 Нынче в мире столько коллективов рвутся играть melodic death metal, что становится трудно создавать нечто новое, непохожее на остальных. Но всегда найдутся те, кто, практически не привнося особых новшеств в стиль, способен обратить на себя внимание. Колумбийцам UnderThreat это более чем удалось - качественно сыгранный, быстрый и мощный шведский МДМ заставляет снова и снова переслушивать и переосмысливать весь альбом от начала и до конца! Одной из важных составляющих альбома являются технично исполненные мелодии, пронизывающие буквально каждую песню - быстрые, гармоничные, местами депрессивные и откровенно давящие на душу - именно они создают такую гнетущую, полную ненависти атмосферу. Акустические вставки добавляют в музыку красивую печаль и усиливают общее впечатление от прослушивания. Ударные не прекращают работать ни на секунду - быстрые сбивки и бластбиты добавляют злобы и агрессии, а вокал, поющий то низким гроулом, то скримом (а местами слышен и чистый вокал) как будто пытается показать всю безвыходность ситуации, - эта музыка не оставит никому шанса на выживание! Качество записи можно оценить как 8 из 10 - всё качественно записано и сведено, ровно и без огрехов, но всё же, на мой взгляд, иногда гитарам не хватает чёткости и сочности. Несмотря на это, звук воспринимается довольно легко, мелодии быстро запоминаются и долго ещё крутятся в голове слушателя. Конечно, есть определенная доля однообразия темпа, риффов, мелодий, это может оставить значительный осадок, особенно у ценителей жанра. Тексты в основном содержат мысли о жизни и смерти, вопросы о судьбе, вечности, что отлично вписывается в общую мрачную картину. Из всех треков на альбоме выделю несколько, наиболее интересных: одноименная тема альбома "Deathmosphere" задает тон всему альбому - готовит слушателя к тому, что ждёт впереди; "Parallel Hells" и "Restrained Hate Coexistance" выделяются чистым вокалом в припеве - звучит недурственно и трогает за душу; "Third World Blood" считаю отличным акустическим завершением альбома - мелодия навевает мысли о вечном и оставляет будто какую-то недосказанность. Если судить о работе в целом, то перед нами ещё один техничный mdm-акт, которым, несмотря на незначительный недостаток в лице однообразия, смело можно дополнить любую метал-коллекцию. |

Drown in the seas of madness.
Watch me feeding my self with this pain
Strengthening my senses with fear
Finding the force to stay alive
Into this deathmosphere
Experience the self diminishing effect of a deprived existence, as the awareness of your own mortality
Paints this grotesque scenario.
Feel the cold hand of cruelty
Tearing out your spine, the smell of reality
Is the stink of your dead rotting fantasy
Wake up and see the raw essence of this infernal nightmare, the true source of pain and hate
Watch me feeding my self with this pain
The sound of distant echoes of forgotten voices drown in the seas of madness, memories of sanity and order suffocated by the weight of impossibility.
Constant sensation of powerless,
Desperation increases your already
Well developed sense of irony
2. Kingdom Of Eternal Crisis
[Lyrics: J. Perez]
Crossing through deception the worst level of agony
Swimming in the deepest sands of depression
Reflecting the pain in their eyes
Can't you find your way out of your weakness?
Can't you find the source of your destructive force?
There is no time, cast the sickness out of your being,
Run away, before they find you
Complex inconsistence in your mind
A therapy of punishment is what you deserve
The memories of your past will take control
For the rest of your life
One by one they will be drifted away
One by one they will disappear
One by one they will sink forever
In the sands of eternity
One by one they will be drifted away
One by one they will disappear
Can't you find your way out of your weakness?
Can't you find the source of your destructive force?
There is no time, cast the sickness out of your being,
Run away, before they find you
Walking in circles with empty hands,
Buried in the abyss of impotence
Crowning your world to live at the
Enslaving kingdom of eternal crisis
3. Parallel Hells
[Lyrics: N. Bermudez]
Disgrace in infinite forms
Suffocating condition of impotence
Every personal exit door from hell is locked
Desperate thoughts unable to find
The way out through the gates of understanding
Missing pieces, the disgrace of every single ignorant structure
Unexchangeable individual temples
Of relentless frustration
Lifetime prison inferno
In a multidimensional era of hollow intentions
Unmeasurable degrees of sorrow profundity
Uncalculable levels of emotional devastation
Equidistant from pain
Till the fatal end dying on parallel hells
Desperate thoughts unable to find
The way out through the gates of understanding
Missing pieces, the disgrace of every single ignorant structure
Unexchangeable individual temples
Of relentless frustration
Equidistant from pain
Till the fatal end dying on parallel hells
Disgrace in infinite forms
Suffocating condition of impotence
Every personal exit door from hell is locked
4. Echo Shaped Life
[Lyrics: N. Bermudez]
Words written through the centuries
Inspired by primitive perceptions
Scrambled by the tongues of generations
And spoken through the voices of perversion
Observations from the early existence
Forever disfigured by convenience time and distance
Ideas conceived into ancestral context
Twisted into undisputable contradictory concepts
The words are being pronounced
Manipulation is being announced
The message from the maker, favorite invention
Opium for the crowds
Following the reflection
Of distorted sounds of domination
Filling the emptiness inside
By living that echo shaped life
Impregnating and dividing
Hearts and minds of civilizations
Justified atrocity and control
Disguised in love and salvation
Spreading every time louder
This infamous transfigurations
To generate more echoes
All over the nations
5. Black Innertia Disintegration
[Lyrics: D. Bermudez]
How did it come to this?
Once seemed like I had it,
But now it's gone
For long time I waited
For long time I believed
Only to find my own disenchantment
Complexity devouring innocence
Reality crushing fantasy
Selling out my blood for forgiveness
Giving away joy to receive discontent
Everything seemed clear before,
Now I don't know who I am anymore
Silent dissatisfaction eating me up
Sweet asphyxia growing inside
There's nothing you say that will mean something for me
There's nothing you do that will bring me back
Slowly falling apart even when nobody realizes
You see me smiling but I'm not there
I hear you talking but I don't care
Dense atmosphere of despair,
Silent descending to end
Black innertia disintegration
6. Embraced By Disaster
[Lyrics: D. Bermudez]
Running blind through the maze,
Searching for the light
Looking for a made up self salvation
Guided by the certainty of the ignorant
Slowly sinking in the sands of misery,
Devastating awareness of his own destiny
Consumed in every attempt,
Blinded by faith
The last moment is coming
I can feel the death rattle closer, the silent choking extermination,
I'm being embraced by disaster
The tragic ending of a poisoned soul.
Consciousness of guilt,
The bleeding wound of a broken promise,
Downcast by the infamy, drowned by injustice
Diminished by hope, condemned to witness his own demise.
Slowly sinking in the sands of misery
Suffocating ecstasy of despair
The tragic ending of a poisoned soul
The last moment is coming
I can feel the death rattle closer,
The silent choking extermination,
I'm being embraced by disaster
The tragic ending of a poisoned soul.
Slowly sinking in the sands of misery,
Devastating awareness of his own destiny
Consumed in every attempt,
Embraced by disaster
7. Prisoners Of Their Own Betrayal
[Lyrics: D. Bermudez]
They rise with the edge of the sun,
To live a life that's not theirs,
Running against father time,
Only to see him die
Their souls they burn in the flames of conformity
In emptiness they smile with grin of the failed,
Just not to cry the tears of decay
In secret they share the joy for their demise,
Knowing no better, slowly they die
Prisoners of their own betrayal
A dream of victory they dreamed once,
But now they run not remembering why
Meaningless and tired they look away
Wondering, maybe, where they lost their way
Aged eyes, now look forward to what never will be
Soar hands, pain reminding past pain
Burned mind, never to understand
Lost soul, in failure they die
Prisoners of their own betrayal
A dream of victory they dreamed once,
But now they run not remembering why
Meaningless and tired they look away
Wondering, maybe, where they lost their way
Prisoners where they lost their way
8. Read The Codes
Abstraction I'm facing
Misleading I'm living
So complex, yet so shallow
So righteous, yet so hollow
Existential illiteracy
Alienation supremacy
Simplicity proliferation
Implicit, yet invisible
Interactional equations
To arise
From the swamps of subjectivity
And get rid of the inculcated inferiority
Read the codes
Written in the book of experience
To awake from the ignorant's sleep
And get off the highway to frustration
Read the codes
Written in the language of the observer
Existential illiteracy
Alienation supremacy
To arise
From the swamps of subjectivity
And get rid of the inculcated inferiority
Read the codes
Written in the book of experience
To awake from the ignorant's sleep
And get off the highway to frustration
Read the codes
Written in the language of the observer
9. Restrained Hate Coexistence
[Lyrics: D. Bermudez]
Every time I look at you
All I see is the decaying of your revolting kind
So superficial, almost artificial,
The obviousness of the truth you cannot see
You rather make up all your enemies.
You seem to have every thing you wanted
Except for what you always needed
I will be there watching you
I will be there watching you falling
I will be there seeing you
I will be there seeing you rotting
The judge of judges, enforcer of justice
Don't even know the limit of your truth
Unable to understand, you rather destroy
Unable to create, you rather consume
Ignorance is your bliss, envy is your disease
Criticizing is your only ability!
I will be watching you meeting
Watching you meeting your demise
And still you will be wondering
And still you will be wondering why
Every time I look at you
All I see is the decaying of your revolting kind
So superficial, almost artificial,
The obviousness of the truth you cannot see
You rather make up all your enemies.
You seem to have every thing you wanted
Except for what you always needed
10. Restrained Hate Coexistance
RESTRAINED HATE COEXISTANCE
L: D. Bermudez
EVERY TIME I LOOK AT YOU
ALL I SEE IS THE DECAYING OF YOUR REVOLTING KIND
SO SUPERFICIAL, ALMOST ARTIFICIAL,
THE OBVIOUSNESS OF THE TRUTH YOU CANNOT SEE
YOU RATHER MAKE UP ALL YOUR ENEMIES.
YOU SEEM TO HAVE EVERY THING YOU WANTED
EXCEPT FOR WHAT YOU ALWAYS NEEDED
I WILL BE THERE WATCHING YOU
I WILL BE THERE WATCHING YOU FALLING
I WILL BE THERE SEEING YOU
I WILL BE THERE SEEING YOU ROTTING
THE JUDGE OF JUDGES, ENFORCER OF JUSTICE
DON’T EVEN KNOW THE LIMIT OF YOUR TRUTH
UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND, YOU RATHER DESTROY
UNABLE TO CREATE, YOU RATHER CONSUME
IGNORANCE IS YOUR BLISS, ENVY IS YOUR DISEASE
CRITICIZING IS YOUR ONLY ABILITY!
I WILL BE WATCHING YOU MEETING
WATCHING YOU MEETING YOUR DEMISE
AND STILL YOU WILL BE WONDERING
AND STILL YOU WILL BE WONDERING WHY
EVERY TIME I LOOK AT YOU
ALL I SEE IS THE DECAYING OF YOUR REVOLTING KIND
SO SUPERFICIAL, ALMOST ARTIFICIAL,
THE OBVIOUSNESS OF THE TRUTH YOU CANNOT SEE
YOU RATHER MAKE UP ALL YOUR ENEMIES.
YOU SEEM TO HAVE EVERY THING YOU WANTED
EXCEPT FOR WHAT YOU ALWAYS NEEDED
