| 1. The Greatest of All Lies
Oppresing the poor, mocking the sick
Crusader of virtues, your holy fire lit
Blessed be the ones who will not fight
Against the words of the tyrant's might
The empty prayers of absolution that dies
Obedient souls bow to the passion of the Christ

Новый UNLESHED – это форменное убийство. Он зол as hell и цепляет as fuck, как сказали бы в Америке. Легковоспламеняющаяся смесь из неистовства жужжащих гитар, четких криков вокалиста, найшикарнейших (именно так) соляков и воинственных антихристианских текстов. И это только о быстрых песнях. Имеются в наличии также эпически настроенные медляки, заслуживающие не менее скромного потока эпитетов. Все что требуется – это послушать первую песню и автоматически крепко подвиснуть на весь альбом. Гарантировано. Настоявшийся на трэше шведский дэт хорош в принципе, а уж если на альбоме проходные песни отсутствуют как класс и каждая мелодия хитовая – это ли не повод заявить о том, что мы имеем дело с бомбой? Минусов можно выделить два, да и те являются минусами постольку-поскольку. Во-первых, на задний план задвинутые ударные. Но если посмотреть с другой стороны, это ведь вперед выведенная гитара. А то, что она творит, на передний план выставить сам, прошу прощения, Бог велел. Если бы у каждой группы гитаристы пилили такие соло, мир стал бы значительно лучше (надеюсь, вы простите мне такую несдержанность в оценке). А второй минус – это уже упомянутая первая песня. Я премного благодарен UNLEASHED, что они написали этот шедевр, но поставить лучший трек на альбоме в качестве открывающего – значит лишить интриги при повторных прослушиваниях. Но скучать не доведется: «Your Children will Burn», «Hammer Battalion», «Carved in Stone», «Warriors of Midgard», «Midsummer Solstice» этого не позволят. Вот такой вот killer альбом получился, шведы жгут напалмом. Kick ass, как сказали бы в Америке. Hammer Battalion… Unleashed! |

Забавно. Все факты были сказаны в предыдущей рецензии, можно только с ней согласиться на все 100%. Я опишу в общих чертах работу именитых шведских дэтстеров. Как и с предыдущим диском, эти мужики показали, что такое настоящий, классический шведский дэт-метал. Цепкие мелодии, скоростные запилы гитар, чумовая барабанная дробь и шикарнейший гроулинг. Кристально-чистая запись. Классное оформление, правда, у меня обложка немного напомнила обложки Motorhead, но это и не важно, когда вы слышите такую качественную музыку. Так что слушайте, наслаждайтесь, наверное, лучшей работой в дэте за 2008 год. |

The greatest of all lies
The greatest of all lies
The Christian values a marketing game
Through holy wars and terror in our name
Upon this rock your church has beed built
For all mankind, to live in fear and guilt
The empty prayers of absolution thatr dies
Obediet souls bow to the passion of the Christ
The passion of the Christ
The greatest of all lies
The greatest of all lies
Nailed to the cross, as death sets in
The blood of Christ spilled for all human sins
The great illusion of his final sigh
Obedient souls bow to the passion of the Christ
The passion of the Christ
The greatest of all lies
The greatest of all lies
My God, why hast thou forsaken me?
2. Long Before Winter's Call
Now it came to pass in those days
There went out a decree
From Caesar Augustus on his throne
That all the world should be enrolled
So Joseph took Mary to the balls
And from Nazareth they went
To the city of Bethlehem
For registration and taxing, right on then
The bastard child was born
Long before winter's call
The bastard child was born
Long before winter's call
And it came to pass, while they were there
That she was great with child
Lived in a stable 'til it was done
She brought forth her bastard son
And as the shepherds in the field
Were keeping watch over their flocks at night
An angel of the lord
Said unto them a saviour has been born
The bastard child was born
Long before winter's call
The bastard child was born
Long before winter's call
3. Your Children Will Burn
Religious filth, spreading like the plauge
Bombs and prayers
The damage you've done, will not be gone
In a thousand years
-The world will be mine again-
I will bring you
Destruction,hatred and terror
You will bleed for me
Destruction,hatred and terror
You children will burn
I laugh at your faith, you are all the same
Maggots of God
Prophets and priests, and their fascist beliefs
Will be torn apart
-The world will be mine again-
I will bring you
Destruction,hatred and terror
You will bleed for me
Destruction,hatred and terror
You children will burn
4. Hammer Battalion
Onward pounding war machine
The hammer battalion Unleashed
Warheads armed with nuclear hate
Using humans as our bait
The order is to kill
Fire at will
The order is to kill
Fire at will
Hammer battalion Unleashed
Smashing through like rabid hounds
Walls they built fall to the ground
Those who oppose is flee or die
Death is marching on our side
The order is to kill
Fire at will
The order is to kill
Fire at will

5. This Day Belongs to Me
Through mist and shadow dim
Stained with life ever so grim
Timless travails in the utter dark
In the valleys of death i have walked
Now, is my time!
Odin - set me free
This day belongs to me
Face down in piles of human dirt
Endless pain that doesn't hurt
Torn apart yet physically whole
By the filth of man nothing grows
Now, is my time!
Odin - set me free
This day belongs to me
5. Marching Off to War
Free from their boundaries and chains
We march of revenge again
With our legions prepared by our side
To fight, to live and to die
The hour of thruth is here
So we rise to the challenge everywhere
Marching off to war
Join or fall!
Behold as we march off to war
Cities shall burn and fail
Nothing can stop us now
By the hammer of thor they shall bow
For the masters of art have returned
Our enemies' flag will be burned
So we rise to the challenge everywhere
Marching off to war
Join or fall!
Behold as we march off to war
Cities shall burn and fail
7. Entering the Hall of the Slain
Burning illness deep within
Demons haunt my every breath
All the years in agony
Staring into the eyes of death
....into the eyes of death
The time that was given to me
Alone with the thoughts some would dread
Staring into the eyes of death
Entering the hall of the slain
Entering the hall of the slain
I fear no God
I fear no pain
As my time has come
Entering the hall of the slain
Leave it all behind me now
Soil, wind and fire
No regrets as i bid farewell
Valkyries, come take me higher!
....come take me higher
The hour has struck for me
At the end of my concious desire
So come, come take me higher....
Entering the hall of the slain
Entering the hall of the slain
I fear no God
I fear no pain
As my time has come
Entering the hall of the slain
Open wide the gates of Valhalla!
8. Black Horizon
Towards a black horizon
Our brothers are avenged, the battle is won
The longships set sail in the night
On raging sea, with stars as guide
Thoughts of those we could not save,
The wounds i received and blows i gave
The darkness before my eyes
The Freezong wind that chills my spine
Black Horizon....
Towards a black horizon
The waves that clashes to the side
The hunger and pain i must survive
Still i can feel the smell
Of my enemies blood and hear their cries for help
A glance from an axe blade shines
As memory of those i slayed this time
Long is our voyage at sea
To Birka shores, to the land of the free
Black Horizon....
Towards a black horizon
Thor, give me the strenth
Like so many times before
Thor, give me the power
To bring us home to Birka shores
I raise my hammer in honour
Of those who will never come home
I swear an oath to their fathers
I will carve their names in stone
Black Horizon....
Towards a black horizon
Black Horizon....
Towards a black horizon
9. Carved in Stone
Gone, is the black horizon
But not the images of passed time
Dead, are many of the warriors
Who fought by my side
Now as i carve the names in stone
Of those who dies so far from home
I mean for these words to bring them pride
And as time will pass their deeds will never die.....
Accept this gift of eternal remembrance
For the courageous and bold
Thor, give these runes your blessing
As time will unfold
Now as i carve the names in stone
Of those who dies so far from home
I mean for these words to bring them pride
And as time will pass their deeds will never die.....
10. Warriors of Midgard
Politicians and employers
Lack of needed future knowledge
Protectionism is what they grow
Scared to the death by the things we know
Never fall into their trap
Never buy their empty crap
Their institutions will fail
Our way of life prevail
The new breed that won't be led
Warriors of Midgard
we define the road ahead
Warriors of Midgard
Society of imitation
No place of innovation
Vassals of conformity
Want to end individuality
It's a zombie's dance all the way
And become just another prey
Their institutions will fail
Our way of life prevail
The new breed that won't be led
Warriors of Midgard
we define the road ahead
Warriors of Midgard
The new breed that won't be led
Warriors of Midgard
11. Midsummer Solstice
Nature stands erected
The seasons of the Sun
Gather around the stones
The time for blot has come
Light the fires of the north
Bring forth the goblets
A toast to our fortune
To Freya, Frey and fortune
Come lust for ectasy
Unleash the seed of man
Come lust for ectasy
It is Midsummer's Eve
Morbid spirits rising
Essence of the night
They sing a song of blasphemy
The demons dance tonight
Light the fires of the north
Bring forth the goblets
A toast to our fortune
To Freya, Frey and fortune
Come lust for ectasy
Unleash the seed of man
Come lust for ectasy
It is Midsummer's Eve
12. Home of the Brave
As Gungir has beed thrown
Over the battle field
Brynhilde chooses her price
Among those with sword and shield
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
Where Odin awaits
Preparing for the final day
In the blood of every warrior
In the heart of honest men
In the souls of those who are dying
There is comfort at the end
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
Where Odin awaits
Preparing for the final day
....home of the brave
Welcome to Valhalla!
13. I Want You Dead
Common man you make me sick with hate
Nothing about you is real
Talk in circles to avoid the truth
All the things you must conceal
Prove your point just once and i'll give in
All the crap you need to say
Point your finger at us, brave like few
Standing safely miles away
I want you dead
I want you dead
Sacred son of yet an ungly bitch
Comprehension ain't your game
Christian looks - it is the look of your face
Lack of knowledge is your name
As i vomit in your general direction
Tears are falling as you flee
Walk the roads without a spark
I'll help you die as charity
I want you dead
I want you dead
