
life's lesson has taught me well
I have no hopes.
Facing yourself.
Realize that you're nothing.
Through the eyes of despair,
a new fire rises.
Life lived uncompared,
you set your own standards.
In one final statement;
Do what thou wilt...!
So now you know,
life's lesson has taught me well
I have no hope...
Demonseed,
rise in me! [x2]
9. Shattered
Stare at my reflection,
a face to me shown unknown.
Cleanse with perfection,
no man shall stop the seeds I've sown.
You see me crawl, but that's not true.
I'm just a step away from you.
I feel my energy rising.
Shatter me who shatter dares...
Don't trust your eyesight,
it will deceive your every glance at me.
I feel no sorrow, kill...
like there's no tomorrow.
You see me crawl, but that's not true.
I'm just a step away from you.
I feel my energy rising.
No way to keep this fury controlled.
My hand shakes with anger.
Stare unto me as I shatter your soul..
Shattered..
Goats head,
Daed eyes.
No reconcile.
Submit
to none.
I am divine.
Shattered,
Shattered...
You call me evil.
I'm but the instrument of the Lord.
You call it senseless,
I see a need to cleanse this putrid world.
You see me crawl, but that's not true.
I'm just a step away from you.
I feel my energy rising.
No way to keep this fury controlled.
My hand shakes with anger,
Your life... Shattered.
10. Soul Fracture
Darkness, closing in on this detestable domain.
Bound and gagged, another soul that cannot take this strain.
Eyes still see, but don't want to see this ultimate misery.
Take my life! Ease my pain! Bring me to my knees.
Living on the edge on insanity.
Falling into despair.
Force fed with horror with,
now submit to the region of dead.
Pain inflicted upon my fractured soul.
No hope!
I'm paralyzed!
Spears of death, pierce my soul, my integrity is stained.
Seeds of death, growing in my mind, my fate seems preordained.
Living on the edge on insanity.
Falling into despair.
Force fed with horror with,
now submit to the region of dead.
Pain inflicted upon my fractured soul.
Not dead!
I will survive!
Pain inflicted upon my fractured soul.
No hope!
I'm paralyzed!
Fractured soul!
Darkness, closing in on this detestable domain.
Beaten, tormented and fractured I cannot take this strain.
Eyes still see, but don't want to see this ultimate misery.
Take my life! Ease my pain! Bring me to my knees.
Living on the edge on insanity.
Falling into despair.
Force fed with horror with,
now submit to the region of dead.
Pain inflicted upon my fractured soul.
No hope!
I'm paralyzed!
Pain inflicted upon my fractured soul.
Not dead!
I will survive!
11. Blood Rust
Stale drops of inferior taste.
Handed down just to lay to waste.
Foul scent of a dream gone bad.
Die the death that he never had.
I've seen the flaming sights
I've walked that dreaded mile.
Religious fragmentation
I gasp another line.
So be it
This place turns to dust.
So be it
Our blood turns to rust...
I see the world as gone...
Bring the pain!
I see the world as gone.
Epidemic spreads across the land.
To every place and into every man.
The solution lost for all.
Betrayed and broken.
Domestic intervention may stop it for a while.
Concealed intentions Our code they mastermind. .
So be it
This place turns to dust.
So be it
Our blood turns to rust...
I see the world as gone...
Bring the pain!
I see the world as gone...
I see the world as gone...
12. Forensick
At night I listen to the sound of the animals,
I understand now that there are no limits to what you are capable of.
You don't even see it yourselves,
and the news anchor on the TV set talks in a neutral voice about rape,
murder
and this weeks weather without change of tone
It seems that nothing matters as we close in on the turn of the millenium,
violence and commercial breaks has become the opium that used to religion.
Fuck you, mankind.
You're so ugly, so vain.
The language of brutality is all you seem to understand,
bloodlust as long as it's someone elses blood.
To fuck, suck, eat and shit.
Breeding has turned into a pastime,
death as recreation...
You are no better than a pack of hyenas,
the sight and smell of someone elses pain and misery makes you feel good,
ensuring one more day in safety,
decimating the odds that you or someone you love is going to get hurt.
Well don't fucking fool yourself,
you're not safe,
not in this world.
All you are is collateral damage,
presumptive headlines,
expendable meat for the media hounds,
statistics and forensic reports for some brainless fuck to drool over on the
internet.
You are royally fucked.
13. Last...
A raped woman is a whore, and when the newsman explains how the rapist in his
frustration over his limp dick fucked her with a carpentersknife you wince in
your safe little cubicles, and self-righteously pass judgement. She deserved
it, that just shows how it goes, and it never would've happened if she had
listened to her parents. I say fuck you. If I had the bomb I'd let it rip. You
are culprit and prey in the same sick being. Parents and politicians rave over
our attempts to shut it all out, as if the drugs and sex are the problems. In
this world it's only natural to seek out oblivion, it's the only way we can
survive, once we see the horror...One last thing, never expect me to try being
a part of your heap of shit. I'd rather stay out here in the cold for the rest
of my fucking life than be a part of your sick, fucking society.
14. Burner
[Only availible in Japan]
Cover the lies with lies it never ends. Tribulation cometh the days alas! With
a new set living a life of downright strength. All I believe the effects of it
all. Burn her! Burner! Reach for emotional greed. You're trying to regain what
you lost, you can't see. As a matter of fact we all bleed to dream. We all
feel deceived. We all die in spite of the lies! Burn Babylon! Burn Babylon!
Transcend to a level of action without thought. Meld mind body and bones I'm
becoming a new life form. Annihilate pain. Sacrifice my life to live on...
Burn Babylon! Burn Babylon! Born, bred, life come cover me, fight, fall, rise,
realize, this strife, cause, need, hope, dream, life fade away, pain, hatred,
god-like fake, useless lies...Fistful of empty promises. Another illu sion for
the vast majority. Mass produce Create to consume. I swear Kurtz was right
when he spoke..."Destroy, Exterminate them all..." Burn Babylon! Burn Babylon!
15. I'll Be Damned
[Only availible in Japan]
Facing the options, my life's stinking trail. As all these illusions turn pale
and insane. Victim to none, my own hunger devoured. Full system shutdown, my
drug is divine. My life is becoming a death, trapped inside...I'll be damned.
Christ was a downright cunt in his own time, Fuck that! I will be damned... So
how do you figure you're better than me? You cower at all (you're) too scared
to be free. My vision is clear as I watch your decline. If I was a god you
would all fucking fry! My life is becoming a death, trapped inside...I'll be
damned. Christ was a downright cunt in his own time, Fuck that! I will be
damned... Screaming for mercy, suburbia burns. Hells opens wide, as the fires
light. Rising a new generation of hate.. Destruction of all life. (spoken)
Start praying preacher man... Feeding the flames of society's end. It's each
man for himself. A loaded gun, a heart of stone. The will. I shall survive!
I'm finding a new way, my hatred will burn. Revel in flesh as the scales
slowly turn. My vision is clear as I watch your decline. If I was a god you
would all fucking die! My life is becoming a death, trapped inside...I'll be
damned. Christ was a downright cunt in his own time. (Hammer it!!!)
